Diapriinae Wasps (Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea: Diapriidae) Associated with Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Argentina [PDF]
Psyche: Journal of Entomology, 2013 We provide an overview of diapriid wasps associated with ants in Argentina and the diversity of interactions they have developed with their hosts. As a result, we report 16 species of nine genera of Diapriinae, two new geographic distributions, three new

The Drosophila-parasitizing wasp Leptopilina heterotoma: A comprehensive model system in ecology and evolution. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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.

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

DiversityScanner: Robotic handling of small invertebrates with machine learning methods
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 1626-1638, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Invertebrate biodiversity remains poorly understood although it comprises much of the terrestrial animal biomass, most species and supplies many ecosystem services. The main obstacle is specimen‐rich samples obtained with quantitative sampling techniques (e.g., Malaise trapping).
