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 ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]

, 2019
Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.

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 ...

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 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 ...

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.

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

Key to Nearctic species of Trissolcus Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae), natural enemies of native and invasive stink bugs (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae)

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2015
Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) and T. cultratus (Mayr), comb. rev. are under study as classical biological agents to control the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) in North America.

Foraging behaviour of an egg parasitoid exploiting plant volatiles induced by pentatomids: the role of adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Several phases of herbivorous insect attack including feeding and oviposition are known to induce plant defenses. Plants emit volatiles induced by herbivores to recruit insect parasitoids as an indirect defense strategy.
