Karyotypes and sex chromosome diversity in three stonefly species (Plecoptera: Perlodidae, Perlidae) from Siberia

The current paper focuses on studying morphology of the autosomes and sex chromosomes in karyotypes of three stonefly species from Siberia. We provide new cytogenetic data for species from Perlodidae (Arcynopteryx dichroa (McLachlan, 1872), Megarcys ochracea (Klapálek, 1912)) and...

A multigene phylogeny of Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) supports a revised higher-level classification and reveals host-associated diversification

Context The subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) comprises specialised koinobiont endoparasitoids of aphids, many of which are widely used as biological control agents. However, higher-level relationships and taxonomic ranks within Aphidiinae remain contentious. Aims We...
