Data from: Parasitism overrides herbivore identity allowing hyperparasitoids to locate their parasitoid host by using herbivore-induced plant volatiles

, 2015
Foraging success of predators profoundly depends on reliable and detectable cues indicating the presence of their often inconspicuous prey. Carnivorous insects rely on chemical cues to optimize foraging efficiency. Hyperparasitoids that lay their eggs in

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Eurytoma Illiger (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): Genus delimitation, species‐group assessment and recurrent host‐use transitions

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
Mitogenomes from 166 Eurytomidae confirm Eurytoma is polyphyletic; 10 species groups are recovered in Eurytoma s.s., and several lineages are reassigned to other genera or newly delimited clades. Conservative head and mesosoma traits, especially the postgenal depression and ventral shelf, track mitogenomic clades closely, supporting their diagnostic ...

Intrinsic competition between primary hyperparasitoids of the solitary endoparasitoid Cotesia rubecula

, 2016
1. In nature, competitive interactions occur when different species exploit similar niches. Parasitic wasps (parasitoids) often have narrow host ranges and need to cope with competitors that use the same host species for development of their offspring ...

The Effect of Differing Levels of Intrasexual and Intersexual Selection on Survival and Reproduction Under a Heatwave

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Precopulatory mating behaviour, are important for fitness and can be disrupted by heatwave's. Here we assess how differing levels of intrasexual and intrasexual selection in precopulatory mating behaviours impacts fitness responses to heatwaves. We find that the likelihood of having a brood is impacted by differences in intrasexual and intersexual ...

Benefits of remating of a hyperparasitoid acting as a biocontrol agent

Biological Control
Encarsia sophia is the dominant parasitoid of invasive whitefly pest such as Bemisia tabaci. This heteronomous hyperparasitoid species lays fertilised diploid eggs in whitefly nymphs, which serve as primary hosts. Larvae develop as female progeny by consuming whitefly hosts, providing direct biocontrol benefits.

Host location by hyperparasitoids: an ecogenomic approach

, 2015
It is fascinating that our ecological systems are structured by both direct and indirect species interactions. In terrestrial ecosystems, plants interact with many species of insects that include both harmful herbivores and beneficial natural enemies of ...

Aphids (Homoptera, Aphidodea) inhabiting the trees Crataegus x media Bechst. in the urban green area. Part II. Domination and frequency of aphids, their enemies and the damage caused by aphids

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013
The studies were conducted in Lublin in the years 1999-2001 in two sites (street and park ones) on the trees Crataegus x inedia Bechst. The purpose was to determine the domination and frequency of particular aphid species, their effect on the decorative
