Gentlemen, please tell me what is known about the dating of the appearance of parasitic wasps and their divergence. Specifically interested in endoparasites, the growth of species diversity, the development of specialization, etc
. Thank you in advance. P.
S, Yes, I already Googled it, there is some idea, but there is nothing better than a specialist's answer to a specific question.

the question is extremely vague, if anything. The answer, I think, pulls on a five-volume smile.gif

Two volumes are devoted to the biological diversity of parasitic wasps. But when did this diversity appear that is comparable to the modern one for endoparasites? What is known and what is not by dating?

Are you interested in the lower parasitic wasps Aculeata or the parasitic horsemen Terebrantes ("Parasitica")?

Some literature:

Rasnitsyn, A. P., Origin and evolution of hymenopteran insects, Tr. PIN of the USSR Academy of Sciences, 1980, vol. 174, Moscow: Nauka. — 190 c.

Proceedings of the Russian Entomological Society. Vol. 75(1). St. Petersburg, 2004, 300 p. (in Russian)

well, yes, do you want Rasnitsyn's monograph to be reprinted here?))))

paleontologists and geologists prefer to operate not with abs. dates, but with ...how would it be... relative to each other sequence - periods there, epochs, etc...

And the interweaving of endo - and ectoparasitoid strategies, such as in ichneumonids, is so bizarre that it does not diverge in accordance with evol.divergence. And the chalcidoid families, although there are general trends in hosts, but almost all of them have completely unexpected host variants.

This is something that uv. A. P. Rasnitsyn does not have in the book. And the origin of microchymenoptera - a dark matter-is not considered there. So-Good luck!!!, if you want to devote a dozen reincarnations to this issue))
