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 ...

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

Journal 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

Systematic 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.

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

Cladistics, 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

Systematic 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.),

Catalog of Endophytic Insects Associated with Rosinweeds (Silphium L., Heliantheae, Asteraceae) in North America

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
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
