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.

Synergus umbraculus (Hymenoptera: Cynipiade: Synergini) filogeográfiája a Nyugat-Palearktikumban = Phylogeography of Synergus umbraculus (Hymenoptera: Cynipiade: Synergini) in the Western Palearctic region [PDF]
Célunk betekintést nyerni a Nyugat-Palearktikus tölgy gubacsdarázs társbérlők (Cynipidae, Synergini) differenciálódásának természetébe. Elvégeztük a Synergini molekuláris filogenetikai rekonstrukcióját magi és mitokondriális DNS szekvenciák alapján ...

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.

Brown rot on nuts of Castanea sativa Mill: an emerging disease and its causal agent
The quality and quantity of nut production are fundamental to the economic viability of chestnut cultivation, yet recent reports indicate that severe damage due to moulds represents a significant problem for growers.

Interactions between invasive pests and pathogens in a native chestnut forest [PDF]
The introduction in the same area of different invasive species can result in novel interactions, with unpredictable consequences. We carried out a study in Galicia (northwestern Iberian Peninsula) with the aim of clarifying the interactions between two ...

While populations of the Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu), an invasive pest affecting the European chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller), have started to be controlled biologically, this pest still conditions chestnut tree ...

Gall Structure Affects Ecological Associations ofDryocosmus kuriphilus(Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) [PDF]
Gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) induce structures (galls) on their host plants that house developing wasps and provide them with protection from natural enemies. The Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, is an invasive pest that is destructive to chestnut (Castanea spp.).

Biological control of invasive Dryocosmus kuriphilus with introduced parasitoid Torymus sinensis in Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary [PDF]
Background and purpose: Dryocosmus kuriphilus is considered as one of the major pests of sweet chestnut and the effective method of controlling its populations and damage is the biological control with its introduced parasitoid Torymus sinensis.
