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

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)

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 ...

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
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]
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
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
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.),
