The Hymenoptera associated with spiders in Europe
The Hymenoptera known to be obligatory parasitoids or predators of spiders or their eggs in Europe form a rather diverse assemblage. Their biologies are briefly reviewed; known host associations are summarized for each genus; and a key is given to the genera of Hymenoptera (other than Pompilidae) involved.Fitton, M G ; Shaw, Mark R ; Austin, A D

Seasonal variation in the reproductive strategy of the parasitic wasp Eulophus larvarum (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae)
1. Eulophus larvarum (L.) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a gregarious parasitoid of lepidopterous larvae feeding on broad-leaved trees. Normally there are two generations a year. 2. Sex ratio in the spring generation of larvae is female biased. The bias is probably due to local mate competition as progeny from one brood...Godfray, H C ; Shaw, Mark R

Palaeontological site conservation and the law in Britain
The legal situation regarding palaeontological site conservation in Britain is unclear. There is no modern review of the law. Five main areas of concern are identified. Most exsisting laws do not specifically consider the needs of palaeontological conservation. Legislation empowers the Nature Conservancy Council upon policy decisions. The NCC is...Taylor, Michael A ; Harte, J D C

Palaeontological site conservation and the professional collector
Professional (i.e. commercial) fossil collectors can and do use sites responsibly. They benefit palaeontology by finding new fossils. Control of this collecting is counterproductive on eroding coasts and new exposures opened up by such collectors. Irresponsible professional collectors are not a major cause of damage compared to other collectors, quarry...Taylor, Michael A

Pimpline ichneumon-flies. Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae (Pimplinae)
The British Pimplinae are revised, and illustrated keys are provided for their identification. For each species details of known distribution and biology in Britain are summarised. This treatment is supplemented by a checklist, notes on techniques and the systematics of Pimplinae, and a general review of the biology of the...Fitton, M G ; Shaw, Mark R ; Gauld, I D

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

Influences of host feeding-niche and foodplant type on generalist and specialist parasitoids
Parasitoids of 185 British herbivorous insect species were classified as being koinobionts (tending to be specialists) or idiobionts (potential generalists) to examine the influences of host feeding-niche and food plant type on the numbers of parasitoid species attacking individual host species. The majority of parasitoid species of exophytic (internally feeding)...Hawkins, B A ; Askew, R R ; Shaw, Mark R

Relations among assemblage size, host specialization and climatic variability in North American parasitoid communities
We classified the parasitoids attacking 628 species of North American herbivorous insects as idiobionts (those that permanently disable their host during attack) or koinobionts (those that permit continued host development following parasitization). Using these physiological attributes of parasitoids as estimators of host range, we tested three hypotheses that might explain...Hawkins, B A ; Shaw, Mark R ; Askew, R R
