The wild cocoons of a new species of Japanese parasitoid wasp
A unique "star" was discovered from the Ryukyu Islands, a biodiversity hot spot in subtropical Japan: a star-shaped structure that turned out to be the cocoon mass of a new species of parasitoid wasp. Researchers Shunpei Fujie (Osaka Museum of Natura.....»»
Natural enemy of invasive, berry-eating fly found in U.S.
A parasitoid wasp that is the natural enemy of a fly known as the spotted-wing drosophila could be a good friend to growers. Washington State University researchers recently confirmed the discovery of the potentially beneficial wasp in the United Sta.....»»
Extreme exoplanet even more exotic than originally thought
Considered an ultra-hot Jupiter—a place where iron gets vaporized, condenses on the night side and then falls from the sky like rain—the fiery, inferno-like WASP-76b exoplanet may be even more sizzling than scientists had realized......»»

Pollinator host-switches and fig hybridization dominate fig-wasp coevolution
The genus Ficus (figs) and their agaonid pollinating fig wasps are a classic example of coevolution. It represents perhaps the most extreme and ancient (about 75 million years) obligate pollination mutualism known......»»
Evidence for substance at liquid-gas boundary on exoplanet WASP-31b
One of the properties that make a planet suitable for life is the presence of a weather system. Exoplanets are too far away to directly observe this, but astronomers can search for substances in the atmosphere that make a weather system possible. Res.....»»
This strange ‘super-puff’ planet is more atmosphere than core
Planet WASP-107b has a mass just one-tenth that of Jupiter, even though it is around the same size. But that's not the only strange thing about this planet......»»
A "super-puff" planet like no other
The core mass of the giant exoplanet WASP-107b is much lower than what was thought necessary to build up the immense gas envelope surrounding giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn, astronomers at Université de Montréal have found......»»
