Are generalist Aphidiinae (Hym. Braconidae) mostly cryptic species complexes? (2015)
Journal Article
Derocles, S. A. P., Plantegenest, M., Rasplus, J.-Y., Marie, A., Evans, D. M., Lunt, D. H., & Le Ralec, A. (2016). Are generalist Aphidiinae (Hym. Braconidae) mostly cryptic species complexes?. Systematic Entomology, 41(2), 379--391. https://doi.org/10.1111/syen.12160

Aphidiinae are mostly composed of specialist parasitoids and the few species described as generalist are suspected to be composed of cryptic specialists, almost indistinguishable based on morphological characteristics. The use of molecular markers ha... Read More about Are generalist Aphidiinae (Hym. Braconidae) mostly cryptic species complexes?.

Simulated climate-warming increases Coleoptera activity-densities and reduces community diversity in a cereal crop (2015)
Journal Article
Berthe, S. C., Derocles, S. A., Lunt, D. H., Kimball, B. A., & Evans, D. M. (2015). Simulated climate-warming increases Coleoptera activity-densities and reduces community diversity in a cereal crop. Agriculture, ecosystems & environment, 210, 11-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2015.05.001

Abstract Simulated climate-warming experiments have provided important insights into the response of terrestrial ecosystems, but few have examined the impacts on agricultural insects, particularly those associated with the ecosystem service of biolog...

Determining Plant – Leaf Miner – Parasitoid Interactions: A DNA Barcoding Approach (2015)
Journal Article
Derocles, S. A., Evans, D. M., Nichols, P. C., Evans, S. A., & Lunt, D. H. (2015). Determining Plant – Leaf Miner – Parasitoid Interactions: A DNA Barcoding Approach. PLoS ONE, 10(2), Article e0117872. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0117872

A major challenge in network ecology is to describe the full-range of species interactions in a community to create highly-resolved food-webs. We developed a molecular approach based on DNA full barcoding and mini-barcoding to describe difficult to o...
