Cotesia glomerata is a parasitic wasp and an important natural enemy of cabbage lepidopteran pests of the cabbage whites. In addition, since the 1980's it is an intensively studied model species for a broad range of research areas: biological control, ecology (behavioral, chemical, population and community), evolution, behavior (foraging, mating, egg-laying), molecular biology, genetics, neurobiology, learning and memory, sex determination, physiology, sensory physiology (olfaction, gustation, vision, mechanosensation), biosystematics/taxonomy. In all cases knowledge on the link between genotype and phenotype will provide enormous added value. This species has a near worldwide distribution, originating from the Old World, it has been introduced into Japan and North America to combat the small cabbage white. Many groups, worldwide, conduct research on this species. We can deliver genetic material anytime!
