Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parasitic wasps are one of the most diverse groups of insects. They are of tremendous importance in regulating insect populations and are increasingly used in biological control worldwide. Chalcidoidea is the second largest superfamily of parasitic wasps after Ichneumonoidea, with over 3,000 genera and 22,000 species already described. Their diversity is still very poorly known (up to 500,000 species may exist) and their identification often proves difficult even for the expert. The Training course aims to introduce the trainees into the fascinating world of chalcids, provide information about specific and appropriate methods of collecting, mounting and imaging, as well as present and explain the most important morphological characters used for their identification. Important<\/strong>: the course contents can be adapted to trainees\u2019 specific requirements (e.g. emphasis on certain groups of parasitoids, etc).<\/p>\n

MODULE 1<\/strong>: Theoretical session-introducing the parasitic wasps, with special emphasis on Chalcidoidea: presentation of parasitic wasps\u2019 superfamilies and chalcid wasps\u2019 families<\/p>\n

MODULE 2<\/strong>: Field work-collecting methods for parasitic wasps: entomological net, yellow pan traps, Malaise traps, etc.<\/p>\n

MODULE 3<\/strong>: Lab work-sample processing methods; identification of parasitoid wasps superfamilies and chalcid wasps families; imaging specimens of parasitic wasps.<\/p>\n
