Diversity of Species and Behavior of Hymenopteran Parasitoids of Ants: A Review by Jean-Paul Lachaud, Gabriela Pérez-Lachaud

“…Reports of hymenopterans associated with ants involve more than 500 species, but only a fraction unambiguously pertain to actual parasitoids. …”

Homopteran Attendance by Wasps and Ants: The Stochastic Nature of Interactions by Deborah K. Letourneau, Jae C. Choe

“…This account is unique in the literature on Hymenoptera-Homoptera associations because it (1) addresses observable interference between hymenopteran attendants, (2) reports behavioral preference by homopterans for certain hymenopreran attendants, and (3) describes an interaction between a polistine wasp and an aetalionid planthopper. …”

THE INFLUENCE OF METHOMYL AND OPIOIDS ON THE DECOMPOSITION OF RABBIT CARCASSES AND INSECT SUCCESSION by A. H. Metab, Q. H. Ahmed

“…Five species of dipterans have been recorded as belonging to four families, namely Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae, and Ulididae, and six species of coleopterans belong to five families, that is Histeridae, Dermestidae, Cleridae, Staphylinidae, and Nitidulidae. Moreover, six hymenopteran species belonging to three families were recorded, i.e., Pteromalidae, Chalcididae, and Formicidae. …”

Susceptibility of European Agrilus beetle species to the biocontrol agents of Emerald Ash Borer in the laboratory by Katy Reed, Freya Cole, Neil Audsley, Anastasia Uglow, Rachel Down, Kerry Barnard, Daegan Inward

“…To allow a rapid response when the beetle is detected, slow its spread and protect trees as part of a wider integrated pest management programme, pre-emptive biological control strategies that are suitable for Great Britain and the rest of Europe must urgently be developed. Three classical hymenopteran biological control agents have been mass-reared and released within North America to control EAB: the egg parasitoid Oobius agrili Zhang and Huang (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), and the larval parasitoids Tetrastichus planipennisi and Spathius galinae Belokobylskij & Strazanac (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). …”

Maximizing Identification Precision of Hymenoptera and Brachycera (Diptera) With a Non‐Destructive DNA Metabarcoding Approach by Isabel C. Kilian, Ameli Kirse, Ralph S. Peters, Sarah J. Bourlat, Vera G. Fonseca, Wolfgang J. Wägele, Andrée Hamm, Ximo Mengual

“…Depending on the selected approach, DNA metabarcoding results strongly varied in terms of detected molecular units blasted to brachyceran and hymenopteran species. For Brachycera, ASVs clustered into OTUs followed by LULU using a 96% minimum match (OTU96) inferred the number of molecular units closest to the number of morphologically identified species. …”

The Effects of Disturbance on Plant–Pollinator Interactions in the Native Forests of an Oceanic Island (Terceira, Azores) by Mário Boieiro, Mariana Ferreira, Ana Ceia-Hasse, Fabiana Esposito, Renata Santos, Gabor Pozsgai, Paulo A. V. Borges, Carla Rego

“…Dipterans, particularly hoverflies, emerged as the primary flower visitors, while introduced hymenopterans (<i>Apis mellifera</i> and <i>Bombus terrestris</i>) and native beetles were locally important, respectively, in disturbed and preserved sites. …”

The Effect of Decreasing Temperature on Arthropod Diversity and Abundance in Horse Dung Decomposition Communities of Southeastern Massachusetts by Patrick Kearns, Robert D. Stevenson

“…We found a highly diverse group of arthropods dominated by Coleoptera (n=3696) and Diptera (n=3791) and noted the absence of hymenopterans, a group that was dominant in previous studies on these communities. …”

Environmental influence and species occurrence of yellowjacket drones in an invaded area by Agustina P. Porrino, Maité Masciocchi, Andrés S. Martínez

“…Abstract During the mating season, reproductive individuals of numerous insect species gather in rendezvous areas, which increases mating opportunities. Male hymenopterans often have to move considerable distances during a particular season, searching or waiting for receptive females. …”

Mimosa diplotricha (Fabaceae) Recruits Native Pollinators, But Does it Matter? by I.N. Egbon, O.P. Nzie, J. Rotimi

“…Thirteen insect taxa were encountered from a total of 1548 individuals in three Orders, albeit of low diversity in which the majority of floral visitors (or pollinators) were hymenopterans: the main being Chalicodoma species, followed by Xylocopa species, X. senior, and Apis mellifera. …”

Pollinator species richness and abundance across diverse habitat-types on Terceira Island (Azores, Portugal) by Mário Boieiro, Raúl Oliveira, Ricardo Costa, Paulo Borges

“…We identified 2547 pollinators from 40 taxa, mostly dipterans and hymenopterans and recorded novel information on species distribution and ecological associations. …”
