Extending understanding of latitudinal patterns in parasitoid wasp diversity

While the diversity of most taxa increases from temperate to tropical regions, the parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae has often been cited as an example of an anomalous diversity pattern with their highest diversity at mid‐latitudes. A rich body of literature has attempted to explain this pattern and provide hypothesised mechanisms, and recent studies have suggested that the pattern may result from biases in the data. Previous studies of...
