Microhymenoptera in roadside verges and the potential of arthropod‐friendly mowing for their preservation

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 10, Page 1035-1044, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The worldwide decline of insects is one of the major challenges for humankind. One of its main drivers is intensive farming, which reduces habitats and food resources for insect populations and causes direct mortality by pesticides. In addition, mowing of grassland poses another threat to insects, especially when it is done frequently, such as

The Drosophila‐parasitizing wasp Leptopilina heterotoma: A comprehensive model system in ecology and evolution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The parasitoid Leptopilina heterotoma has been used as a model system in biology for more than 70 years. This review aims to provide a broad and detailed synthesis of the work performed on this system, including immunity, behavioral ecology, endosymbiotic and trophic interactions, as well as physiology.

Revisiting the hymenopteran diploid male vortex: a review of avoidance mechanisms and incidence

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 170, Issue 12, Page 1010-1031, December 2022., 2022
The Hymenoptera (bees, ants, wasps, and sawflies) have haploid males and diploid females. According to the diploid male vortex (DMV) theory, inbreeding increases sterile diploid male production and extinction risk for many species. We reviewed DMV incidence and avoidance.

Speciation in Nearctic oak gall wasps is frequently correlated with changes in host plant, host organ, or both

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 8, Page 1849-1867, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Quantifying the frequency of shifts to new host plants within diverse clades of specialist herbivorous insects is critically important to understand whether and how host shifts contribute to the origin of species. Oak gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini) comprise a tribe of ∼1000 species of phytophagous insects that induce gall ...

The ant abdomen: The skeletomuscular and soft tissue anatomy of Amblyopone australis workers (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022
The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.

Cecinothofagus Nieves-Aldrey & Liljeblad (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) is likely an endoparasitoid of the gall-maker genus Aditrochus Rübsaamen (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2022
Paraulax Kieffer and Cecinothofagus Nieves-Aldrey & Liljeblad (Cynipidae: Paraulacini) were long supposed to be gall-makers on southern beeches (Nothofagus, Nothofagaceae).

What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

First records of Charipinae (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae) aphid hyperparasitoids from Malta [PDF]

, 2015
Charipinae material has been collected from different localities in Malta. Three species have been identified: Alloxysta citripes, Alloxysta pilipennis and Phaenoglyphis villosa in association with two aphids and one parasitoid species.

The Paths of the Galls: Differences in the Ecology and Distribution of Two European Oak Gall Wasps Andricus dentimitratus and Andricus pictus

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Andricus dentimitratus (Rejtõ, 1887) and Andricus pictus (Hartig, 1856) are two European gall wasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) that induce galls on species of Quercus. The distribution and ecological niches of these species have not been studied in detail, though they are known to have a different distribution pattern in the Iberian Peninsula in Europe ...
