Both egg laying (represented by the two libraries EF and EF + F) and JA (or MeJA) treatments induce the indirect defenses of elms by stimulating the emission of volatiles that attract egg parasitoids.

However, although jasmonic acid (JA) is known to induce indirect defenses in plants via the production of volatiles that attract egg parasitoids, the headspace profiles of egg-induced plants and JA-treated ones differ from each other indicating that other plant hormones are also involved in the orchestration of defenses that signal the presence of eggs to egg parasitoids [ 39, 40].

In mimicking real eggs to attract females, these egg-spots function as natural releasers [ 22, 23], or intra-specific sexual advertisement [ 44], apparently serving to ensure a greater fertilization success of the eggs by bringing about greater proximity of the female's mouth to the male's genital opening.

The carcasses attract flies for egg laying, resulting in an increase of toxic maggots that could lead to avian botulism epizootics [ 18].

We predict that eviction will differentially affect growth of mass (decrease) and structures involved in begging (no effect or increase, see [20]) Finally, we also compared predation rates between non-evictor and evictor nests to test the prediction of the hypothesis that evictor behavior is costly because it is more conspicuous as tossed eggs attract more predators.

The function of egg-dummies in mimicking eggs to attract females is known from haplochromines and also from ectodines such as O. ventralis [ 14].
