Abstract
Activities of the PhD project are described. First, the overview of the literature concerning the genus Sclerodermus, a quasi-social parasitoids. Secondly, the study of intraspecific competition (between individuals of the same species) in S. brevicornis. Finally, choice behaviour was analysed in relation to the degree of kinship between the parasitoids and the host on which they were reared (target or substitution). Females usually cooperate with each other, but kinship relationships and the rearing host may influence their behaviour.
