Abstract

Highlights: [•] We report the effect of size on male combat in a parasitic wasp. [•] Males with a large thorax are more likely to win fights. [•] Males fighting for females in the field are also larger than the average male. [•] Unusually for solitary wasps, the largest wasps were male. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
