The Neuroptera - Suborder Planipennia of Wisconsin Part III - Mantispidae, Ascalaphidae, Myrmeleontidae and Coniopterygidae [PDF]

, 2017
This part concludes the Neuroptera-Suborder Planipennia of Wisconsin. In Parts I and I1 (Throne 1971a, b) no keys to the species were included because satisfactory keys were readily available.

Phylogeny, Evolution and Classification of Gall Wasps: The Plot Thickens

PLOS ONE, 2015
Gall wasps (Cynipidae) represent the most spectacular radiation of gall-inducing insects. In addition to true gall formers, gall wasps also include phytophagous inquilines, which live inside the galls induced by gall wasps or other insects. Here we present the first comprehensive molecular and total-evidence analyses of higher-level gall wasp ...

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 Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Surprisingly Little Population Genetic Structure In A Fungus-Associated Beetle Despite Its Exploitation Of Multiple Hosts [PDF]

, 2013
In heterogeneous environments, landscape features directly affect the structure of genetic variation among populations by functioning as barriers to gene flow.

High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

Bottom–up and top–down diversification: asymmetric processes over space and time

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Coevolution in trophic interactions is often considered as a major factor underlying diversification in interacting species. Most focus hitherto has however been on bottom–up processes where host‐associated differentiation drives diversification, and less on top–down processes through enemy‐associated differentiation.

Invasive chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), its native parasitoid community and association with oak gall wasps in Slovenia

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
The Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW), Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), is a global pest of chestnut trees. This pest was first recorded in Slovenia in 2005.

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.

Chromosomes of Belonocnema treatae Mayr, 1881 (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae)

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2015
Chromosomes of the asexual and sexual generation of the gall wasp Belonocnema treatae Mayr, 1881 (Cynipidae) were analyzed. Females of both generations have 2n = 20, whereas males of the sexual generation have n = 10.
