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.

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 ...

Venom Proteins from Parasitoid Wasps and Their Biological Functions
Toxins, 2015 Parasitoid wasps are valuable biological control agents that suppress their host populations. Factors introduced by the female wasp at parasitization play significant roles in facilitating successful development of the parasitoid larva either inside ...
