Impact of herbivore-induced plant volatiles on parasitoid foraging success: A spatial simulation of the Cotesia rubecula, pieris rapae, and Brassica oleracea system
Puente, M., Magori, K., Kennedy, G. G., & Gould, F. (2008, July). JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, Vol. 34, pp. 959–970.
author keywords: tritrophic interactions; herbivore-induced plant volatiles; parasitoid behavior; signal utility; spatial simulation model
MeSH headings : Animals; Brassica / parasitology; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Female; Hymenoptera / growth & development; Hymenoptera / physiology; Larva / physiology; Lepidoptera / growth & development; Lepidoptera / physiology; Models, Biological
TL;DR:
Under the most likely natural conditions, the model predicts that C. rubecula gains fitness from following plant cues, and in most of the parameter combinations studied, parasitoids that responded to cues attacked more hosts than those that foraged randomly.

Determining optimal population monitoring for rare butterflies
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 22(4), 929–940.
author keywords: butterflies; distance sampling; endangered butterflies; insects; mark-recapture; rare species; species monitoring; threatened species; transect counts
MeSH headings : Animals; Butterflies / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Population Density; Time Factors

Mark–recapture analysis provided by far the greatest amount of demographic information, including estimates of population size, detection, survival, and recruitment probabilities, and Pollard–Yates population indices derived from transect counts did not provide estimates of demographic parameters.
