The lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus, Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the main pests that affect the intensive poultry industry worldwide. Among the damage caused, there are weight loss of chickens, destruction of farm infrastructure, and transmission of viruses, fungi, and bacteria that cause diseases. The current control method for the beetle is based on chemical insecticide…
Apiculture is an important sector of Worls economy, being responsible for approximately U$$ 730 million in the US in 2018, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). 41 % of this value (US$302 million) correspond to pollination services, 46% (US$333 million) correspond to honey commercialisation and 13% (US$ 95 million) correspond to the commercialisation of other co…
Insect pollination is essential to the production of more than 70% of the food crops in the world. Among pollinating insects with the highest economic importance, bees stand out, especially the honeybee Apis mellifera L.. Honeybee pollination services contribute more than US$200 billion annualy to the world economy. However, pollination services have been afected lately by a worldwide fen…

Life history characteristics are highly diversified in Hymenoptera and are directly related to how species interact with each other, being, for example, gallers, cleptoparasites or parasitoids. A large portion of this diversity is represented in the system Ficus (Moraceae) - fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). The system involves wasps from different lineages and with diversified life …
