Ovipositor characteristics differ between two parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Figitidae) of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera, Drosophilidae) in an adventive landscape [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Different ovipositor characteristics among parasitoid species that share similar niches are associated with different wasp life histories and selective pressures.

Limited thermal plasticity and geographical divergence in the ovipositor of Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Phenotypic plasticity has been repeatedly suggested to facilitate adaptation to new environmental conditions, as in invasions. Here, we investigate this possibility by focusing on the worldwide invasion of Drosophila suzukii: an invasive species that has

Integrative taxonomy based on morphometric and molecular data supports recognition of the three cryptic species within the Encyrtus sasakii complex (Hymenoptera, Encyrtidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2022 Morphometrics has established itself as one of the most powerful tools for species delimitation, particularly for morphologically-conserved groups of insects.

Evolution of reproductive strategies in dictyopteran insects—clues from ovipositor morphology of extinct roachoids [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018 Dictyoptera, which comprises cockroaches, termites and mantids, is a quite successful group of insects in evolutionary terms with a long fossil record—roachoid insects were already abundant 315 million years ago in the Carboniferous forests.

eLife, 2020 Antennae are often considered to be the nostrils of insects. Here, we sequenced the transcriptome of the pheromone gland-ovipositor complex of Helicoverpa assulta and discovered that an odorant receptor (OR) gene, HassOR31, had much higher expression in ...

Doryctopambolus nunes & Zaldívar-Riverón (Braconidae), a new Neotropical doryctine wasp genus with propodeal spines [PDF]
, 2012 The new Neotropical doryctine genus Doryctopambolus gen. n. is erected to contain D. pilcomayensis (van Achterberg & Braet, 2004), comb. n., which was previously placed within Pambolus (Pambolinae), as well as three new species, D. clebschi sp.

Nature's Swiss Army knives: ovipositor structure mirrors ecology in a multitrophic fig wasp community. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Resource partitioning is facilitated by adaptations along niche dimensions that range from morphology to behaviour. The exploitation of hidden resources may require specially adapted morphological or sensory tools for resource location and utilisation ...
