Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme diversity of tropical parasitoid wasps exposed by iterative integration of natural history, DNA barcoding, morphology, and collections

TL;DR: DNA barcoded 2,597 parasitoid wasps belonging to 6 microgastrine braconid genera reared from parapatric tropical dry forest, cloud forest, and rain forest in northwestern Costa Rica and combined these data with records of caterpillar hosts and morphological analyses to result in a much more fine-scaled understanding of Parasitoid diversity and host specificity.

TL;DR: Adding DNA barcoding to the inventory of the caterpillars, their food plants and parasitoids in northwestern Costa Rica has substantially improved the quality and depth of the inventory, and greatly multiplied the number of situations requiring further taxonomic work for resolution.

TL;DR: Imagine if the authors could compute across phenotype data as easily as genomic data; this article calls for efforts to realize this vision and discusses the potential benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
A gross anatomy ontology for hymenoptera.
TL;DR: The Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology provides a foundation through which connections between genomic, evolutionary developmental biology, phylogenetic, taxonomic, and morphological research can be actualized and is available through the OBO Foundry ontology repository and BioPortal.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The first comprehensive analysis of higher‐level phylogeny of the order Hymenoptera is presented and all currently recognized superfamilies are supported as monophyletic.
