BRC - EP-Coll

BRC - Egg parasitoid collection

A collection of Hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae

The Biological Resource Centre “Egg Parasitoids Collection - Ep-Coll” (https://doi.org/10.15454/AY4LMT) comprises several types of samples of Hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae. It comprises more than 50 living strains, dead individuals in ethanol, DNA sequences for more than 70 strains, and vouchers. Ep-Coll offers pools of molecular and/or morphological markers, knowledge about geographical and ecological distributions of species and know-how in field sampling, insect rearing, phenotyping, etc.

Egg parasitoids are relevant biological models for eco-evolutionary investigations and also a reservoir of candidate strains (species / populations / genotypes) for biocontrol.

Ep-Coll benefits of the BRC Ibisa label.

The BRC is deposited at the UMR1355 Institut Sophia AgroBiotech (ISA) in Sophia, France. The ISA is a research laboratory with greenhouses and controlled-environment chambers for carrying out in vitro and in situ experiments, with official agreement for the manipulation of quarantine nematodes, and all the laboratory facilities needed for molecular biology studies.
