recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology"

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.70123

Abstract: Most mutualisms are parasitized by third-party species that inflict costs to the mutualists. How such parasites affect mechanisms that help maintain mutualism stability is poorly understood, even in well-studied systems. Angiosperm plants tend to invest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11653

Abstract: Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaf158

Abstract: Transposable elements (TEs), despite generally being considered deleterious, represent a substantial portion of most eukaryotic genomes. Specific genomic regions, such as telomeres and pericentromeres, are often densely populated with TEs. In these regions, which tend… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Insect Conservation and Diversity"

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12282

Abstract: Revealing the host specificity of the predators/parasitoids of invasive species is a prerequisite when assessing the suitability of biocontrol agents, while the host ranges of top predators are likely to vary among communities comprising different… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13050407

Abstract: Simple Summary Lipases are a large family of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. Lipids play diverse roles in insect growth and responses to environmental stimuli. Fig wasps are a polyphyletic assemblage of Chalcidoidea that develop… read more here.
