Parasitoid communities: their size, structure and development
In this chapter the authors first consider the literature on host-parasitoid associations and its limitations. They then review ideas that have been applied to the study of parasitoid communities. The authors develop a system of categorizing parasitoids, based on a fundamental dichotomy in their biology, which allows them to make...Askew, R R ; Shaw, Mark R

Edward Charles Pelham-Clinton (1920-1988)
An obituary is given of E.C. Pelham-Clinton (1920-88), best known as co-author (with J.A. Campbell in 1960) of a taxonomic revision of the British Culicoides. A bibliography of his publications is appended.Shaw, Mark R ; Agassiz, D J L

Western Palaearctic Oedicephalini and Phaeogenini (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Ichneumoninae) in the National Museums of Scotland, with distributional data including 28 species new to Britain, rearing records, and descriptions of two new species of Aethecerus Wesmael and one of Diadromus Wesmael
An account is given of approximately 3,250 western Palaearctic specimens, comprising 110 determined species, of the tribes Oedicephalini and Phaeogenini in the National Museums of Scotland. Distributional and phenological data are given for all species, and rearing records are provided for about 50, although not always with the host’s identity...Diller, Erich ; Shaw, Mark R

Insects associated with birch
The entomology of birch in Britain (and to a lesser extent in Fennoscandia) is reviewed in broad ecological terms. In particular, the size of the associated fauna, the kinds of geographical distribution patterns seen for birch insects in Britain, birch defoliators, and the conservation needs of insects associated with birch...Shaw, Mark R

Lestricus secalis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae): a species new to Spain parasitizing the Iberian endemic Pogonocherus sturanii (Sama & Schurmann, 1982) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae)
The cenocoeliine braconid Lestricus secalis (Linnaeus) is recorded for the first time in Spain, being the southernmost known locality in the species’ distribution. Two specimens emerged from branches of Pinus nigra ssp. salzmannii in which the Iberian endemic cerambycid Pogonocherus sturanii was developing, in Sierra Mágina (southern Spain). Illustrated notes...Obregón, R ; Shaw, Mark R

Synthesis and reactions of 4-aryloxyflavans
4α-Aryloxyflavans unsubstituted in ring A have been synthesised by the reaction of phenols with flavan-4β-ols in the presence of boron trifluoride in ether. If reaction times are prolonged beyond disappearance of the starting 4β-ols, thermodynamic control leads to 4-arylflavans and the yields of 4-aryloxyflavans are negligible. 4-Arylflavans are the sole...Bateman, G ; Brown, B R ; Campbell, J B ; Cotton, C A ; Johnson, P …

First host record for the rogadine genus Pholichora van Achterberg (Hymenoptera:Braconidae) with description of a new species and notes on convergent wing venation features
The wasp genus Pholichora is recorded as parasitic on geometrid moth larvae on the basis of a new species, P. subscleroma sp. nov., from South Africa (Natal), reared from Ascotis reciprocaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae, Ennominae). The discovery of this new species necessitates a reassessment of the characters separating Pholichora from Hemigyroneuron....Quicke, D L J ; Shaw, Mark R

The biology, egg and larvae of Acaenitus dubitator (Panzer) (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae: Acaenitinae)
Acaenitus dubitator (Panzer) is found to be a koinobiont endoparasitoid of the larva of an endophytic beetle, Cleonis piger (Scopoli) (Curculionidae), in Britain, suggesting a similar mode of development for the ichneumonid subfamily Acaenitinae as a whole. The parasitoid can overwinter in its cocoon in one of two ways. Individuals...Shaw, Mark R ; Wahl, D B

Western Palaearctic Meteorinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in the National Museums of Scotland, with rearing, phenological and distributional data, including six species new to Britain, and a discussion of a potential route to speciation.
Distributional, phenological and in many cases rearing data are given for 44 species of western Palaearctic Meteorinae in the genera Meteorus and Zele, from the nearly 2,500 specimens of the group present in the collection of the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh. Six species are newly recorded from Britain. Patterns...Stigenberg, Julia ; Shaw, Mark R

A new species of Macrostomion Szepligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Rogadinae) from Papua New Guinea, with notes on the biology of the genus
Macrostomion gnathothlibi spec. nov. is described from a series reared gregariously from a larva of the sphingid moth Gnathothlibus eratus eras (Boisduval) collected in Papua New Guinea. Dedanima Cameron, 1903, is synonymised with Macrostomion Szépligeti, 1900. A further four gregarious broods of Macrostomion are noted, three certainly and one probably...Shaw, Mark R
