Variation in a Darwin Wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Community along an Elevation Gradient in a Tropical Biodiversity Hotspot: Implications for Ecology and Conservation [PDF]

Insects, 2023
Understanding how biodiversity varies from place to place is a fundamental goal of ecology and an important tool for halting biodiversity loss. Parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera) are a diverse and functionally important animal group, but spatial variation in ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Scambus vesicarius Ratzeburg (Hymenoptera: ichneumonidae: pimplinae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
The genomic-level characteristics play a pivotal role as genetic assets for the identification of species and phylogenetic analysis. Here, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome of Scambus vesicarius (Ratzeburg), which was first ...

Illustrating phylogenetic placement of fossils using RoguePlots: An example from ichneumonid parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) and an extensive morphological matrix. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
The fossil record constitutes the primary source of information about the evolutionary history of extant and extinct groups, and many analyses of macroevolution rely on fossils that are accurately placed within phylogenies.
