Parallel and Nonparallel Patterns of Genetic Co-Differentiation: Evidence for Host Associated Differentiation Among Trophic Levels of the Oak Gall Wasp System
… expresses HAD. Belonocnema treatae (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) induces galls on three species of live oak (Quercus) across the southern USA. Both HAD and geography structure genomic variation among host associated populations of B. treatae. The generalist inquiline parasitoid, Synergus sp. …

Effects of Prior Defoliation on the Timing of Life Cycle Events and Susceptibility to Natural Enemies of a Host Specific Gall-Former
… gall-former, Belonocnema treatae (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) that develops within and emerges from leaf galls on Quercus fusiformis, a live oak endemic to the Edwards Plateau region of central Texas. Comparisons of these patterns document an apparent shift in the timing of B. treatae emergence …

Host Plant and Spatial Influences on the Natural Enemy Community Structure of a Host Specific Insect Herbivore
… produced by Belonocnema treatae (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on the leaves of its host plants across the gall former's geographic range while controlling for spatial autocorrelation among sample sites. Belonocnema treatae exhibits regional host plant specialization across the southern US on three …

Community Structure of Parasitoids Attacking Leaf Galls of Belonocnema treatae on Quercus fusiformis
… phytophage, Belonocnema treatae (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) which induces leaf galls on Quercus fusiformis. Four specific objectives are examined: 1) determining the diversity and relative abundance of the parasitoid community members, 2) defining the specific niche dimensions of each parasitoid …
