Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 To gain insight into wasp factors that might be involved in the initial induction of galls on woody plants, we performed high throughput (454) transcriptome analysis of ovaries and venom glands of two cynipid gall wasps, Biorhiza pallida and Diplolepis ...

Vertical stratification of selected Hymenoptera in a remnant forest of the Po Plain (Italy, Lombardy) (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae, Crabronidae, Sphecidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Communities of the canopy of temperate forests are still relatively unexplored. Furthermore, very little is known on how vertical stratification for some insect groups is related to biological strategies.

PLoS ONE, 2013 Pesticide risk assessments are usually based on short-term acute toxicity tests, while longer-term population dynamic related traits, critical to the success of biological control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, are often overlooked.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1302-1318, February 2026.This study compares the economic performance of exclusion netting and organic pesticides for managing spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). Results highlight the trade‐offs in revenue and cost, providing insights into sustainable pest management strategies that balance economic viability and effectiveness for small fruit growers.

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Biological control of taro scarab beetle (Papuanauninodis Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) instars via Scoliid and Voria Tachinidae parasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 2014 Scoliid and Voria Tachinidae parasitoid wasps are shown to be able to control the population of the Taro Scarab beetle (Papuanauninodis, Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) larvae using a newly created continuous-time simulation model based on non-linear ordinary ...

The Transcriptomic Basis of Oviposition Behaviour in the Parasitoid Wasp Nasonia vitripennis
PLoS ONE, 2013 Linking behavioural phenotypes to their underlying genotypes is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms that underpin behaviour and for understanding the origins and maintenance of genetic variation in behaviour.

RNA Viruses in Parasitoid Wasps
, 2012 This chapter describes the different RNA viruses that have been detected at least once in parasitoid wasps. It could be wondered whether the other families of parasitoids are really absent, or if this is due to the fact that inadequate techniques were used to detect viruses.

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 48-55, February 2026.Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.
