“…These genes were associated with many developmental processes, including muscle tissue development, eye morphogenesis, respiratory system development, and larval salivary gland morphogenesis (Supplementary Table 21). These genomic changes may be related to the dramatic changes in morphological characteristics that are considered adaptations to a parasitoid lifestyle, such as simplified larval morphology lacking eyes and legs in Orussidae 11,27 .…”

The order Hymenoptera includes a large number of species with diverse lifestyles and is known for its significant contributions to natural ecosystems. To better understand the evolution of this diverse order, we performed large-scale comparative genomics on 131 species from 13 superfamilies, covering most representative groups. We used these genomes to reveal an overall pattern of genomic change in terms of gene content and evolutionary rate throughout hymenopteran history. We identified genes that possibly contributed to the evolution of several key innovations, such as parasitoidism, wasp-waist, sting, and secondary phytophagy. We also discovered the distinct genomic trajectories between the clade containing major parasitoid wasps (Parasitoida) and stinging species (Aculeata) since their divergence, which are involved in many aspects of genomic change, such as rapidly evolving gene families, gene gain and loss, and metabolic pathway evolution. In addition, we explored the genomic features accompanying the three independent evolution of secondary phytophagy. Our work provides insights for understanding genome evolution and the genomic basis of diversification in Hymenoptera.

The biology of the Siricoidea superfamily, a sister group of the Symphyta and the family Orussidae (Parasitica: Woodwasps), can be imagined as the evolution of parasitoids would have been. The larvae of the Siricoidea wasps generally feed on dead wood that has been previously digested by a fungal symbiont. For this reason, many species carry spores of the fungus that they leave on the wood during oviposition. Diversity and ecology of parasitoid insects of the Family Orussidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera). In summary, basically, the following steps of analysis were covered: Exhaustive reading of each national and international article aiming at a global understanding and discovery of the approach used by its authors; Identification of the central ideas of each article; Classification of ideas around nuclei of meaning; Comparison between the different nuclei of meaning present in the studied articles; Classification of the nuclei of meaning in broader axes (themes) around which the authors' discussions revolved and (e) writing of the interpretative syntheses of the theme. Book scientific chapters, theses banks, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals book scientific chapters, theses banks, university dissertations, scientific journals and https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_increase_the_research_results_v... were also used. https://goo.gl/gLTTTs), HAL (https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/submit/index, SSRN (https://hq.ssrn.com/login/pubsigninjoin.cfm and ResearchGate (https ://www.researchgate.net/signup.SignUp.html).
