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
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).

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 ...

Proterosceliopsidae: A new family of Platygastroidea from Cretaceous amber [PDF]
Proterosceliopsis was erected by Ortega-Blanco et al. (2014) in their treatment of scelionid genera in Cretaceous amber from Álava, Spain. The generic description appears to have been based on specimens in which only the dorsal aspects of the mesosoma ...
