Live oak (Quercus virginiana Mill.) trees are hosts to a complex of gall making arthropods. However, the bullet galls produced by the asexual generation of the cynipid Disholcaspis quercuscirens (Ashmead) can esthetically and physically damage nursery and street trees, and thus reduce tree value. We sought to describe the unknown sexual generation of D. quercusvirens, describe the development o...

Abstract We evaluated the diversity and spatiotemporal emergence patterns of parasitoid wasp species in genus Eurytoma Illiger (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) associated with leaf galls induced by Diplolepis variabilis Bassett Cynipidae) throughout Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada. collected D. region, recorded adult times, extracted mitochondria DNA from a subset emergents, used cytochrome...
