A molecular phylogeny of the Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera).

TL;DR: This first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily Chalcidoidea based on a molecular analysis of 18S and 28S ribosomal gene regions for 19 families, 72 subfamilies, 343 genera and 649 species finds no impact of alignment method, and few but substantial differences between likelihood and parsimony approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Techniques for Imaging Parasitic Hymenoptera (Insecta)

TL;DR: Lighting techniques designed for imaging parasitic Hymenoptera in the superfamilies Chalcidoidea and Cynipoidea are described, applicable to all small insects, as well as other invertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A hymenopterists' guide to the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology: Utility, clarification, and future directions

TL;DR: The history, development, and utility of the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology (HAO) and its associated applications are described and the roles of homology, “preferred terms”, and “structural equivalency” are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined molecular and morphological phylogeny of Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), with focus on the subfamily Entedoninae

TL;DR: A new combined molecular and morphological phylogeny of the Eulophidae is presented with special reference to the subfamily Entedoninae, and the impact of a small set of historically recognized morphological characters on combined analyses is examined.
