Floral diversity, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids – A laboratory approach

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2008
Adding floral resources to agro-ecosystems to improve biological control can enhance the survival, egg load, and parasitism rate of insect parasitoids. However, this may not always be the case because the herbivore may benefit from the added resource as much as, or more than the third-trophic level.

Real and potential distribution of the hyperparasitoid genus Mesochorus Gravenhorst (Ichneumonidae: Mesochorinae) in Brazil

Gayana, 2019
Mesochorus species are hyperparasitoids capable of nullifying biological control agents. This study is the first to map and predict the distribution of this genus in Brazil.

Gall Apparency Drives Parasitoid Richness in a Highly Specialised Gall‐Parasitoid Food Web From a Tropical Rainforest [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present the largest tropical tri‐trophic plant–gall–parasitoid network documented to date, assembled from lowland rainforest in Papua New Guinea. The network reveals strikingly high specialisation, in addition to gall traits such as apparency shaping parasitoid richness.

Crop diversification through strip cropping increases arthropod abundance across trophic levels and enhances biocontrol potential

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our results demonstrate that crop diversification through strip cropping increases arthropod abundances across trophic levels, supporting more functionally diverse and balanced agroecosystems that enhance biocontrol potential. Abstract Crop diversification aims to support arthropod populations and promote natural pest control processes that are ...

First records of Charipinae (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae) aphid hyperparasitoids from Malta [PDF]

, 2015
Charipinae material has been collected from different localities in Malta. Three species have been identified: Alloxysta citripes, Alloxysta pilipennis and Phaenoglyphis villosa in association with two aphids and one parasitoid species.

Aphid’s parasitoid fauna and their trophic associations in the oasis ecosystems of Zibans (Biskra, Algeria)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
A study on the fauna of aphids’ parasitoids was carried out in the oasis ecosystems of the Ziban in the region of Biskra, Algeria. Eighteen primary parasitoids species belong to 2 subfamilies; Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea, Braconidae ...

Invisible gems: Phylogenomics of Tetrastichinae jewel wasps (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) reveals cryptic taxa and rampant polyphyly Osynliga juveler: fylogenomiska analyser av glanssteklar i underfamiljen Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) avslöjar polyfyli och kryptiska taxa

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, October‐December 2026.
Most extensive phylogenetic study of Tetrastichinae to date including a third of all currently described genera, based on 3033 BUSCOs, 1820 UCEs and 12 mitochondrial protein‐coding genes. A major taxonomic revision of the group is needed, as many tetrastichine genera are either poly‐ or paraphyletic.
