Species delimitation and molecular dating of southern African Tetramesa (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): An understudied microhymenopteran group

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The genus Tetramesa Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) comprises over 200 species of herbivorous wasps that feed exclusively on grasses. Recent field surveys in South Africa for grass biological control programs have uncovered a large diversity of potential Tetramesa on African grasses.

Chalcidid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) of Opisina arenosella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae) on coconut palm in southern India.

Zootaxa
Eleven chalcidid pupal parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) of the black headed caterpillar (BHC), Opisina arenosella Walker, 1864 (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae) were reared from the South Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Rainforest transformation reduces parasitoid wasp diversity—Can the enrichment of flowering vegetation alleviate this?

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 825-836, December 2024.
Rainforest transformation to monoculture plantations reduced species richness and abundance of parasitoid wasps. The study also highlighted the differences in community composition of parasitoid between forest and plantations. Experimental enrichment with flowering vegetation increased species richness of parasitoid wasps by 18% and abundance by 127 ...

Reproductive ecology and egg parasitism of the Samoan swallowtail butterfly

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract We investigated the reproductive ecology and effects of egg parasitism on the Samoan swallowtail butterfly (Papilio godeffroyi), which survives only on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, after having disappeared from the much larger islands of Upolu and Savai‘i in independent Samoa.

Maxent Predictive Species Distribution Models and Model Accuracy Assessment for Two Species of Psilochalcis Kieffer (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) Occurring in the Eastern Great Basin of Utah, USA

Diversity
Two species of Psilochalcis wasps (P. minuta and P. quadratis) were recently described from Utah’s eastern Great Basin. The extent of their known distributions is extremely limited, based on few data points. We developed species distribution models (SDMs)

The frequency and chemical phenotype of neighboring plants determine the effects of intraspecific plant diversity

Ecology, Volume 105, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Associational effects, whereby plants influence the biotic interactions of their neighbors, are an important component of plant–insect interactions. Plant chemistry has been hypothesized to mediate these interactions. The role of chemistry in associational effects, however, has been unclear in part because the diversity of plant chemistry ...
