Abstract The release of biological control agents has been an important means of controlling invasive species for over 150 years. While these releases have led to the sustainable control of over 250 invasive pest and weed species worldwide, a minority have caused environmental harm.

Shifts in host–parasitoid networks across community garden management and urban landscape gradients
Abstract Biological pest control relies on interactions between herbivores and their natural enemies. Maintaining this ecosystem service requires considering herbivore and natural enemy interactions and their response to anthropogenic change at multiple scales. In this study, we used ecological networks to quantify the network structure of interactions

Responses of the hyper‐diverse community of canopy‐dwelling Hymenoptera to oak decline
Hymenoptera dwelling in oak canopies are hyper‐diverse. Forest decline reshapes the community of canopy‐dwelling Hymenoptera, and trophic and nesting guilds have contrasting responses to decline. Species relying on ground‐related resources (floral responses and soil microhabitats) are promoted by decline‐induced canopy openness. Abstract Forest decline

New teratological cases in Platygastridae and Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera)
Very few cases of teratological specimens, i.e. specimens displaying morphological abnormalities, have been cited among Platygastridae and Pteromalidae. From the Platygastridae we present 5 cases of symphysocery [A8-A9 in Metaclisis sp.; A3-A5 and A7-A9 in Sceliomorpha sp.; A5-A6 in Scelio sp.
