We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships within the diverse parasitoid fly family
Tachinidae using four nuclear loci (7800 bp) and including an exceptionally large sample of …

Landscapes are becoming increasingly urbanized, causing loss and fragmentation of
natural habitats, with potentially negative effects on biodiversity. Insects are among the …

The oestroid family T achinidae represents one of the most diverse lineages of insect
parasitoids. Despite their broad distribution, diversity and important role as biological control …

Elevational gradients are characterized by strong environmental changes within small
geographical distances, providing important insights on the response of biological …

Insect parasitoids may be an exception to the typical biogeographic pattern of increasing
species richness at lower latitudes exhibited by most taxa. Evidence for this 'anomalous' …

This paper is aimed to summarize the information available on the parasitoid complex of the
European Grapevine Moth (EGVM), Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller …

A phylogenetic analysis of selected oestroid taxa based on 66 morphological traits and
sequences from three nuclear protein‐coding genes (CAD, MAC, MCS) resolved the …

The Tachinidae of the Afrotropical Region are catalogued and seven genera and eight
species are newly described. There are 237 genera and 1126 species recognized, of which …

The magnitude of the benefits derived from organic farming within contrasting managed
landscapes remains unclear and, in particular, the potential scale‐dependent response of …

Abstract Phasiinae (Diptera: Tachinidae) are endoparasitoid flies that attack Heteroptera,
including a multitude of agricultural pests. A phylogenetically informed classification of …
