The nectar provision hypothesis predicts that the introduction of nectar-producing plants in agroecosystems benefits parasitoid populations field and enhances biological control. Intercropping is a common crop diversification scheme may bring complementary sources for parasitoids increase herbivore pest For instance, intercropping cereals with faba beans introduces usually sugar-devoid systems ...

Although mitochondrial gene rearrangement has been observed in many insect lineages, little is known about how it affects transcription. To address this question, we first constructed a quantitative transcription map for Aphidius gifuensis, species of parasitoid wasp to have highly rearranged genome (mitogenome) and two potential control regions (CRs). Based on map, assessed the models post-tra...
