The onset of oviposition was delayed for 3 days by both modes of treatment, an effect not seen in Bracon hebetor Say. The difference is in the time of development of the ovarioles, before eclosion in the wasp and after eclosion in the black blow fly.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY}, author={KRATSAS, RG}, year={1975}, pages={581–582} }

In contrast, radiation and alkylating agents cause a decrease in egg production and hatchability for the oocytes undergoing active mitotic divisions with no reduction in the size or shape of the eggs deposited. The deposit of undersized eggs from the 2nd-9th day and a specific deterioration of part of the oogenic sequence provided additional morphological evidence of localized cell vulnerability. However, because provisioning the wasp oocyte depends upon accessory cell function and somatic tissue metabolism, the initial action of this inhibitor of adenine synthesis may be somewhat removed from the site of the evident damage.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY}, author={KRATSAS, RG and GROSCH, DS}, year={1974}, pages={577–583} }
