“…These findings refute the hypothesis that vertical zonation patterns are expected to occur regularly "because of the weak flying capacities of the gall wasps not allowing them to fly as high as the mature oak branches" (Hough, 1953). The between-tree distribution of spangle galls of N. quercusbaccarum at the SCC-site accords with the find ings of various authors who recorded an aggregated dis tribution of cynipid galls between oak trees (Askew, 1962;Rosenthal & Koehler, 1971;Hails & Crawley, 1992;Eliason & Potter, 2001). Askew (1962) reported that sexual females, which emerged from currant galls on catkins of trees outside the plantation he studied, returned to the plantation and chose the same trees as the sexual females the previous year.…”

“…13 m) corre sponded to maximum tree height or was limited by canopy access. As reported by Askew (1962) for mature trees and in this study, Eliason & Potter (2001) found that the distribution of leaf galls of the cynipid wasp Callirhytis cornigera (Osten Sacken, 1865) throughout the canopy of 20 year old Quercus palustris Muenchhausen (ca. 11m tall) did not differ.…”

“…The significant differences in spangle gall abundance between individual oak trees at the SCC site similarly suggest within-species as well as between-species host preferences in N. quercusbaccarum. The limited dispersal ability of galls wasps has been stresses repeatedly (Hough, 1953;Askew, 1984;Eliason & Potter, 2001). However, the pronounced host choice and colonization of the entire canopy by the adults that emerge from the forest-floor indicates that N. quercus baccarum has effective dispersal capabilities.…”

Abstract. Despite their wide distribution and frequent occurrence, the spatial distribution patterns of the well-known gall-inducing insects Mikiola fagi (Hartig) and Neuroterus quercusbaccarum (L.) in the canopies of mature trees are poorly described. We made use of the Swiss Canopy Crane (SCC) near Basel, Switzerland, to gain access to the canopy of a mixed temperate forest up to a height of 35 m. Within one and a half days we scanned 6,750 beech leaves and 6,000 oak leaves. M. fagi showed a distinct vertical zonation with highest abundance in the top-most parts of the canopy as well as a significant aggregation on particular trees. N. quer cusbaccarum showed an even more pronounced preference for particular trees and a general preference for Quercus robur over Q. petraea. In contrast to M. fagi, no vertical zonation could be detected. We think that both gall-inducing species have greater powers of dispersal than formerly assumed since they overwinter on the forest floor and yet are able to 1) gain access to the entire canopy, 2) show preference for certain host trees. We found little evidence for the phenological synchrony hypothesis proposed to explain the intertree distribution of N. quercusbaccarum. The highest density of M. fagi galls was in those parts of the canopy exposed to high solar radiation; their host choice is probably determined by micro-climatological factors. The consequences of the distribution pat terns of N. quercusbaccarum and M. fagi for their ecological interactions with the host-plant, inquilines and parasitoids (e.g., canopy-layer specific performance linked to plant chemistry, density-dependent parasitism) need now to be subjected to further sci entific investigation.

“…Species of the genus Eurytoma can be gallers (Askew & BlascoZumeta 1998), parasitoids (De Santis & Fernandes 1989;Edwards 1998;Eliason & Potter 2001;Georgiev & Stojanova 2003;Johannesen & Seitz 2003), hyperparasitoids (Tagawa & Fukushima 1993), or even gall inquilines (Roininen et al 1996;Hayman et al 2003). Yet in some cases Eurytoma species may have both an entomophagous and phytophagous behavior.…”

A ndricus quercuslaurinus Melika & Pujade-Villar (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) is a gall wasp from the branches (asexual reproduction) and leaves (sexual reproduction) of the Quercus affinis Scheidw. oak in Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo, Mexico. Severe infestations on the leaves cause a delay in growth and, given time, the death of trees with large levels of damage. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the pesticides Imidacloprid, Spirotetramat, Acephate and Abamectin when applied through foliar spray on the adult population of wasps that oviposit on the leaves, as well as on the eggs and larvae of the oak galls. Acephate prevented oviposition on the treated foliage. The least number of oak galls was found on the trees treated with Acephate; furthermore, they had no larvae. On the other hand, Spirotetramat had not been evaluated for the control of Cynipidae; alongside Imidacloprid, these pesticides were effective in reducing the survival of eggs and larvae. Spraying the pesticides Acephate (1.20 kg·ha ) on Q. affinis foliage are options to be considered for the control of A. quercuslaurinus given their significant effects (P = 0.05) on the mortality of the eggs with regard to the control. ResumenA ndricus quercuslaurinus Melika y Pujade-Villar (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) es una avispa agalladora de ramas (generación asexual) y hojas (generación sexual) del encino Quercus affinis Scheidw. en Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo, México. Las infestaciones severas en ramas causan retraso del crecimiento y, eventualmente, la mortalidad de árboles que tienen niveles altos de daño. En este trabajo se evaluó la efectividad de los insecticidas Imidacloprid, Espirotetramat, Acefato y Abamectina aplicados mediante aspersión foliar sobre la población de avispas adultas que ovipositan en las hojas, así como sobre los huevos y larvas en las agallas. El Acefato evitó la oviposición sobre el follaje tratado. El menor número de agallas se encontró en los árboles tratados con Acefato; además, no tuvieron larvas. Por otra parte, el Espirotetramat no había sido evaluado para el control de cinípidos y junto con el Imidacloprid fueron efectivos para reducir la supervivencia de huevos y larvas. La aspersión de los insecticidas Acefato (1.20 kg·ha ) al follaje de Q. affinis son opciones a considerar para el control de A. quercuslaurinus, debido a los efectos significativos (P = 0.05) en la mortalidad de huevos con respecto al testigo.
