- 2009 February 6, Andrew A. Forbes et al., “Sequential Sympatric Speciation Across Trophic Levels”, in Science, volume 323, number 5915, , pages 776–779:
- Other studies have identified potential examples (7), and, because D. alloeum is just one member of a guild of parasitic braconids attacking R. pomonella, it is possible that sympatric host races of Diachasmimorpha mellea and Utetes canaliculatus wasps are also associated with R. pomonella.
- 2015 Setember 26, Wasp uses virus to make GM butterfly, New Scientist, Issue 3040, page 14,
