The mechanism for this [[hyperbolic function\|hyperbolic]] relationship is suggested to be that each of the new host species are too rare to support the evolution of specialist parasitoids (Janzen & Pond, 1975). The resource fragmentation hypothesis is one of two hypotheses that seek to explain the distribution of the [[Ichneumonidae]].▼ ~~{{Wikify\|date=September 2008}}~~ ==~~Description~~References== Janzen, D.H. & Pond, C.M.
