Researchers at the University of Rhode Island are studying parasitoid wasps as a potential biological control for the ...

New calculations suggest that the insect species inhabiting our planet may be double or triple previous estimates.

A research group studying the diversity of parasitoid insects around the world. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are one of the most species rich animal taxa on Earth, but their tropical diversity is ...

The diversity and ecology of African parasitoid wasps was studied for over a year during a project run by the Biodiversity Unit of the University of Turku in Finland. Parasitoid wasps are one of the ...

Insect parasitoids play a central role in shaping terrestrial ecosystems through complex interactions with their hosts and with one another. These wasps or flies deposit eggs within or upon insect ...

Scientists at the Biodiversity Unit of the University of Turku in Finland have studied the diversity of tropical parasitoid wasps for years. Parasitoid wasps are among the most species rich animal ...

Parasitoid insects, unlike parasites, kill their hosts by consuming them during their larval stage. Most parasitoids are small wasps and flies, and they infect a wide range of insects and arachnids.

After much discussion, the scientific community settled on an estimate of around six million species. This conservative figure — of which only about 1.2 million have been described, meaning formally ...

The diversity and ecology of African parasitoid wasps was studied for over a year during a project run by the Biodiversity Unit of the University of Turku in Finland. Parasitoid wasps are one of the ...

Parasitoid wasps are one of the animal groups that are the most rich in species. However, the tropical species are still very poorly known. Understanding the diversity of parasitoid wasps inhabiting ...
