Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]
Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time
Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.

Parasitismo de huevos de Piezodorus guildinii y Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) en soja, alfalfa y trébol rojo [PDF]
Piezodorus guildinii Westwood and Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are important soybean pests. P. guildinii causes more injury and is less susceptible to insecticides compared to N. viridula. N.

Rainforest transformation to monoculture plantations reduced species richness and abundance of parasitoid wasps. The study also highlighted the differences in community composition of parasitoid between forest and plantations. Experimental enrichment with flowering vegetation increased species richness of parasitoid wasps by 18% and abundance by 127 ...

Calixomeria, a new genus of Sceliotrachelinae (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae) from Australia [PDF]
Calixomerialasalleigen. n. et sp. n. is described as a new genus and species of Sceliotrachelinae. Calixomeria most closely resembles genera of the Aphanomerus-cluster but possesses several characters that readily separate it from other sceliotracheline genera.

Telenomus remus Nixon egg parasitization of three species of Spodoptera under different temperatures. [PDF]
Telenomus remus Nixon is a promising biocontrol agent as an egg parasitoid of Spodoptera spp., but the lack of information on the host?parasitoid interactions in this system precludes its applied use in agriculture.

Reproductive ecology and egg parasitism of the Samoan swallowtail butterfly
Abstract We investigated the reproductive ecology and effects of egg parasitism on the Samoan swallowtail butterfly (Papilio godeffroyi), which survives only on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, after having disappeared from the much larger islands of Upolu and Savai‘i in independent Samoa.
