Comparing and contrasting development and reproductive strategies in the pupal hyperparasitoids Lysibia nana and Gelis agilis (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) [PDF]
, 2007 In most animals, the optimal phenotype is determined by trade-offs in life-history traits. Here, I compare development and reproductive strategies in two species of solitary secondary hyperparasitoids, Lysibia nana and Gelis agilis, attacking pre-pupae ...

Take-off mechanisms in parasitoid wasps [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017 High speed video analyses of the natural behaviour of parasitoid wasps revealed three strategies used to launch themselves into the air. Which strategy is the most energy efficient? In Pteromalus puparum, 92% of take-offs by were propelled entirely by movements of the middle and hind legs which were depressed at their coxo-trochanteral and extended at ...

In silico prediction of neuropeptides in Hymenoptera parasitoid wasps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Parasitoid wasps of the order Hymenoptera, the most diverse groups of animals, are important natural enemies of arthropod hosts in natural ecosystems and can be used in biological control.

Annotation Parasitoid Wasp Venom Transcripts
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Parasitoid wasps infect other arthropod species to complete their life cycle by laying their eggs on the surface or body cavity of their host. Many species inject a venom that alters host physiology to allow eggs to complete their development.

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.

No Intersexual Differences in Host Size and Species Usage in \u3ci\u3eSpalangia Endius\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Spalangia endius were collected from fly pupae, primarily house fly and stable fly, from a poultry house in Indiana. Male and female wasps did not differ within and across host species in host size usage.
