Cynipini
Tribe of wasps
Cynipini is a tribe of gall wasps . These insects induce galls in plants of the beech and oak family, Fagaceae .[ 1] oak gall wasps .[ 2] [ 3] [ 2] [ 2] Holarctic .[ 3]
Cynipini wasps can act as ecosystem engineers . Their galls can become hosts of inquilines , and the wasps themselves are hosts to parasitoids .[ 4]
Most of these wasps undergo cyclical parthenogenesis , sometimes reproducing sexually , and sometimes producing young without fertilization.[ 2] [ 5]
Genera
Gall induced on Pyrenean oak Quercus pyrenaica Andricus kollari Gall induced by Callirhytis quercuspunctata Amphibolips quercusinanis
