Oak gall wasp communities: Evolution and ecology

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2005
Summary Oak cynipids initiate the growth of highly complex galls on plants in the genus Quercus and related genera in the family Fagaceae. These galls support closed communities consisting of high diversities of gall inducers, inquilines and natural enemies.

Assessing the success of a horizon scanning approach in predicting invasive non‐native species arrival

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conclude that horizon scanning provides a rapid, affordable and successful mechanism to predict the arrival of high‐risk INNS. We highlight the importance of citizen science, including biological recording, and of local expertise for detecting and documenting arrival of INNS.

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 1-10, January 2026.
Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.

Diversity and surge in abundance of native parasitoid communities prior to the onset of Torymus sinensis on the Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) in Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary

Journal of Forest Research, 2020
Since the rapid spread of the Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW) throughout south-east Europe in the last few years, the possibilities of its control have been increasingly investigated. Due to constraints in available suppression measures in forest stands,

Evolutionary Isolation and Ecological Stasis in the Endangered Comal Springs Dryopid Beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Comal Springs dryopid beetle (Stygoparnus comalensis) (Coleoptera: Dryopidae) is an endangered, subterranean‐obligate, long‐toed water beetle known only from three spring complexes in the Edwards Aquifer region of Texas. Due to their small size and reliance on groundwater karst habitats, little is known of the biology of these beetles. The

Metatranscriptome Analysis of Fig Flowers Provides Insights into Potential Mechanisms for Mutualism Stability and Gall Induction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A striking property of the mutualism between figs and their pollinating wasps is that wasps consistently oviposit in the inner flowers of the fig syconium, which develop into galls that house developing larvae.
