The first known parasitoid of Aricia morronensis (Ribbe, 1910), an endemic Iberian species, and notes on the parasitoids (Hymenoptera and Diptera) of the genus Aricia Rechenbach, 1817 in Europe
A parasitoid (Cotesia tenebrosa WESMAEL, 1837, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) of Aricia morronensis (RIBBE, 1910), a species endemic to the Iberian peninsula, is recorded for the first time. Incidental details, and photos of the parasitoid-host interaction are also given. Information on the parasitoids recorded from the European species of the genus...Shaw, Mark R ; Gil-T, Felipe

Habitat considerations for parasitis wasps (Hymenoptera)
Parasitic wasps operate at a high trophic level and, because of their biology, tend to be highly specialised, sometimes having very narrow host ranges with at least local monophagy a frequent outcome. These features, in addition to our poor state of autecological knowledge, render them particularly vulnerable in conservation terms...Shaw, Mark R

Host specialization by Cotesia wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) parasitizing species-rich Melitaeini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) communities in north-eastern Spain
In order to investigate parasitoids of the genus Cotesia (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), larvae of a speciose group of butterflies, the tribe Melitaeini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), were collected from several sites in Catalonia, northern Spain, a region that harbours ten out of the 20 European species of Melitaeini. New information on the natural...Kankare, M. ; Stefanescu, Constanti ; Van Nouhuys, Saskya ; Shaw, Mark R

Flight interception traps for arthropods
The idea for this book originated when planning, organizing and carrying out field work for the first All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory and Monitoring (ATBI+M) pilot sites established in the National Parks Mercantour and Alpi Marittime (France/Italy) in 2007, as part of the activities of the EDIT (European Distributed Institute of...Achterberg, C van ; Grootaert, P ; Shaw, Mark R
