Hymenoptera

This Reprint, “Hymenoptera: Biology, Taxonomy and Integrated Management”, focuses on the diverse Hymenoptera group, which is crucial for biological pest control. While new species are regularly described, many remain undiscovered, making research in this area highly significant. It aims to demonstrate taxonomy’s role in modern entomology and highlight its importance by showcasing current global specialist work. This includes enhancing biodiversity knowledge through new species descriptions, correctly identifying field species as a key step to understanding their biology and behavior for improving biological pest control programs, cataloging specimens in entomological collections, with both old and new material, and conducting phylogeny studies with appropriate taxonomic changes. Original research articles and reviews are featured, covering areas such as new species description, integrated pest management, molecular studies, cryptic species, and phylogeny. This Reprint serves as a valuable resource, compiling essential research to advance understanding and application of Hymenoptera in pest management and biodiversity conservation.
