Absence of complementary sex determination in two Leptopilina species (Figitidae, Hymenoptera) and a reconsideration of its incompatibility with endosymbiont-induced thelytoky. [PDF]
Insect Sci, 2022 Under complementary sex determination (CSD), if the fertilized eggs are homozygous, they develop into diploid males. Forms of thelytoky induced by endosymbiont lead to genome homozygosity as well. By presenting our results in two cynipid wasp species Leptopilina heterotoma and Leptopilina clavipes, we discuss the presumed incompatibility between CSD ...

Biology, 2022 Thrips tabaci Lindeman is a serious pest of various cultivated plants, with three, distinct lineages within a cryptic species complex. Despite the well-known significance of this pest, many attributes of these lineages are not yet fully understood ...

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023 Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a dominant parasitoid that attacks agromyzid leafminers. Two reproductive types occur in D. wani: arrhenotoky (in which virgin females produce only male offspring; and virgin females mate with males to produce ...

The kin selection theory of genomic imprinting and modes of reproduction in the eusocial Hymenoptera
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 677-695, April 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Genomic imprinting is known from flowering plants and mammals but has not been confirmed for the Hymenoptera even though the eusocial Hymenoptera are prime candidates for this peculiar form of gene expression. Here, the kin selection theory of genomic imprinting is reviewed and applied to the eusocial Hymenoptera.

Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 358-369, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Liriomyza huidobrensis, L. sativae and L. trifolii are polyphagous agromyzid leafminers that have recently arrived in Australia, posing a threat to Australian vegetable and ornamental crops. Adventive and endemic hymenopteran parasitoids of agromyzid leafminers already present in Australia should assist in the management of these invasive ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022 Invasive species can act as an evolutionary trap for parasitoids when they are unsuitable for reproduction but indistinguishable from suitable hosts. Such incompatible interactions reduce parasitoids’ fitness and can reduce the viability of the population. Using an individual based model, we show how genetic variation in host preference and performance

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 5, Page 525-538, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (Heteroptera: Coreidae), commonly known as western conifer seed bug (WCSB), is an invasive pest in the Mediterranean, where it has been associated with the decline of Pinus pinea L. kernel production. A biological control of WCSB populations with native egg parasitoids may reduce economic losses.

Commodity risk assessment of Acer palmatum plants grafted on Acer davidii from China
EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by 2‐year‐old bare rooted plants for planting of ...
