I'm not about broodnest expansion on a physical basis, but yes to the
necessity of maintaining a rapid turnover of the population. In my recent
presentations at conferences, I've been pointing out that the entire adult
population overturns, on the average, in less than 5 weeks during spring
and early summer. When population turnover slows down, parasites can catch
up.
I will be elaborating soon in an article in ABJ.
