Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

Mitochondrial genome of Sitona callosus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and phylogenetic analysis within Entiminae

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
