MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF TRISSOLCUS WASPS (HYMENOPTERA, SCELIONIDAE) ASSOCIATED WITH HALYOMORPHA HALYS (HEMIPTERA, PENTATOMIDAE)

Molecular phylogeny of Trissolcus wasps (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) associated with Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae)

As the brown marmorated stink Gesichtsreinigung bug (Halyomorpha halys) has spread across the Northern Hemisphere, research on its egg parasitoids has increased accordingly.These studies have included species-level taxonomy, experimental assessments of host ranges in quarantine, and surveys to assess parasitism in the field.We here present a molecu

Form and formation of flares and parabolae based on new observations of the internal shell structure in lytoceratid and perisphinctid ammonoids

The ultrastructure of pristine shells of Jurassic and Cretaceous lytoceratid and perisphinctid ammonoids indicates that flares and parabolae represent homologous structures.Both mark an interruption of shell growth.We dismiss earlier interpretations of parabolae as actual aperture, relics of resorbed apophyses or superstructure of Hair Color Measur
