The order contains literally thousands of endo- and ectoparasitoid species that are or can be used for BioControl of insect pests, and the Hymenoptera venoms represent a rich pharmacopeia of potential new drugs.

Many phylogenetic relationships within the order Hymenoptera are still not understood ( e.g., what is the sister lineage of the famous and medically important Aculeata, i.e., the Hymenoptera, whose ovipositor has been modified to a stinger? ).

Associated with this lack of phylogenetic resolution is the difficulty to infer, how often and where specifically endoparasitism, phytophagy, and eusociality have evolved in the Hymenoptera.

Viele Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen innerhalb der Ordnung sind immer noch unzureichend verstanden :

Was ist z. B. die Schwestergruppe der bekannten und medizinisch wichtigen Aculeata, also derjenigen Hautflügler, deren Legebohrer zu einem Stachel abgewandelt ist?

In Zusammenhang mit diesem Kenntnismangel steht die Schwierigkeit abzuleiten, wie oft und wann genau in der Evolutionsgeschichte der Hymenopteren Endoparasitismus, Phylophagie und Eusozialität entstanden sind.
