Comparative studies on antennal sensillar equipment in insects are largely lacking, despite their potential to provide insights into both ecological and phylogenetic relationships. Here we present the first comparative study on antennal morphology and sensillar equipment in female Cynipoidea (Hymenoptera), a large and diverse group of wasps, with special reference to the so-called gall-wasps (C...

Palaearctic species of Periclistus Förster has been systematically described, but a new inquiline gall-wasp, Periclistus qinghainensis sp. n., is described from China. This species was obtained from an unknown stem gall induced on Rosa sp. Diagnosis, distribution and biology of the new species are described in this paper. After examining the types of Periclistus idoneus Belizin, 1973 and Pericl...

Nests of the termite Constrictotermes sp. can be cohabited by obligatory inquilines Inquilinitermes Recent studies have shown that establish themselves in mature nests, possibly during nidification transition phase colony (e.g., from epigeal to arboreal habit). It is believed cohabitation maintained through spatial segregation cohabitants since aggregate central nest region. Here, we described ...

Zoological Studies 51(2): 175-184. Plant-mediated interactions usually lead to multipartite interactions in a community of organisms. To evaluate the impact of oak powdery mildew Erysiphe ...
