Abstract

The evolution of endoparasitism in braconid wasps is demonstrably polyphyletic, not only within the family as a whole but even within the rogadine/exothecine assemblage of genera. A cladistic analysis of rogadine and exothecine genera, coupled with an optimization approach to estimating ancestral character states, is used to analyze the evolution of various aspects of endoparasitism within this assemblage. At least two independent origins of endoparasitism are hypothesized - one in the Rogadini and the other in an assmeblage including the Gnaptodontinae, Opiinae and Alysiinae. Phylogenetic analyes and hypotheses can be useful not only in interpreting evolutionary trends, but in guiding and providing insights into more general comparative behavioural and physiological studies of parasitism.
