Foveapeltis gen. nov., an unusual cleroid genus with large hypomeral cavities from mid-Cretaceous amber (Coleoptera: Cleroidea). [PDF]
Ecol EvolDeciphering the systematic positions of Mesozoic trogossitid‐like beetles is challenging. Here, we describe and illustrate a new trogossitid‐like lineage from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Foveapeltis rutai gen. et sp. nov. Foveapeltis stands out within the Cleroidea due to the presence of a significant large cavity on each hypomeron.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 10, Page 1035-1044, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The worldwide decline of insects is one of the major challenges for humankind. One of its main drivers is intensive farming, which reduces habitats and food resources for insect populations and causes direct mortality by pesticides. In addition, mowing of grassland poses another threat to insects, especially when it is done frequently, such as

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1355-1370, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim As species' ranges shift poleward in response to anthropogenic change, they may lose antagonistic interactions if they move into less diverse communities, fail to interact with novel populations or species effectively, or if ancestral interacting populations or species fail to shift synchronously. We leveraged a poleward range expansion in

A maximalist approach to the systematics of a biological control agent: Gryon aetherium Talamas, sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021 A morphological and molecular analysis of Gryon Haliday (Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) was conducted to provide a taxonomic and phylogenetic context for a species under evaluation as a biological control agent of Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera ...

Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 900-914, June 2022., 2022 Under complementary sex determination (CSD), if the fertilized eggs are homozygous, they develop into diploid males. Forms of thelytoky induced by endosymbiont lead to genome homozygosity as well. By presenting our results in two cynipid wasp species Leptopilina heterotoma and Leptopilina clavipes, we discuss the presumed incompatibility between CSD ...

DiversityScanner: Robotic handling of small invertebrates with machine learning methods
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 1626-1638, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Invertebrate biodiversity remains poorly understood although it comprises much of the terrestrial animal biomass, most species and supplies many ecosystem services. The main obstacle is specimen‐rich samples obtained with quantitative sampling techniques (e.g., Malaise trapping).

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1088-1113, October 2021., 2021 We use a combination of morphological, multi‐locus Sanger sequencing, and whole‐genome sequences to infer the phylogeny of the parasitoid wasp superfamily Platygastroidea. The ancestral hosts of platygastroids were the eggs of Orthoptera. Numerous subsequent host shifts have led to the use of other hosts from an additional eight insect orders and ...

World Species of the Genus Chromoteleia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae, Scelioninae) [PDF]
, 2018 The genus Chromoteleia was originally described by William H. Ashmead (1893), based on the colorful type species Chromoteleia semicyanea from the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent. Currently, six species have been recorded from the New World and a single
