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

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, June 2026.The parasitic behaviour of Amobia distorta and the defensive behaviour of its hosts, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum (native species) and A. gibbifrons (probably non‐native), were observed. Abstract Two Anterhynchium species, A. flavomarginatum and A. gibbifrons, are solitary tube‐renting eumenine wasps that occur sympatrically in Japan.

Correlation between Aphids, Aphidiinae and Hyperparasitoids in Different Habitats [PDF]
, 2000 Aphids are one of the major pests of economical crops in China. Field surveys showed that Macrosiphum avence, Rhopalosiphum padi, Schizaphis graminum, Myzus persicae, Aphis glycines and Lipaphis erysimi are the main aphid species found in agricultural ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 598-620, May 2026.In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Species composition and seasonal dynamics of aphid parasitoids and hyperparasitoids in wheat fields in northern China [PDF]
, 2017 Parasitoids are important natural enemies of aphids in wheat fields of northern China, and interest in them has increased in recent years. However, little is known regarding parasitoids of wheat aphids, which has hindered the study and understanding of ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Global warming is driving the spread of Solidago canadensis and threatening the ecosystem and agriculture. The ecological niche competition of the native Phragmites australis and the exclusive feeding of the Argyrogramma albostriata have the potential for coordinated control.

Small-scale spatial resource partitioning in a hyperparasitoid community
Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2014 Plant-herbivore-natural enemy associations underpin ecological communities, and such interactions may go up to four (or even more) trophic levels. Here, over the course of a growing season, we compared the diversity of secondary hyperparasitoids associated with a common host, Cotesia glomerata, a specialized larval endoparasitoid of cabbage butterfly ...

Comparing and contrasting life history variation in four aphid hyperparasitoids
, 2017 1. In primary parasitoids, significant differences in life history and reproductive traits are observed among parasitoids attacking different stages of the same host species.

Differing success of defense strategies in two parasitoid wasps in protecting their pupae against a secondary hyperparasitoid [PDF]
, 2011 During their larval development, endoparasitoids are known to dispose of host resources in several different ways. Some parasitoid wasps consume most or all tissues of the host, whereas others consume a small fraction of host resources and either ensure ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 284-294, April 2026.We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...
