Parasitoid biology preserved in mineralized fossils

Parasitoid biology preserved in mineralized fossils

Evidence for a parasitic lifestyle in extinct species tends to be indirect. Here, the authors provide direct evidence through X-ray examination of approximately 30–40 million year old fossil fly pupae, revealing 55 parasitation events by four newly described wasp species.
