Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long-term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Bracon...

Warming Reduces Parasitoid Success and Narrows Their Diet Breadth
Warming may have a major impact on trophic networks, but few interactions are typically studied. Here we show that experimental warming strongly decreased the success of parasitoid development across...

🚨 Publication Alert! 🚨 Curious about how thelytokous (asexual) reproduction shapes genetic diversity in a parasitoid? My first PhD paper is now out, where we explore this fascinating system through a genomic lens. 📄 Paper link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @angmcgaughran.bsky.social

Using Genomic Data to Infer Evolutionary Processes in the Asexual Parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides
In this study, we used whole-genome resequencing to investigate spatial and temporal genomic variation in the Irish strain of the asexual (thelytokous) parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides, which was ...

🐧We researched one of the world’s rarest #penguins. The yellow‑eyed penguin (aka hoiho/takaraka) isn’t one homogeneous species after all! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #hoiho #conservation #genomics #birds #nzwildlife #endangered #wildlife #nature
Hoiho - the world’s rarest penguin, fewer than 150 mainland pairs left
