    The Structure of Cynipid Oak Galls: Patterns in the Evolution of an Extended Phenotype

    The structure of cynipid oak galls: patterns in the evolution of an extended phenotype Graham N. Stone1* and James M. Cook2 1Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK ([email protected]) 2Department of Biology, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7PY, UK Galls are highly specialized plant tissues whose development is induced by another organism. The most complex and diverse galls are those induced on oak trees by gallwasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cyni- pini), each species inducing a characteristic gall structure. Debate continues over the possible adaptive signi¢cance of gall structural traits; some protect the gall inducer from attack by natural enemies, although the adaptive signi¢cance of others remains undemonstrated. Several gall traits are shared by groups of oak gallwasp species. It remains unknown whether shared traits represent (i) limited divergence from a shared ancestral gall form, or (ii) multiple cases of independent evolution. Here we map gall character states onto a molecular phylogeny of the oak cynipid genus Andricus, and demonstrate three features of the evolution of gall structure: (i) closely related species generally induce galls of similar structure; (ii) despite this general pattern, closely related species can induce markedly di¡erent galls; and (iii) several gall traits (the presence of many larval chambers in a single gall structure, surface resins, surface spines and internal air spaces) of demonstrated or suggested adaptive value to the gallwasp have evolved repeatedly. We discuss these results in the light of existing hypotheses on the adaptive signi¢cance of gall structure. Keywords: galls; Cynipidae; enemy-free space; extended phenotype; Andricus layers of woody or spongy tissue, complex air spaces within 1.

A key to the genera of Hoplapoderini and field observations on the host plant and reproductive behaviour of the new species are provided. Key words: Attelabidae, Apoderinae, Hoplapoderini, Madagascar, new genus, new species, Grewia Introduction In May 2002, among specimens of Attelabidae collected in Madagascar by David Hauck some months earlier, I received two males belonging to the apoderine tribe Hoplapoderini that could not be assigned to any known genus. A study of the rich collection of Madagascan attelabids at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, a few months later confirmed this diagnosis. During a month-long collecting expedition in Madagascar in December 2003 and January 2004, I collected the new taxon again, at a different locality, and could carry out some observations on its behaviour. Systematics Tribe Hoplapoderini Voss, 1926 Voss (1926) defined his tribe Hoplapoderini largely on the basis of features of the head and elytra. The new Madagascan genus fits into this tribe due to its tapered head, with maximum width near the basis, and its tuberculate elytra. Voss also provided a key to the Accepted by Q. Wang: 7 Oct. 2005; published: 2 Dec. 2005 37 ZOOTAXA genera of the tribe, but this is largely inadequate because of its heavy reliance on the 1089 presence and shape of what he called “abdominal lobes” (“Abdominallappen”).

    Newsletter 41 January 2021 Lockdown Special - Species to look for in Cerodontha iridis Winter: Dip: Agromyzidae: Agromyzid larvae can still be found actively feeding during the winter and careful searching may also reveal those pupariating inside stems. Cerodontha iridis (Hendel, 1927) This leaf miner of iris species forms large conspicuous blotch mines which have a mottled appearance. It looks rather as if someone has tried to whitewash a leaf with a dirty paint brush! A good miner to look for in supermarket car parks, parks and gardens. Map © National Agromyzidae Recording Scheme Phytomyza hellebori Kaltenbach, 1872: This miner is found in Helleborus species, mostly in Stinking Hellbore (Helleborus foetidus), and is a good species to look for in your gardens and also in parks. The mines develop throughout the winter and are initially black and linear. As they develop they may form a blotch and then whiten as they age. The mines are very visible and several may Photo ©Rob Edmunds develop in a leaf. It was first discovered in the UK in 2000 and is Its current distribution is shown: spreading into the West and North from the southern counties. 1 Ragwort stems may hold a variety of puparia such as Melanagromyza aeneoventris (Fallén, 1823), Melanagromyza dettmeri Hering, 1933, Melanagromyza eupatorii Spencer, 1957 and Melanagromyza oligophaga Spencer, 1990. This Ragwort stem has been mined by Melanagromyza eupatorii and has the puparium in situ: Photo ©Rob Edmunds Phytomyza hellebori Carefully collect some stems and split from the bottom upwards. Take care that any puparia found do not ‘ping’ out of the stems as you open them up! Puparia, if present, are tiny cigar-shaped objects with very distinctive hooked posterior spiracles.

The galls support species-rich, closed communities of inquilines and parasitoids that have become a model system in community ecology. We review recent advances in the ecology of oak cynipids, with particular emphasis on life cycle characteristics and the dynamics of the interactions between host plants, gall wasps, and natural enemies. We assess the importance of gall traits in structuring oak cynipid communities and summarize the evidence for bottom-up and top-down effects across trophic levels.

The mine was lower surface, with the frass piled at one end of the mine (right photo) It was obviously a Phyllonorycter species and should have been Phyllonorycter comparella a known leaf miner on this host in the UK.

John Langmaid was contacted and thought that the mine was probably Phyllonorycter salictella, as he had bred this species from P.alba previously. This has a cremaster similar to the one Martin found. The pupa is viable and will hopefully be bred out to identify the species. A return visit to the site where this mine was found confirmed the presence of Sallows (Salix caprea) nearby. This finding emphasises the need for caution in identifying Phyllonorycter species on Populus. The moths ideally should be bred out to confirm identity .
