The advantage of attending ants and gall aggregation for the gall wasp Andricus symbioticus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)

Oecologia, 1992
Gall clusters of Andricus symbioticus secrete a sweet and sticky food attractive to ants. An ant exclusion experiment demonstrated the selective advantage of attending ants and gall aggregation for A. symbioticus. This gall wasp interacts with the gall-attending ants only through the host plant.

The Effect of Pruning on Blueberry Stem Gall Wasp

Small Fruits Review, 2004
SUMMARY The influence of commercial pruning regimes on the survival of wasps inhabiting stem galls of lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) was studied in 1999 and 2000. Three commercial fields in Nova Scotia were used to examine the effect of mow pruning on wasp survival.

A nectar-secreting gall wasp and ant mutualism: selection and counter-selection shaping gall wasp phenology, fecundity and persistence

Ecological Entomology, 1993
Abstract. The natural history of a gall wasp including interactions with inquilines, parasites, and a mutualistic ant are examined. The stability of the system is described from the perspective of influences on gall wasp life history characteristics.
