The unknown followers: Discovery of a new species of Sycobia Walker (Hymenoptera: Epichrysomallinae) associated with Ficus benjamina L. (Moraceae) in the Neotropical region [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hymenoptera Research, 2018
Biotic invasion in mutualistic communities is of particular interest due to the possible establishment of new relationships with native species. Ficus species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, and they host specific communities of chalcid wasps

Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 908-921, August 2026.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Metatranscriptome Analysis of Fig Flowers Provides Insights into Potential Mechanisms for Mutualism Stability and Gall Induction. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
A striking property of the mutualism between figs and their pollinating wasps is that wasps consistently oviposit in the inner flowers of the fig syconium, which develop into galls that house developing larvae.

Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.

figsimR: An R Package for Simulating Fig–Wasp Community Dynamics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Fig–fig wasp systems represent a widely applicable but underutilized framework for community assembly research, yet their multi‐trophic structure and species interactions substantially increase the complexity of community simulation. We present figsimR, an open‐source, modular R package that implements fig wasp community simulation via a ...

Invasive chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), its native parasitoid community and association with oak gall wasps in Slovenia

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
The Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW), Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), is a global pest of chestnut trees. This pest was first recorded in Slovenia in 2005.

Chromosomes of Belonocnema treatae Mayr, 1881 (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae)

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2015
Chromosomes of the asexual and sexual generation of the gall wasp Belonocnema treatae Mayr, 1881 (Cynipidae) were analyzed. Females of both generations have 2n = 20, whereas males of the sexual generation have n = 10.

What No Research Means: The Problematic of Time and Possibilities for Expansiveness in Interpretive Literacy Research

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 3, July/August/September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines what becomes possible for interpretive literacy research when time is treated not as a neutral backdrop but as a central problematic. We argue that research does not merely trace temporal sequences; it actively creates temporalities that shape what becomes sensible, thinkable, and sayable within literacy studies.

Redescritpion of Mononeuron duguetiae Fischer (Braconidae, Doryctinae), a gall associated species on Duguetia furfuracea (St. Hil.) (Annonaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Hymenoptera Research, 2012
We redescribe the poorly known, gall associated doryctine wasp Mononeuron duguetiae Fischer (Braconidae) based on museum and recently collected material.
