Influence of experimental warming and shading on host–parasitoid synchrony (2010, background): “The Hymenoptera (largely comprised of parasitoids) is perhaps the most species-rich order of insects on earth (LaSalle & Gauld, 1993), and these species have a key role in structuring and organizing ecological communities (Shaw & Hochberg, 2001).”
Declines in the numbers of amateur and professional taxonomists: implications for conservation (2002, background): “For example, in the United Kingdom there are 210 members of the recording scheme that is devoted to the study of the 510 species of bees, ants and wasps, but ‘scarcely more than half a dozen individuals’ contribute information on the occurrence of the 6000 parasitic Hymenoptera (Shaw & Hochberg, 200”
A global parasite conservation plan (2020, background): “As a result, even biology professionals know little about parasitism, and there is a shortage of experts who specialize in parasites (Shaw and Hochberg, 2001).”
Ecology Drives the Worldwide Distribution of Human Diseases (2004, background): “…on the planet might be substantially underestimated, especially because inventories generally focus attention on the most charismatic groups (Shaw and Hochberg 2001), and little is known about the biodiversity of microorganisms associated with each considered group of organisms, i.e., hosts…”
Habitat Considerations for Parasitic Wasps (Hymenoptera) (2006, background): “All three of these characteristics are likely to make them especially vulnerable to extinction (Shaw and Hochberg 2001); the first two for real ecological reasons, and the third on the optimistic presumption that a focus on knowledge-based nature conservation effort is on the whole effective, but…”
