Taxonomy is the branch of biology that names, describes, identifies and classifies living and extinct species and groups, which qualifies it as an important science that serves as the main basis for any policy aimed at avoiding the current biodiversity crisis. In contrast to the need for taxonomists, there has been a decline in the number of professionals and the availability of resources…

Parasitoid insects are specialized organisms that live inside or upon unique host, which is led to death due to the consequences of parasitoid actions. Despite it would be relatively easy to understand an evolutionary advantage for the parasitoid, it is harder to hypothesize the early and intermediary steps for the evolution of parasitoidism. One way to address this challenge is to seek f…
Thynninae (Hymenoptera: Tiphiidae) is the most diverse of the Tiphiidae subfamilies with about 75 genera and 600 species, which occur in the Neotropical and Australian Regions. Its most striking feature is sexual dimorphism, with apterous females, who spend most of their life in the soil in search of Coleoptera larvae, and winged males, who fly actively in search of nectar and females. De…
Swarm-founding wasps (Epiponini) are endemic and quite common in the Neotropical Region. However, the species diversity of this tribe is greatly underestimated. In addition, the hypothesis of origin in Neotropics has never been tested and studies focusing on the biogeographic history of the groups are scarce. Thus, the aims of this proposal are to intensify the search for data on the occu…
Aculeata, the stinging Hymenoptera, is a monophyletic group with an impressive richness of described species (~60,000) and a diversity of behaviors. While the phylogenetic relationships in a few groups of Aculeata are extremely well studied (bees, ants, social wasps), many of the relationships among its main inner groups are controversial. Vespoidea, one of three traditionally recognized …
Presently, the pesticides are the rule to control of pests on agriculture and livestock, but they also affect pollinators insects as they come in contact with the plant to pollinate it, and one of the important pollinators to mention are bees. They are also very important to human because of the production of propolis, honey and wax. The wax have lipids compounds with low polarity, which …

Thynninae is the most diverse subfamily of Tiphiidae (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) and is present in the Neotropical and Australasian regions. It is divided in four tribes, of which Scotaenini comprehend seven exclusively neotropical genera, but a recent cladistic analysis did not recover the monophyly of the group, as well as Scotaena Klug, the type-genus of Scotaenini. The species of Scotaena…
Vespidae comprises more than 5,000 described species among six subfamilies: Euparagiinae, Stenogastrinae, Masarinae, Eumeninae, Polistinae and Vespinae. The family is commonly known by the social species, variety of nest architecture and by being a study model for the evolution of the social behavior. However, the most diverse but less studied subfamily among vespidae is Eumeninae with mo…
