The Braconid and Ichneumonid Parasitoid Wasps: Biology, Systematics, Evolution and EcologyJohn Wiley & Sons, 20 janv. 2015 - 704 pages The Ichneumonoidea is a vast and important superfamily of parasitic wasps, with some 60,000 described species and estimated numbers far higher, especially for small-bodied tropical taxa. The superfamily comprises two cosmopolitan families - Braconidae and Ichneumonidae - that have largely attracted separate groups of researchers, and this, to a considerable extent, has meant that understanding of their adaptive features has often been considered in isolation. This book considers both families, highlighting similarities and differences in their |
