Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1046-1071, November 2024.We quantified previously unstudied tritrophic gall communities on Fagaceae in Sichuan, China, testing for ‘bottom‐up’ effects of host plant diversity on plant–herbivore and plant–parasitoid interactions. We sampled 176 cynipid gall morphotypes from 23 host plant species, yielding 64 parasitoid morphospecies.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 758-787, September 2024.Monitoring invertebrates in cereal fields in southern England over 50 years (1970–2019) showed an overall decline in abundance. For taxa at the order/family level, 47% declined in abundance, 16% increased and 37% showed no change. Most functional groups declined, expect for pollinators—whose abundance did not change overall.

Plant Protection Science, 2017 During 2014-2016, damage by the oriental chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) was found on sweet chestnut trees at 4 localities in Slovakia. Dryocosmus kuriphilus is a specific plant pest on Castanea spp.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 800-810, September 2024.We found differences in parasitism rates and gall size between D. rosae populations in North America (Nearctic) and Europe (Western Palearctic). While North American populations have lower parasitism rates, suggesting decreased pressure from natural enemies, they also exhibit significantly larger gall sizes compared with their European counterparts ...

Plant Biology, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 798-810, August 2024.Gene expression in the galls induced by the sexual and asexual generation of N. quercusbaccarum and N. numismalis are more similar to each other than the alternate generation of the same species. Abstract Oak gall wasps have evolved strategies to manipulate the developmental pathways of their host to induce gall formation.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 116, Issue 3, July 2024.The larvae of the swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii (Kieffer) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), feed on the meristem of brassica crops, resulting in galls that disrupt seed and vegetable production. The salivary gland and midgut transcriptomes of third instar larvae were examined, providing evidence for cooperative extra‐oral and gastrointestinal digestion ...

Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera cynipidae) in Sardegna
, 2014 The chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus was detected in Sardinia in 2007. Two years later its biological control agent, Torymus sinensis, was released and was started the monitoring of native oak gall wasp parasitoids recruited by D. kuriphilus. Five years after its introduction the exotic parasitoid T.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 447-494, July 2024.We redefine the circumscription of Ormyridae based on a phylogenomic dataset and morphological reassessment. Based on the phylogenetic results and comparative morphological assessment, subfamilies are established for the first time. The results support the description of two new genera Halleriaphagus van Noort and Burks, gen.

Responses of the hyper‐diverse community of canopy‐dwelling Hymenoptera to oak decline
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 430-448, May 2024.Hymenoptera dwelling in oak canopies are hyper‐diverse. Forest decline reshapes the community of canopy‐dwelling Hymenoptera, and trophic and nesting guilds have contrasting responses to decline. Species relying on ground‐related resources (floral responses and soil microhabitats) are promoted by decline‐induced canopy openness. Abstract Forest decline

The Chalcidoidea bush of life: evolutionary history of a massive radiation of minute wasps
Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 34-63, February 2024.Abstract Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting. Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of a hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant to phylogenetic resolution.
