- agroecologist · plausible
“Aphidius ervi is a well-documented aphid endoparasitoid; switching behaviour (frequency-dependent host selection) is ecologically established and the source quote directly supports the extracted claim.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Aphidius ervi is a well-documented aphid endoparasitoid wasp; switching behaviour (frequency-dependent host preference) has been reported in this species in published literature, consistent with the source quote.”
