Psyche: A 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).

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1088-1113, October 2021., 2021 We use a combination of morphological, multi‐locus Sanger sequencing, and whole‐genome sequences to infer the phylogeny of the parasitoid wasp superfamily Platygastroidea. The ancestral hosts of platygastroids were the eggs of Orthoptera. Numerous subsequent host shifts have led to the use of other hosts from an additional eight insect orders and ...

Diversity of Species and Behavior of Hymenopteran Parasitoids of Ants: A Review
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Reports of hymenopterans associated with ants involve more than 500 species, but only a fraction unambiguously pertain to actual parasitoids. In this paper, we attempt to provide an overview of both the diversity of these parasitoid wasps and the diversity of the types of interactions they have formed with their ant hosts.

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.
