摘要： Parasitoid wasps are a group of insects with significant ecological and economic value, exhibiting highly adaptive and diverse reproductive behaviors and strategies in natural environments. This review provides an overview of the various reproductive strategies of parasitoid wasps, including mating, oviposition, host defense mechanisms, and nutrient acquisition. It explores how these strategies maximize reproductive success in changing environments. The review highlights how parasitoid wasps enhance reproductive success through strategies such as multiple mating, inbreeding avoidance, and sexual selection. It also discusses how host quality assessment, competitive strategy, and patch time allocation optimize offspring survival. Additionally, parasitoid wasps have evolved immune evasion and nutrient utilization strategies to maximize reproductive potential under limited resource conditions. The insights gained from understanding these reproductive adaptations offer promising applications in improving biological control programs. By leveraging advancements in mass-rearing techniques, pheromone-based mating regulation, targeted host selection, and genome editing for venom optimization, the efficacy and sustainability of parasitoid-based pest management can be significantly enhanced. Additionally, future research should focus on the interactions between multiple reproductive strategies in complex ecological settings, as well as the impact of abiotic factors such as climate change on parasitoid fitness and population dynamics. Multi-omics approaches and behavioral ecology studies will further elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms underpinning parasitoid adaptation, facilitating the development of precision-based biological control strategies. By integrating ecological, evolutionary, and technological perspectives, parasitoid wasps can be more effectively harnessed as sustainable agents for pest suppression, contributing to environmentally friendly and resilient agricultural systems.
