Cover illustration: Example of intra-guild competition. A female Trichogramma turkestanica parasitizes eggs of Ephestia kuehniella (top picture) and a larva of Harmonia axyridis predates both unparasitized (white) and parasitized (black) eggs of Ephestia kuehniella (bottom picture). Pictures by D. Thibodeau and G. Boivin, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
