The subfamily Alysiinae is a relatively large group within the family Braconidae, comprising more than 2,440 valid species worldwide. It is divided into two tribes, Alysiini and Dacnusini and is characteried by koinobiont endoparasitoidism of dipteran larvae. In South Korea, 286 species from 21 gene...

🪲A contribution to the knowledge of Central European carabid diversity and distribution, especially within agricultural landscapes.

Leuphana Universität Lüneburg University of Sussex Universität Hamburg

Ground beetles are present in most terrestrial ecosystems and fulfil key functions, especially as many species are important predators, contributing to natural pest control in agricultural landscapes. However, intensive agriculture, which combines monocultures and synthetic inputs, has been shown to...
