Generic relationships within the parasitoid wasp subfamily Braconinae are assessed based
on a molecular phylogenetic analysis of four gene fragments: mitochondrial cytochrome c …

Besides recruitment and dispersal, fruits are key resources for the maintenance of insect
communities. This study is focused on the insects inhabiting the fruits of 4 wild Lauraceae …

Gall formation is a specialised form of phytophagy that consists of abnormal growth of host
plant tissue induced by other organisms, principally insects and mites. In the mainly …

Phytophagy has promoted species diversification in many insect groups, including
Hymenoptera, one of the most diverse animal orders on Earth. In the predominantly …

 Abstract Two new genera and one new species of the Braconinae tribe Adeshini are
described and illustrated: Crenuladesha Ranjith & Quicke, gen. nov., type species …

The vast majority of braconid wasps are parasitoids of other insects. Although a few cases of
pure phytophagy (primary gall production and seed predation) are known, no previous …

The huge and diverse family Braconidae is described and various specific morphological
terms used in their description are illustrated. A simplified identification key to most of the …

This study aimed to inventory the herbivore insects associated with Enterolobium
contortisiliquum (Vell.) Morong (Fabaceae) fruits and seeds and their primary and secondary …

A new genus of Braconinae, Pseudorhadinobracon Ranjith & van Achterberg, is described
based on the species (P. luteus (Szpligeti) gen. et. comb. nov.) earlier classified under the …

Many tropical organisms have narrow altitudinal ranges and therefore may be especially
vulnerable to climate change. Parasitoid wasps are no exception, so baseline knowledge …
