The effects of a new gall midge in the Panamanian fig/fig wasp mutualism [PDF]
, 2022 The mutualism between the fig tree and the fig wasp pollinator is an important keystone interaction for tropical forests. However, many antagonistic and parasitic species take advantage of the fig/fig wasp mutualism.

Effect of Cardinal Directions on Gall Morphology and Parasitization of the Gall Wasp,Cynips quercusfolii [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2011 This survey investigated the relationship between gall morphology and some fitness components in the asexual generation of Cynips quercusfolii L. (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae). Results showed that larger C. quercusfolii galls were formed on the south side of oak trees Quercus infectoria Olivier (Fagales: Fagaceae).

A comparative venomic fingerprinting approach reveals that galling and non-galling fig wasp species have different venom profiles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The galling habit represents a complex type of interaction between insects and plants, ranging from antagonism to mutualism. The obligate pollination mutualism between Ficus and fig wasps relies strongly on the induction of galls in Ficus flowers, where ...

Unexpected Evolutionary Divergence of Tachykinin-Positive Neurons Innervating the Central Complex in Hexapods. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolThe central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.
