Can galls evolve toward a simpler morphology: a test of disruptive selection on gall morphology driven by parasitoid wasp [PDF]
Gall evolution is not a one-way path. Our investigations revealed that a chestnut gall wasp employed contrasting defense strategies: simple galls use camouflage to evade detection, while complex galls sacrifice their outer layer to protect the core ...

Interaction of European Chalcidoid Parasitoids with the Invasive Chestnut Gall Wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus [PDF]
, 2017 Insect herbivores and their parasitoids are estimated to comprise between one and two thirds of all multicellular life on earth. Insect herbivores are key primary consumers, and occupy economically important roles as agricultural pollinators and pests.

What is Femuros (Cynipidae: Cynipini)?
Revista Mexicana de BiodiversidadThe North American oak gall wasp genus Femuros Kinsey is revised after its re-establishment in 2015. Morphological evidence suggests that only 3 species described by Kinsey belong to this genus: F. repandae Kinsey, F. ocri Kinsey, and F. ruidum Kinsey.
