superparasitism in British English (ˌsuːpəˈpærəsɪtɪzəm) nounthe parasitic deposit of eggs on a host already parasitized by a different member of the same species Examples of 'superparasitism' in a sentencesuperparasitism Our investigation also proved that superparasitism may help parasitoid avoid encapsulation.As a counteracting strategy, many parasitoids can evade this host response through self-superparasitism.Parasitism, superparasitism and paralization of the parasitoid have been discussed in this paper.Superparasitism occurred on average 3.6 ± 0.88 times per egg mass, with 2.7 ± 0.57 eggs being superparasitized.We further tested if natural interspecific variation in superparasitism behaviours predicted symbiont dynamics among parasitoid species.However, this did not cause superparasitism. |
