From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Preliminary taxonomic study of the genus Praon (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) and its host associations in Iran [PDF]

open access: yesنامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2007
In the current study, the information on occurrence, distribution and host aphid-plant associations for the species of Praon Haliday in Iran are presented. Eight species of Praon were found in the areas under study, which include four previously reported

Adaptive preferential selection of female coccinellid hosts by the parasitoid wasp Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Females of the parasitoid wasp Dinocampus coccinellae are known to parasitise both male and female coccinellid hosts. It is suggested that female hosts provide more resources for developing wasp larvae because they tend to be larger than male hosts, and ...

Deep Learning Pipeline for the Identification of Ground Beetles (Carabidae) in New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The identification of invertebrates is often difficult and time‐consuming because of their high abundance and diversity. This limits the use of invertebrates in environmental monitoring and conservation. However, computer vision approaches combined with deep learning models offer a range of benefits to insect conservation, particularly for image‐based ...

Associative odour learning affects mating behaviour in Aphidius ervi males (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
We used the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi reared in its host Acyrthosiphon pisum to examine if male sexual attractive responses can be conditioned to an odour (vanilla) that is not present in the natural environment.

Host‐associated chemical cues mediating host‐finding behaviour in the larval ectoparasitoid Cephalonomia tarsalis

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8459-8467, September 2026.
Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Host recognition and acceptance behaviour in Cotesia sesamiae and C. flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), parasitoids of gramineous stemborers in Africa

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
The host recognition and acceptance behaviour of two braconid larval parasitoids (Cotesia sesamiae and C. flavipes) were studied using natural stemborer hosts (i.e., the noctuid Busseola fusca for C.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
