Abstract:

This study presents investigation of sessile oak cynipid gall wasps fauna of Mt Fruška Gora. Gall wasps are insects, from the family Cynipidae, that induces galls mainly on oaks. Complex of sessile oak cynipid gall wasps were investigated during 4-year period (2016 - 2019). The survey was carried out on five sites: Kraljeve stolice, Spomenik, Brankovac, Ležimir and Rohalj baze. At total, number of seventeen cynipid gall wasps species were identified: Andricus aries (Girauld, 1859), Andricus caliciformis (Giraud, 1859), Andricus coriarius (Hartig, 1843), Andricus curvator (Hartig, 1840), Andric

Abstract:

Abstract Cynipid gall wasps play an important role in structuring oak arthropod communities. Wasps in the Cynipini tribe typically lay their eggs in oaks (Quercus L.), and induce the formation of a ‘gall’, which is a tumor-like growth of plant material that surrounds the developing wasp. As the wasp develops, the cynipid and its gall are attacked by a diverse community of natural enemies, including parasitoids, hyperparasitoids, and inquilines. Determining what structures these species-rich natural enemy communities across cynipid gall wasp species is a major question in gall wasp biology. Add

Abstract:

In research on the fauna of insect parasitoids of cynipid gall wasps in Serbia, galls of the cynipid gall wasp species <em>Aulacidea tragopogonis</em> (Thomson, 1877) were found on <em>Tragopogon dubius</em> Scop. (Asteraceae), while galls of the species <em>Timaspis cichorii</em> (Kieffer, 1909) were found on <em>Cichorium intybus</em> L. (Asteraceae). As these are the only findings of the indicated cynipid gall wasps in Serbia to date, they are published in the present paper. Parasitoids obtained from the collected galls of these cynipid gall wasps are also published here.

Cynipidae (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea) is a diverse group of wasps, many of which are capable of inducing plants to make novel structures, galls, that protect and nourish the wasps' larvae. Other cynipids, especially those species in Ceroptresini and Synergini, are understood to be usurpers of galls made by other cynipids. The North American cynipid fauna has not been fully cataloged since 1979, but there is renewed interest in revising the taxonomy and in doing research that sheds light on the mechanisms of gall induction, the evolution of this life history, and their ecological interactions mor

The aim of this study was to determine the total bioactive (phenolic, flavonoid and tannin) compound amounts of gall extracts, to reveal the phenolic compound contents by HPLC method and to set ground for future pharmaceutical studies.

Many species of gall wasps attack the same host plants and develop over the same periods in the season, suggesting that opportunistic parasitoids may be exploiting a range of hosts rather than specialising.

Abstract Heterogony was confirmed in the cynipid genus Cycloneuroterus Melika and Tang in rearing experiments with DNA barcoding. These experiments involved Cycloneuroterus gilvus Tang and Melika, which was previously only described from the sexual generation adult. The first rearing experiment was conducted using unidentified asexual generation females collected from Quercus gilva Blume, and gall formation by the sexual generation offspring was confirmed on folded or unfolded young leaves of Q. gilva.

Abstract:

The Israeli fauna of oak galling wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) has been studied only sporadically until recently, with a focus on only two of the five native oak species in the country. As a result, numerous cynipid species in Israel are yet to be described, in particular from the northernmost parts of the country. In the present study we describe the first cynipd species from the Mount Hermon region, which harbors rich and unique flora and fauna. This region is home to <em>Quercus cerris </em>and<em> Q. libani</em>, two oak species that occur nowhere else in the country and their associated

Analyzing the nutritional and defensive chemistry of Quercus rugosa provides insight into gall wasp interactions. Quercus rugosa is the most widely distributed white oak species in Mexico. It is the dominant canopy species in its geographic distribution range and has the largest number of associated gall wasp species (Cynipidae: Cynipini). Our main aims were to characterize the nutritional and defensive chemistry of Q. rugosa leaves and determine whether this chemistry differed between leaves with and without galls. We evaluated 60 trees from six populations of Q. rugosa in central Mexico. For

Abstract:

Abstract Gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) have fascinated researchers for centuries due to the elaborate diversity of charismatic galls they produce, the presence of unique reproductive systems (e.g., a form of cyclical parthenogenesis), the possible convergent evolution of semiparasitic gall wasp forms (i.e., “inquilines”), and their multitrophic interactions. While many classifications for gall wasps have been proposed, recent DNA sequence efforts combined with taxonomic revisions are beginning to clarify the evolutionary relationships of this group.
