contents We prove new integral formulas for generalized hypergeometric functions and their confuent variants. We apply them, via stationary phase formula, to study WKB expansions of solutions: for large argument in the confuent case and for large parameter in the general case. We also study variations of hypergeometric functions for small perturbations of hypergeometric equations, i.e., in expansions of solutions in powers of a small parameter. Next, we present a new proof of a theorem due to Wasow about equivalence of the Airy equation with its perturbation; in particular, we explain that this result does not deal with the WKB solutions and the Stokes phenomenon. Finally, we study hypergeometric equations, one of second order and another of third order, which are related with two generating functions for MZVs, one $Δ_2 (λ)$ for $ζ(2, \ldots , 2)$'s and another $Δ_3 (λ)$ for $ζ(3, \ldots , 3)$'s; in particular, we correct a statement from [ZZ3] that the function $Δ_3(λ)$ admits a regular WKB expansion.
