Gasteruption is an easily recognized genus of wasps whose larvae are predator-inquilines
in the nests of cavity-nesting solitary bees (Apidae, Colletidae, Halictidae and …

The large and diverse P450 (CYP) superfamily encodes enzymes with a wide spectrum of
monooxygenase and related activities. Insect P450 enzymes of the CYP4G subfamily are …

The evolution of convergent phenotypes is of major interest in biology because of their
omnipresence and ability to inform the study of evolutionary novelty and constraint …

Termites sense tiny substrate-borne vibrations through subgenual organs (SGOs) located
within their legs' tibiae. Little is known about the SGOs' structure and physical properties. We …

For over a century, the metapleural gland, an exocrine gland above the hind coxa, has been
thought to be a unique structure for ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), and regarded as a …

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 …

Although ants are conceived of as paragons of social complexity, it may be their locomotory
capacity that truly sets them apart from other Hymenoptera. Based on our comparative …

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Gasteruption jaculator (parasitoid
wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Gasteruptiidae). The genome sequence is 275.6 …

A particularly conspicuous morphological feature in chalcidoid wasps are strikingly modified
legs present in both males and females. It evolved convergently multiple times on either fore …
