Evolution of host relationships among the parasitic wasps inferred from morphology, DNA sequences and mitochondrial genome organisation. The parasitic Hymenoptera (wasps) are extensively used as biological control agents of agricultural and horticultural pests worldwide, but detailed information on their evolutionary relationships, how they have coevolved with major host groups, and the patterns of host relationships across various wasp families are lacking. This project will employ DNA sequence data from 'new' genes, information on mitochondrial genome organisation, as well as morphology, to generate robust phylogenies for braconid and scelionid wasps that can be used to determine patterns of host utilisation and predict hosts for wasp groups where this information is currently unknown.

从形态学、DNA序列和线粒体基因组组织推断寄生蜂之间宿主关系的进化。寄生蜂被广泛用作全球农业和园艺害虫的生物控制剂，但它们的进化关系，它们如何与主要宿主群体共同进化，以及各种黄蜂家族之间的宿主关系模式的详细信息缺乏。该项目将采用来自“新”基因的DNA序列数据，线粒体基因组组织的信息以及形态学，以生成用于braconid和scelionid黄蜂的强大的bracongenies，可用于确定宿主利用模式，并预测黄蜂群的宿主，这些信息目前尚不清楚。
