Despite the benefits associated with protection and foraging activities, group living also implies challenges for individuals. The evolutionary transition from subsocial to social living changed the reproductive life histories in many animals. In social species of the spider genus Anelosimus, producing few but large offspring seems to be a strategy...
Parasitoids have great ecological importance in regulating populations of phytophagous insects, acting as natural controllers of agricultural and forestry pests. Knowledge about parasitoids in a given region is the first step to identifying species with potential for applied biological control. Thus, the aim of this work was to prospect for parasit...

During the past two decades, the phylogenetic relationships and higher-level classification of the subfamily Rogadinae have received relevant contributions based on Sanger, mitogenome and genome-wide nuclear DNA sequence data. These studies have helped to update the circumscription and tribal classification of this subfamily, with six tribes curren...
Synaldis is a taxon within the Aspilota group with a contentious taxonomic history, currently classified as a subgenus of the genus Dinotrema. Species of Synaldis were only documented in the Neotropical region in 2017, and until then, the Neotropical fauna of this subgenus was represented by five species from Brazil. In this study, Synaldis is repo...
Os insetos parasitoides correspondem a uma apreciável fração das espécies animais e possuem grande importância ecológica, em especial por sua ação reguladora das populações de insetos fitófagos. Assim possuem também uma notável importância econômica já que muitos atuam controlando pragas florestais e agrícolas, e existem diversos exemplos de sucess...
Os parasitoides constituem um grupo megadiverso e apresentam uma relação complexa com seus hospedeiros, dos quais qual se alimentam (interna ou externamente), para completarem seu ciclo biológico. Sendo assim, eles desempenham um papel importante no controle biológico de pragas, ajudando a reduzir a população de insetos herbívoros nocivos em muitas...

Some hymenopteran parasitoids induce intricate behavioral alterations in their spider hosts. Despite these refined adaptations, the success of their attacks and larval development relies on careful host selection. Large hosts will certainly assure the biomass required for the parasitoid larva to pupate, but the selection of large hosts is constrain...

Some ichneumonid wasps of the Polysphincta group of genera (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) induce behavioral modifications in their host spiders during a specific moment of their development, resulting in the construction of webs that differ in several aspects from those constructed by unparasitized individuals. In this study, we describe t...
