According to the project directives, not only all products of ca. 20,300 protein coding genes should be identified but also at least one splicing variant, one single nucleotide polymorphism product and some major post-translational modi

Within insect communities, the population ecology of organisms representing higher trophic levels, for example, hymenopterous parasitoids, may be influenced by the structure of their insect hosts.
