AI critic verdicts

  • agroecologist · plausible

    “Antestiopsis is a recognised pest genus on ornamentals/coffee, and scelionid egg parasitoid records in the Old World tropics are biologically consistent with the genus's host range.”

  • entomologist · plausible

    “Telenomus seychellensis is an old-world Scelionid described from Pentatomidae hosts; rearing from Antestiopsis cruciata on jasmine is congruent with documented Antestiopsis egg-parasitoid records.”
