After “knock-down” by an 8 μg/g dose, only 50% of the treated females regained their feet. Higher doses killed all wasps in the sample. Daily egg production and hatchability were recorded until death of the survivors of 8 graded sublethal doses. The number of eggs developing from vitellogenic oocytes was reduced at all doses, but significant decreases in hatchability resulted only from the highest sublethal dose. Examinations of the abdominal tissues under the microwith scope revealed a decrease in fat cell size more rapid and drastic than that seen in terminal starvation. A resulting inefficient protein metabolism could explain the difficulty in vitellogenesis. Resorption of the mature ova and the largest oocytes, an adjustment to nutritional deprivation, also was observed. No evidence of mitotic-cell sensitivity was obtained.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY}, author={GROSCH, DS}, year={1975}, pages={659–662} } @article{grosch_hoffman_1973, title={The vulnerability of specific cells in the oogenetic sequence of Bracon hebetor Say to some degradation products of carbamate pesticides}, volume={2}, number={6}, journal={Environmental Entomology}, author={Grosch, D.
