As unsettling as the wasp’s method may seem, scientists say it may benefit the ecosystem, especially in reducing the fruit fly population. Shaw pointed out that this underscores the wasps' potential as natural control agents and their overall economic importance as biological control agents in cur...

5. Importance in the Natural World Wasps play a crucial role in ecosystem health and balance. They are considered beneficial insects due to their predatory nature. Wasps primarily feed on other insects, including aphids, caterpillars, and flies. In this way, they help control pest populations, ...
In recent years, the conservation of wasps has gained attention as researchers and conservationists recognize their crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance. Efforts to protect their habitats, reduce pesticide use, and raise public awareness about their importance are underway. By promoting coexistence...

Olfaction is of particular importance for reproduction and survival of most insect species5. Hence, the disruption of olfaction by sublethal doses of insecticides might have severe consequences for the fitness of insects and severely compromise their contribution to ecosystem services3. Worldwide, the ...
2018). To determine the effect of a parasite on an ecosystem one must consider (1) the ecological importance of the host, (2) the parasite's fitness effect on the host, and (3) the frequency of infestation (Lafferty and Kuris 2012). Parasitism is often derived from mutualistic systems, ...
However, the RAN1 gene did not show clear sex and organ specificity in expression. F. microcarpa and F. hispida represent two different reproductive systems, monoecy and functional dioecy, and different growth forms, hemi-epiphytic and territorial. Despite the importance of the Ficus genus as an...
