In memoriam Zdenek Boucek (1924-2011)

Graellsia (2011)

J. L. Nieves‐Aldrey Isabel Izquierdo Moya

El Dr Boucek, uno de los mas prestigiosos calcidologos del mundo, fallecia en Praga el dia 17 de julio, a los 87 anos de edad. La taxonomia moderna de insectos himenopteros, particularmente la del enorme grupo de la superfamilia Chalcidoidea, le debe mucho a este incansable investigador quien, junto a otros destacados especialistas en calcidoideos como Marcus Graham y Richard Askew, sentaron las bases en la segunda mitad del siglo XX del conocimiento de la Sistematica actual de este dificil y enorme grupo de himenopteros. Baste decir que a lo largo de su vida describio un total de 1100 taxones de Hymenoptera, de los cuales 1094 son de Chalcidoidea, incluyendo 281 nombres de nivel genero y 47 dentro de la categoria taxonomica de familia. Su rigor, minuciosidad e incansable capacidad de trabajo ha sido reconocida por la legion de calcidologos modernos que se beneficiaron extraordinariamente de su labor seminal y su magisterio, y se sintieron realmente aupados a hombros de este gigante de la taxonomia de himenopteros. El Dr Boucek nacio en 1924 en la republica Checa; estaba casado desde 1949 con Tatiana Rydlova y deja una hija Jitka. Desarrollo su primera actividad laboral y publico sus trabajos iniciales en la Universidad Charles de Praga, posteriormente en un centro de investigacion agraria y, finalmente, en el Museo de Historia Natural de Praga, donde en 1969 obtuvo el doctorado por la Academia de Ciencias Checoslovaca, con un trabajo de revision de los Chalcidoidea de Europa. Un acontecimiento crucial en su vida fue la invasion sovietica de Checoslovaquia, cuyas consecuencias politicas le impulsaron a emigrar al reino Unido, donde obtuvo puestos de trabajo primero en la Universidad de Oxford (Hope Department) y mas tarde en el Commonwealth Institute of Entomology del Natural History Museum, institucion en la que permanecio hasta su jubilacion en 1989. Sin embargo no ceso en su incansable labor, realizando estancias de trabajo en Australia, Canada y Francia y publicando articulos y libros hasta la edad de 80 anos. Con la caida del muro de Berlin, Boucek y su esposa regresaron a su patria, la republica Checa, donde finalmente establecieron su residencia en 1992. Entre sus muchas publicaciones

Two new species of Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from Spain, the first known native European gall inducing tetrastichine and its parasitoid

Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N S ) (2011)

J. L. Nieves‐Aldrey R. R. Askew

Abstract Aprostocetus (Argandia) gallicolus Nieves-Aldrey & Askew subgen. & sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae) is described from stem galls in Hedysarum boveanum (Fabaceae) in Spain. It is the first native European species of Tetrastichinae known to be a gall inducer. Baryscapus hedysari Nieves-Aldrey & Askew sp. nov. is described as a parasitoid of A. gallicolus.

Comparative morphology, biology and phylogeny of terminal-instar larvae of the European species of Toryminae (Hym., Chalcidoidea, Torymidae) parasitoids of gall wasps (Hym. Cynipidae)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society (2008)

J. F. Gómez J. L. Nieves‐Aldrey María Hernández Nieves

We present a phylogenetic and taxonomic study of the morphology and biology of the terminal-instar larval stage of 19 species representing all the genera of Torymidae parasitoids of gall wasps in Europe, with the single exception of Megastigmus. The genera studied include Adontomerus Nikol'skaya, Idiomacromerus Crawford, Chalcimerus Steffan & Andriescu, Glyphomerus Förster, Pseudotorymus Masi and Torymus Dalman. We primarily used chaetotaxy and some head structures. The terminal-instar larvae of all studied species are thoroughly described for the first time and illustrated with SEM images. We provide diagnostic characters for the family and the genera studied, and keys to genera and species for the identification of torymid larvae associated with cynipid galls. The majority of the torymid larvae studied are solitary monophagous parasitoids. Finally, to assess the potential use of larval characters in systematic studies of the family, a phylogenetic analysis of the studied taxa based on 42 larval morphological characters is proposed and compared with the current taxonomy of Torymidae. Our results suggest that body chaetotaxy, and characters of the head and mouthparts could be used for genera and species discrimination.

Phylogenetic and non-phylogenetic patterns in the richness, frequency and composition of links in a herbivore-parasitoid interaction network

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) (2024)

Frazer Sinclair Chang‐Ti Tang Richard I. Bailey György Csóka George Melika

Revealing processes that structure species interactions is central to understanding community assembly and dynamics. Species interact via their phenotypes, but identifying and quantifying the traits that structure species-specific interactions (links) can be challenging. Where these traits show phylogenetic signal, however, link properties may be predictable using models that incorporate phylogenies in place of trait data. We analysed variation in link richness, frequency, and species identity in a multi-site dataset of interactions between oak cynipid galls and parasitoid natural enemies, using a Bayesian mixed modelling framework allowing concurrent fitting of phylogenetic effects of both trophic levels. In both link incidence (presence/absence) and link frequency datasets, we identified strong signatures of cophylogeny (related parasitoids attack related host galls) alongside patterns independent of either phylogeny. Our results are robust to simulations of substantially reduced sample completeness, and are consistent with the structuring of trophic interactions by a combination of phylogenetically conserved and convergently evolving traits in both trophic levels. We discuss our results in light of phenotypic traits thought to structure gall-parasitoid interactions and consider wider applications of this approach, including inference of underlying community assembly processes and prediction of economically important trophic interactions.
