Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In the last decade, the influence of microbial symbionts on ecological and physiological traits of their hosts has been increasingly recognized. However, most of these effects have been revealed under laboratory conditions, which oversimplifies the ...

Hymenopteran parasitoids reared from European gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalWe report the results of investigations 2010 through 2023 of hymenopteran parasitoids associated with gall midges in Europe. A total of 242 collections of gall midges were made, from each of which one to several parasitoid species emerged, resulting in ...

Competitive interactions between parasitoids provide new insight into host suppression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the dynamics of potential inter- and intraspecific competition in parasitoid communities is crucial in the screening of efficient parasitoid species and for utilization of the best parasitoid species combinations.

Aphid parasitism alters induced plant responses allowing a hyperparasitoid to locate its hidden parasitoid host. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Abstract Insect natural enemies, encompassing predators and parasitoids, serve as vital regulators of pest populations and architects of ecosystem balance. Most studies on natural enemies have focused on understanding the mechanisms by which these insects eliminate pests after an attack.

Diversity of parasitoid wasps in conventional and organic guarana (Paullinia cupana var. sorbilis) cultivation areas in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2019 We surveyed parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) in two guarana plantations in the central Brazilian Amazon (one conventionally, and one organically managed), as well as in adjacent forest and edge areas between crop and forest.
