''Drepanosiphum platanoidis'' is a species of insect, commonly known as the sycamore aphid. It undergoes both parthenogenic Parthenogenesis (; from the Greek + ) is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which the embryo develops directly from an egg without need for fertilization. In animals, parthenogenesis means the development of an embryo from an unfertiliz ... and sexual reproduction.

Journal Of Animal Ecology
The ''Journal of Animal Ecology'' is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing research in all areas of animal ecology. It began publication in 1932, and as such is the second oldest journal of the British Ecological Society (after ''Journal of Ecology''). Its first Editor was Charles Elton, with A. D. Middleton as Assistant Editor. It is currently edited by Nate Sanders (University of Michigan), Lesley Lancaster (University of Aberdeen), Darren Evans (Newcastle University) and Ana M. C. Santos (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) Types of papers published The journal publishes the following types of papers: * Research Articles – a typical experimental, comparative or theoretical paper * Concepts – short essays on emerging ideas and research areas or novel perspectives on classic concepts * Reviews – syntheses of topics of broad ecological interest * Research Methods Guides – instructional papers that aim to serve as a practical guide for animal ecologists in ...

Aphelinidae
The Aphelinidae are a moderate-sized family of tiny parasitic wasps, with about 1100 described species in some 28 genera. These minute insects are challenging to study, as they deteriorate rapidly after death unless extreme care is taken (e.g., preservation in ethanol), making identification of most museum specimens difficult. The larvae of the majority are primary parasitoids on Hemiptera, though other hosts are attacked, and details of the life history can be variable (e.g., some attack eggs, some attack pupae, and others are hyperparasites). Males and females may have different hosts and different life historie They are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats, and are extremely important as biological control agents. The oldest fossils are known from the Eocene aged Baltic Amber. They are difficult to separate from other Chalcidoidea except by subtle features of the wing venation and other difficult characters, and the family appears to be paraphyletic, so is l ...
