Conversion From Natural Broad‐Leaved Forest to Conifer Plantation Increases Relative Detritus Dependency of Aculeata Communities

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
We compared the community structure of Aculeata bees and wasps in natural deciduous broadleaved forests and two coniferous plantations (Cryptomeria japonica, “Sugi” and Chamaecyparis obtusa, “Hinoki”) in southern Kyushu, Japan. Compared with natural forests, the dependence of Aculeata communities on the detritus‐based food chain increased in both ...

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.

Warming Reduces Parasitoid Success and Narrows Their Diet Breadth

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
Warming may have a major impact on trophic networks, but few interactions are typically studied. Here we show that experimental warming strongly decreased the success of parasitoid development across 28 Drosophila‐parasitoid interactions from a tropical rainforest network. Warming strongly narrowed the diversity of hosts that the parasitoids could use.

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.

Local species richness of parasitoid wasps (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) in Afrotropical forest: Conservation perspectives

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 198-210, January 2026.
Using extensive Malaise trapping, we collected a high richness of Pimplinae (86 species, 5892 individuals) in habitat types across a successional gradient. We found higher richness in forest than in nearby farmland, highlighting the importance of tropical forest in conserving parasitoid wasp richness.

Investment in cocoon-silk and structure of the clusters of cocoons produced by gregarious microgastrine wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2009
After leaving their hosts, the larvae of endoparasitic braconid wasps pupate in cocoons. To determine their investment in cocoon silk, the dry weight of newly emerged wasps and that of the empty cocoons were measured for three gregarious braconid species

Iranian Braconidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea): diversity, distribution and host association [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2016
An annotated list for all species recorded from the territory of Iran during more than a hundred years (1901–2016) of research is given. A checklist of 780 species in 141 genera belonging to 26 subfamilies of Braconidae known from Iran is listed, among ...

Oviposition and Reproductive Performance of Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on Six Different Pyralid Host Species

open access: yes, 2014
Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a gregarious ecto-parasitoid that attacks larvae of several species of Lepidoptera, mainly pyralid moths infesting stored products.

A survey of braconid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae, Homolobinae, Macrocentrinae, Rogadinae) in Kerman province, southeastern Iran [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2017
The fauna of the braconid subfamilies Euphorinae, Homolobinae, Macrocentrinae and Rogadinae were studied in Kerman province. Specimens were collected using Malaise traps and sweeping net during 2013–2014.

Contribution to the fauna and phenological knowledge of high mountains Opiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) in Kerman province (Iran) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2018
The present study provides new data about the fauna and phenology of Opiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species captured in high mountain areas of Kerman province (South-Eastern Iran). Sampling was carried out from April 2014 to September 2015.
