This phenomenon is a natural part of many ecosystems and plays a significant role in regulating populations of primary parasites. In essence, a lisäparasit is a parasite of a parasite.
The existence of lisäparasit forms a trophic level above the primary parasite, creating a complex web of
This biological control mechanism is particularly important in agriculture and pest management. By understanding and utilizing
The study of lisäparasit is crucial for understanding ecological dynamics and for developing effective biological control
