Article Title: Nasonia vitripennis males exhibit greater effort and competency in detecting hosts with conspecific females than other Nasonia males
doi: 10.1098/rsos.251303
Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Cafeteria arena setup for the behavioural assays: three hosts parasitized by conspecific females and three hosts parasitized by heterospecific females were placed alternately. In each assay, one male was introduced at the centre of the plate. Video recording was done immediately after introducing the male for 4 min using a Logitech C615 HD webcam. The colours used to distinguish hosts in the picture are only for representation. (b) The distance traversed by the males: movement of each male was tracked and digitally scored by the customized Python program for measuring search distance and calculating search speed.
Article Snippet: We then introduced a virgin male in the centre of this arena and recorded its behaviour for the next 4 min using a Logitech C615 HD camera (all data are uploaded at https://www.youtube.com/@Evogeniiserm ).
