Synergini
Synergini is a tribe (biology), tribe of gall wasps in the subfamily Cynipinae. Genera The following genera are generally accepted within Synergini: * ''Agastoroxenia'' * ''Lithosaphonecrus'' * ''Saphonecrus'' * ''Rhoophilus'' * ''Synergus'' * ''Ufo (genus), Ufo'' All of these except ''Lithosaphonecrus'' and ''Rhoophilus'' are found in the eastern Palearctic realm. ''Synergus'' has the greatest number of species in Synergini. A reworking of the entire Cynipidae family published in 2015 transferred three genera formerly included in Synergini to other tribes - ''Ceroptres'' to a tribe of its own (Ceroptresini), and ''Periclistus'' and ''Synophromorpha'' to Diastrophini. Gall use Members of Synergini have lost the ability to create their own galls, and instead make use of galls left behind by other wasps. As a result, they are classified as inquilines.Melika G, Ros-Farré P, Pénzes Z, Ács Z, Pujade-Villar J 2005Ufo abei Melika et Pujade-Villar (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: ...

Ufo (genus)
''Ufo'' is a genus of gall wasps in the tribe (biology), tribe Synergini, first discovered in Japan.Melika G, Ros-Farré P, Pénzes Z, Ács Z, Pujade-Villar J 2005Ufo abei Melika et Pujade-Villar (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Synergini) new genus and new species from Japan.Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 51 (4), 313–327. Its genus name ''Ufo'' comes from the common phrase "unidentified flying object", in this case applied because the researchers did not know what the wasp was when they first saw it. Genera Four species are currently classified within ''Ufo''.Melika, George & Tang, Chang-Ti & Yang, Man-Miao & Bihari, Péter & Bozsó, Miklós & Pénzes, Zsolt & Yang, Miao.

Cynipidae
Gall wasps, also incorrectly called gallflies, are hymenopterans of the family Cynipidae in the wasp superfamily Cynipoidea. Their common name comes from the galls they induce on plants for larval development. About 1,300 species of this generally very small creature (1–8 mm) are known worldwide, with about 360 species of 36 different genera in Europe and some 800 species in North America. Features Like all Apocrita, gall wasps have a distinctive body shape, the so-called wasp waist. The first abdominal tergum (the propodeum) is conjoined with the thorax, while the second abdominal segment forms a sort of shaft, the petiole. The petiole connects with the gaster, which is the functional abdomen in apocritan wasps, starting with the third abdominal segment proper. Together, the petiole and the gaster form the metasoma, while the thorax and the propodeum make up the mesosoma. The antennae are straight and consist of two or three segments. In many varieties, the backside ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cynipinae
Cynipinae is a subfamily of Gall wasp, gall wasps (Cynipidae). Many of the approximately 1,500 described species cause Gall, galls on Oak, oaks, but some induce galls on other plant species or are Inquiline, inquilines of the gall-inducing species. Species occur on all continents except Antarctica, with most found in the Temperate climate, temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, northern hemisphere. All Extant taxon, extant cynipid species are within Cynipinae since the only other recognized subfamily is Hodiernocynipinae which is based on the fossil genus ''Hodiernocynips''. Tribes There are 12 Tribe (biology), tribes currently recognized within Cynipinae: * Aylacini * Aulacideini * Ceroptresini * Cynipini, Cynipini (oak gall wasps) * Diastrophini * Diplolepidini, Diplolepidini (rose gall wasps) * Eschatocerini * Paraulacini * Pediaspidini * Phanacidini * Qwaqwaiini * Synergini References Cynipidae {{wasp-stub Hymenoptera subfamilies ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Inquiline
In zoology, an inquiline (from Latin ''inquilinus'', "lodger" or "tenant") is an animal that lives commensally in the nest, burrow, or dwelling place of an animal of another species. For example, some organisms such as insects may live in the homes of gophers or the garages of humans and feed on debris, fungi, roots, etc. The most widely distributed types of inquiline are those found in association with the nests of social insects, especially ants and termites – a single colony may support dozens of different inquiline species. The distinctions between parasites, social parasites, and inquilines are subtle, and many species may fulfill the criteria for more than one of these, as inquilines do exhibit many of the same characteristics as parasites. However, parasites are specifically ''not'' inquilines, because by definition they have a deleterious effect on the host species, while inquilines have not been confirmed to do so. In the specific case of termites, the term "'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gall
Galls (from the Latin , 'oak-apple') or ''cecidia'' (from the Greek , anything gushing out) are a kind of swelling growth on the external tissues of plants, fungi, or animals. Plant galls are abnormal outgrowths of plant tissues, similar to benign tumors or warts in animals. They can be caused by various parasites, from viruses, fungi and bacteria, to other plants, insects and mites. Plant galls are often highly organized structures so that the cause of the gall can often be determined without the actual agent being identified. This applies particularly to some insect and mite plant galls. The study of plant galls is known as cecidology. In human pathology, a gall is a raised sore on the skin, usually caused by chafing or rubbing. Causes of plant galls Insects and mites Insect galls are the highly distinctive plant structures formed by some herbivorous insects as their own microhabitats. They are plant tissue which is controlled by the insect. Galls act as both the habitat a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
