      abstract     = {For many adult nectar-feeding parasitoids food and moisture
                      are essential for survival in the field. Early in the
                      season, when floral nectar is not yet available in cotton,
                      extrafloral nectar (EFN) is already present on young cotton
                      plants. 2 The parasitoid Microplitis croceipes (Cresson) can
                      use EFN cotton plants as an only food source. The longevity
                      and reproduction of EFN-fed female wasps was comparable to
                      wasps fed with honey and water provided on nectariless (NL)
                      cotton plants, and was significantly higher compared with
                      wasps kept on NL plants with no additional food source. 3
                      Wasps that were given preflight experiences on EFN cotton
                      plants choose EFN cotton over NL cotton plants in two choice
                      experiments in the flight tunnel. The parasitoids are more
                      willing to search on an EFN plant at their second and third
                      encounter with a plant previously visited, compared with an
                      NL cotton plant. 4 Wasps can locate EFN from short distances
                      by its odour alone, and find it almost as fast as honey, but
                      much faster than odourless sucrose, which is only found
                      randomly. Experience with EFN increased the retention
                      ability of parasitoids on a flower model.},
