Chromosomes of Belonocnema treatae Mayr, 1881 (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae)
Chromosomes of the asexual and sexual generation of the gall wasp Belonocnematreatae Mayr, 1881 (Cynipidae) were analyzed. Females of both generations have 2n = 20, whereas males of the sexual generation have n = 10. Cyclical deuterotoky is therefore confirmed in this species. All chromosomes are acrocentric and form a continuous gradation in size. This karyotype structure is probably ancestral...
متن کاملGall structure affects ecological associations of Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae).
Gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) induce structures (galls) on their host plants that house developing wasps and provide them with protection from natural enemies. The Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, is an invasive pest that is destructive to chestnut (Castanea spp.). An improved understanding of the interactions among D. kuriphilus, its host, and its natural enemie...
متن کاملThe population biology of oak gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae).
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. The galls support species-rich, closed communities of inquilines and parasitoids that have become a model system in community ecology. We...
متن کاملGenerational shape shifting: changes in egg shape and size between sexual and asexual generations of a cyclically parthenogenic gall former
Successive generations of multivoltine species experience selection specific to the spatiotemporal environments encountered that may lead to adaptive divergence in reproductive traits among generations. To compare reproductive effort within and between generations, appropriate volumetric models, selected on the basis of the analysis of egg shape, are required to estimate the sizes (volumes) of ...
متن کاملRevision of the Neotropical genus Eschatocerus Mayr (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Eschatocerini) with biological notes and the first description of the terminal larva.
The gall wasp genus Eschatocerus (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Eschatocerini), a cynipid genus of gall inducers on Prosopis and Acacia species (Fabaceae), endemic to southern South America, is revised. Complete descriptions of the external morphology of the genus and its three known species, illustrated with scanning electron photographs, are given for the first time, and an updated key for the iden...
