To clarify the impacts of parasitic behaviour of Dastarcus helophoroides on free amino acids concentration of the hemolymph in its host Monochamus alternatus, free amino acids in the hemolymph of M. alternatus larvae were analysed and compared with the composition of larvae parasitised by their main...
