Males should protect their sperm stock and fertilization potential. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of different environmental constraints on the reproductive success of males of the hymenoptera parasitoid, Dinarmus basalis. We have chosen a biotic factor (host resource) and an abiotic factor (a cold shock). Our results show that a cold choc on adult males does not affect their reproductive potential. However, a cold shock applied during development reduces males emergence but not developmental durations. Similar results are obtained with a dietary constraint applied during male development. This constraint affects also male phenotype by reducing both male and genital tract size. A stress applied during development redu...
