From: Deciphering host-parasitoid interactions and parasitism rates of crop pests using DNA metabarcoding
Comparison of DNA metabarcoding (n = 400) and rearing (n = 400) approaches in estimating the rate of parasitoid species from millet head miner Heliocheilus albipunctella eggs (a) and larvae (b) collected in the field. RIM (Rearing Including Mortality): the parasitism rate calculated including unhatched eggs or dead larvae. REM (Rearing Excluding Mortality): the parasitism rate calculated excluding unhatched eggs or dead larvae. Significant difference represented by the different letters (a and b).
