Invading Africa: a novel transoceanic dispersal by a New World ant parasitoid

2016-09-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: An ant parasitoid wasp genus (Eucharitidae: Kapala) common in the New World exhibits the intriguing pattern of having one species distributed widely across tropical Africa and Madagascar. The unusual distribution prompted an investigation of the age, origins and diversification of the Afrotropical Kapala species. We evaluate a previous hypothesis that the species was anthropogenically introduced. LOCATION: Af...
