Braconidae of the Middle East (Hymenoptera): Taxonomy, Distribution, Biology, and Biocontrol Benefits

The Middle East is the natural habitat of the Braconidae family of parasitoid wasps, which are Hymenoptera insects. This book offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge on parasitoid wasp species. The highest concentration of these species is found in the Middle East. This book covers the distribution of these species across the Palearctic region and their widespread global benefits as natural biocontrol agents.

Each chapter focuses on a specific braconid subfamily, providing introductory information on its biology and phylogeny, total number of species, global distribution, and potential applications in controlling pests and invasive insect species. In addition, this book discusses the importance of integrated pest management, specifically the use of Braconidae for one-time or repeated introductions of natural enemies to suppress pest populations.

Finally, each chapter includes an illustrative key for readers to visualize and identify each species.
