New family-level characters for Platygastroidea [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021
Platygastridae (Hymenoptera) is a diverse family of parasitoid wasps for which few studies of internal morphology have been conducted. The monophyly of the group is undisputed based on recently published molecular data, but based on morphology, the ...

Stink bug egg parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) associated with pistachio in Iran and description of a new species: Trissolcus darreh Talamas [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021
Surveys for egg-parasitoid wasps were conducted in Rafsanjan, Iran, on two species of Pentatomidae (Hemiptera) found in pistachio orchards, Acrosternum arabicum Wagner and Brachynema signatum Jakovlev.

Foveapeltis gen. nov., an unusual cleroid genus with large hypomeral cavities from mid-Cretaceous amber (Coleoptera: Cleroidea). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Deciphering 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.

Microhymenoptera in roadside verges and the potential of arthropod‐friendly mowing for their preservation

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

Host–enemy interactions provide limited biotic resistance for a range‐expanding species via reduced apparent competition

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

Absence of complementary sex determination in two Leptopilina species (Figitidae, Hymenoptera) and a reconsideration of its incompatibility with endosymbiont‐induced thelytoky

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 ...

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 ...

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).
