Abstract: Intraguild competition is a complex phenomenon that shapes parasitoid communities. When several species of parasitoids oviposit within the same individual host, a complex phenomenon of larval competitive interaction occurs. Within the same guild there is a specialization in competitive strategies, sometimes multiparasitism is avoided, but some species are facultative hyperparasitoids/predators of their competitors.
