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.

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.),

Endophytic insects, including gall insects and leaf miners, are prominent in both natural and agricultural plant communities. We catalog the endophytic insect fauna in North America that are known to associate with rosinweeds (Silphium L., Heliantheae, Asteraceae). We provide details on host plant species, brief descriptions of insect associations, and

The cynipoid wasp Gronotoma micromorpha (Perkins) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) is a parasitoid of the leaf miner Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Diptera: Agromyzidae). The effects of adult age and body size on egg maturation in G.
