Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Galls started growing after wasp oviposition on young oak leaves.
- Observation Wasp oviposition occurred principally in spring and adults emerged in autumn.
- Observation Gall counts per oak ranged from one to more than ten, averaging 4.88±2.4.
- Observation Gall abundance differed significantly among three local oak populations.
- Observation Wasp survival was below 35% in oak galls.
- Association Larger oak galls were positively associated with wasp survival.
- Mechanism The authors suggest climate and physiography directly restrict gall abundance and distribution.
