- Association The second food plant significantly affected L. dispar growth, pupal and emergence weights, and development time.
- Association The second food plant most affected Cotesia melanoscela development time and size.
- Association Parasitoid performance was most affected by host growth rate and final host weight.
- Association Host plant switching affected L. dispar weight at parasitoid emergence.
- Association Switching itself was not a significant factor in C. melanoscela size or development.
- Intervention effect L. dispar larvae on Populus as the second host outperformed larvae ultimately fed Acer.
- Intervention effect Parasitoids from L. dispar fed Populus outperformed those from larvae fed Acer.
- Observation Parasitism mortality of L. dispar was highest with Populus, poor with Acer, and intermediate after switching.
- Observation Adult C. melanoscela emergence was highest with Populus, poor with Acer, and intermediate after switching.
