First record of Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841) from Korea (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea : Figitidae: Charipinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The first record of Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Charipinae) from Korea is given herein, being the second record of this species from the continental Eastern Palaearctic.

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Life‐history traits of the Whiting polyploid line of the parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 167, Issue 7, Page 655-669, July 2019., 2019
Polyploidy occurs fairly frequently in parasitoid wasps, a common class of biocontrol agents. Polyploidy is detrimental in ‘complementary sex determination’ (CSD) species because of the sterile diploid male vortex. Less is known about its impact on non‐CSD species.

Review of Afrotropical Figitinae (Figitidae, Cynipoidea, Hymenoptera) with the first records of Neralsia and Lonchidia for the region

open access: yesZooKeys, 2014
The cynipoid subfamily Figitinae is poorly represented in the Afrotropical region with two genera (Figites Latreille and Xyalophora Kieffer) and six species currently known. Here we record an additional two genera (Neralsia Cameron and Lonchidia Thomson)

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

open access: yesSystematic 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 ...

Evolution of behavioural and cellular defences against parasitoid wasps in the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1016-1029, May 2016., 2016
Abstract It may be intuitive to predict that host immune systems will evolve to counter a broad range of potential challenges through simultaneous investment in multiple defences. However, this would require diversion of resources from other traits, such as growth, survival and fecundity. Therefore, ecological immunology theory predicts that hosts will

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-31, January 2025.
Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.

Revision of the Barbotin's Charipinae collection with description of a new Alloxysta species (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Barbotin's Charipinae collection has been revised and all the specimens have been identified to species level. A total of 1011 specimens have been studied and grouped in 24 species: Alloxysta arcuata, A. basimacula, A. brachycera, A.

The Chalcidoidea bush of life: evolutionary history of a massive radiation of minute wasps

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 34-63, February 2024.
Abstract Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting. Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of a hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant to phylogenetic resolution.

Phylogenomic analysis of protein‐coding genes resolves complex gall wasp relationships

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 110-137, January 2024.
We present the first phylogenomic analysis of gall wasp relationships (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) based on protein‐coding sequence data from genome and transcriptome assemblies. Our results confirm previous analyses of ultra‐conserved elements, suggesting that the family falls into three lineages, recognized here as separate families: Cynipidae (s. str.),
