The sentinel approach to quantify ecosystem function intensities

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2305-2317, October 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity, through species interactions, underpins numerous ecosystem functions that can lead to ecosystem services and disservices. Quantifying these functions is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies, as well as the impacts of land use change.

The abundance and phenology of four common agromyzid leafmining flies (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and their associated parasitoid wasps in southern Victoria

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Three polyphagous agromyzid leafminers, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), have recently invaded mainland Australia, posing a threat to horticultural crops. Overseas, these species are often effectively controlled by local hymenopteran parasitoids.

Effects of Crop Rotation Diversification and Livestock Integration on Above‐Ground Arthropod Dynamics Under Conservation Agriculture

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Diverse crops in conservation agriculture systems can support a variety of arthropods, while sampling methods affected arthropod diversity outcomes. Canola‐Medics‐Wheat‐Medics rotation had a varied effect on arthropod diversity. We suggest that multiple taxa are necessary to compare diversification practices.

An insect †Archaeopteryx: Cretaceous amber fossil elucidates the evolution of complex host detection and ovipositor mechanisms in parasitoid woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Orussoidea)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.
We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Ecological Niche Adaptations Influence Transposable Element Dynamics in Pollinating and Non‐Pollinating Fig Wasps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The influence of ecological niches on transposable element (TE) dynamics, particularly in mutualistic relationships, remains understudied. This research reveals that non‐pollinating fig wasps (NPFWs) have “aggressive,” expansion‐driven TE landscapes with active insertions, contrasting with the stable, “dormant” TE profiles in pollinators.

Pest categorisation of Eulecanium excrescens

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessments of Acer spp., Malus spp. and Prunus spp. plants for planting from the United Kingdom (UK), in which Eulecanium excrescens (Ferris) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of E ...

First record of Pteromalus varians (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitizing on Tischeria ekebladella (Lepidoptera: Tischeriidae) in Hungary [PDF]

, 2014
Pteromalus varians (Spinola, 1808) is fi rstly recorded from Quercus leaves, mined by the trumpet leafminer moth Tischeria ekebladella (Bjerkander, 1795) in forests near Budapest, Hungary. A total of 392 parasitoids were reared in laboratory conditions,

Role of spontaneous plants as a reservoir of alternative hosts for Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) and Citrostichus phyllocnistoides (Narayanan) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) in citrus groves [PDF]

, 2006
The role spontaneous plants could eventually play towards populations of two exotic parasitoids, Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) and Citrostichus phyllocnistoides (Narayanan), was investigated in five Sicilian citrus groves.

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.
