🧬 New Publication Alert!

It all began with a squirrel eating papaya — and a simple question: who else visits these fruits? 🌴

From garden curiosity to fieldwork in Taiwan’s pineapple farms with eDNA.

Confirmation of Avian Dispersal of a Seed Chalcid Wasp in North America and a New Host Record for Megastigmus aculeatus (Hymenoptera: Megastigmidae) Dispersal of chalcid wasp larvae inhabiting the seeds of angiosperms by wild birds in North America has never been verified. I describe adult Megastigmus aculeatus Swederus that successfully emerged f...
