Pest categorisation of the Gonipterus scutellatus species complex. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2018 Abstract The Panel on Plant health performed a pest categorisation of the Australian Eucalyptus snout‐beetle Gonipterus scutellatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), for the EU. G. scutellatus should be referred as the G. scutellatus species complex because it includes several cryptic species.

Abundance, not diversity, of host beetle communities determines abundance and diversity of parasitoids in deadwood. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We investigated saproxylic beetles and parasitoid Hymenoptera reared from experimentally felled trees. We show that host diversity must not mandatory promote parasitoid diversity (pictures were used after the Creative Commons license (CC BY‐SA‐2.0 and CC BY‐3.0); copyright by U.

Traits across trophic levels interact to influence parasitoid establishment in biological control releases. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Understanding how communities assemble is a major question in ecology. There has been little focus on how species interactions across trophic levels may influence the establishment of a species in a new community. We analyzed a dataset of deliberate introductions of parasitoids as biological control agents to fill this gap.

The origins of species richness in the Hymenoptera: insights from a family-level supertree [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background The order Hymenoptera (bees, ants, wasps, sawflies) contains about eight percent of all described species, but no analytical studies have addressed the origins of this richness at family-level or above.

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

Maximizing Identification Precision of Hymenoptera and Brachycera (Diptera) With a Non-Destructive DNA Metabarcoding Approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDNA metabarcoding is utilized for efficient bulk sample assessment, yet limited research addresses disparities in species identification methods. We compared diverse clustering and filtering techniques in non‐destructive metabarcoding approach to morphological identification of Brachycera and Hymenoptera.
