Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

Anatomy and evolution of the head of Dorylus helvolus (Formicidae: Dorylinae): Patterns of sex‐ and caste‐limited traits in the sausagefly and the driver ant

Journal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 11, Page 1616-1658, November 2021., 2021
The sexual dimorphism of ants is understudied, relative to the within‐sex polyphenism of females. Through comparison of male and female Dorylus, we discovered that the reproductives share specific head features to the exclusion of workers—a previously unrecorded phenomenon which suggests that there is an additional axis of morphogenetic variation in ...

Parasitoids of the invasive Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) in Bulgaria [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2022
The southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) is a polyphagous species that causes economic damages to many crops in Bulgaria. The aim of this study was to identify the parasitoid species that could suppress the populations of Nezara viridula ...

An integrated phylogenetic reassessment of the parasitoid superfamily Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupomorpha) results in a revised familial classification

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 ...

Complementary effects of pollination and biocontrol services enable ecological intensification in macadamia orchards. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract In many crops, both pollination and biocontrol determine crop yield, whereby the relative importance of the two ecosystem services can be moderated by the landscape context. However, additive and interactive effects of pollination and biocontrol in different landscape contexts are still poorly understood. We examined both ecosystem services in

Defesas induzidas por herbivoria e interações específicas no sistema tritrófico soja-percevejos-parasitoides de ovos

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2012
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de voláteis de soja, induzidos pela herbivoria dos percevejos Euschistus heros e Nezara viridula, no comportamento de busca de hospedeiros dos parasitoides Telenomus podisi e Trissolcus basalis.

Intraguild interactions between egg parasitoids: window of opportunity and fitness costs for a facultative hyperparasitoid. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
We investigated intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), as ...

Egg parasitoid wasps as natural enemies of the neotropical stink bug Dichelops melacanthus Vespas parasitoides de ovos como inimigos naturais do percevejo neotropical Dichelops melacanthus

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2010
The objective of this work was to determine the potential of five species of Scelionidae wasps - Telenomus podisi, Trissolcus basalis, Trissolcus urichi, Trissolcus teretis and Trissolcus brochymenae - as natural enemies of the neotropical stink bug ...

Intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of a true bug in semi-field and field conditions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last
