The Braconid and Ichneumonid parasitoid wasps : biology, systematics, evolution and ecology / Donald L.J. Quicke. [electronic resource] Quicke, Donald L. J. aut Parasitic wasps. QL496.12 .Q55 2014 595.7 Includes bibliographical references and index. The Ichneumonoidea is a vast and important superfamily of parasitic wasps, with some 60,000 described species and estimated numbers far higher, especially for small-bodied tropical taxa. The superfamily comprises two cosmopolitan families - Braconidae and Ichneumonidae - that have largely attracted separate groups of researchers, and this, to a considerable extent, has meant that understanding of their adaptive features has often been considered in isolation. This book considers both families, highlighting similarities and differences in their adaptations.
