The Population Biology of Oak Gall Wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)

Annual Review of Entomology, 2002
▪ Abstract  Oak gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae, Cynipini) are characterized by possession of complex cyclically parthenogenetic life cycles and the ability to induce a wide diversity of highly complex species- and generation-specific galls on oaks and other Fagaceae.

Investigating momentum transfer with gall-forming wasps

Journal of Emerging Investigators
Neuroterus saltatorius is a gall-forming wasp species endemic to the U.S. During summer, large numbers of galls detach from oak leaves and fall to the ground. They jump several times per minute in random directions earning them the moniker "jumping galls" or “flea seeds”.

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.
