Despite their wide distribution across the Holarctic, little is known about their evolutionary history. Here we present the first phylogenomic tree of global Diplolepis reconstructed using Ultraconserved Elements (UCEs), resulting in a robust phylogeny based on 757 genes. Results support the existence of two principal clades: a Nearctic stem-galler Glade, and a Holarctic leaf-galler Glade that further splits into two Palearctic groups and one Nearctic group. This topology is congruent with a previous study based on the mitochondrial gene COI, an unexpected result given the common occurrence of mitonuclear discordance in closely related oak gall wasp lineages. Most Diplolepis species were recovered as reciprocally monophyletic, with some notable exceptions such as the D. polita and the D. ignota complex, for which species boundaries remain unresolved. Historical biogeographic reconstruction was unable to pinpoint the origin of Diplolepis, but confirms two independent incursions into the Nearctic. Ancestral state reconstruction analysis highlights the conservatism of gall location on the host plants, as shifts to different host organs are relatively rare. We suggest that Diplolepis were originally leaf gallers, with a Nearctic stem-galler Glade undergoing a major plant organ switch onto rose stems. Host organ switch or reversal is uncommon, which suggests a level of conservatism. Our study showcases the resolving power of UCEs at the species level while also suggesting improvements to advance future Cynipoidea phylogenomics. Our results also highlight the additional sampling needed to clarify taxonomic relationships in the Nearctic and eastern Palearctic regions.}, keywords = {biogeography; gall wasp; Ancestral state reconstruction; ULTRACONSERVED ELEMENTS; target capture; phylogenomic}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1095-9513} } @article{MTMT:31551917, title = {A new Diplolepis Geoffroy (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Diplolepidini) species from China: a rare example of a rose gall-inducer of economic significance}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31551917}, author = {Pujade-Villar, Juli and Wang, Yiping and Zhang, Wenli and Mata-Casanova, Noel and Lobato-Vila, Irene and Denes, Avar-Lehel and László, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3897/zookeys.904.46547}, journal-iso = {ZOOKEYS}, journal = {ZOOKEYS}, unique-id = {31551917}, issn = {1313-2989}, abstract = {A new specks of the genus Diplolepis Geoffroy, Diplolepis abei Pujade-Villar & Wang sp. nov. is described on host plant Rosa sertata Rolfe x R. rugosa Thunb. from China with an integrative approach based on molecular and morphological data.

Odonata (both dragonflies and damselflies) are especially threatened by the destruction of both aquatic and terrestrial environment. Moreover, effects of large-scale habitat heterogeneity on Odonata assemblages are poorly studied. In a two years study along East-European lowland watercourses both aquatic and terrestrial environment were studied to reveal the importance of local (e.g. water depth, macrovegetation cover, etc.) and landscape-scale (e.g. farmland patch size, forest patch proportion, etc.) variables to Odonata (as well as to dragonflies and damselflies separately) through increasing spatial sampling scales. The specimens were sampled using 500 m long transects from May to September. Results, both on local and landscape scales emphasized the importance of terrestrial environment on Odonata. Local variables influence damselflies, while dragonflies are more sensitive to landscape variables. Damselfly's diversity decreased with increasing macrovegetation cover, while dragonfly's diversity decreased with the increasing degree of land use intensification, but increased with the length of watercourses. It is thus vital to stress the importance of partial watercourse clearing, and moderate maintenance of traditional farm management based on small parcel farming near watercourses to maintain diverse and healthy Odonata assemblages.}, year = {2019}, eissn = {2045-2322} } @misc{MTMT:30754228, title = {Phylogeny of Holarctic gall wasps of the genera Diplolepis and Periclistus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) based on DNA barcodes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30754228}, author = {Yuanmeng, Miles Zhang and László, Zoltán and Chris, Looney and Avar-Lehel, Denes and Robert, H Hanner and Joseph, D Shorthouse}, doi = {10.1101/530949}, unique-id = {30754228}, year = {2019} } @article{MTMT:30374355, title = {Biased parasitoid sex ratios: Wolbachia, functional traits, local and landscape effects}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30374355}, author = {László, Zoltán and Denes, Avar-Lehel and Kiraly, Lajos and Tóthmérész, Béla}, doi = {10.1016/j.baae.2018.05.014}, journal-iso = {BASIC APPL ECOL}, journal = {BASIC AND APPLIED ECOLOGY}, volume = {31}, unique-id = {30374355}, issn = {1439-1791}, abstract = {Adult sex ratio (ASR) is a key demographic parameter, being essential for the survival and dynamics of populations. Biased ASRs are adaptations to the environment on different scales, resulting from different mechanisms such as inbreeding, mating behaviour, resource limitations, endosymbionts such as Wolbachia, and changes in density or spatial distribution. Parasitoid ASRs are known to be strongly biased, but little information is available on how they are affected by large-scale variables such as landscape composition or fragmentation. We examined whether landscape scale variables affect the ASR of several parasitoid species belonging to the same tritrophic gall inducer community. We examined the effects of various explanatory variables on parasitoid ASR: the ovipositor length (a species level functional trait), resource amount (gall size) and density (local scale) as well as habitat amount, land use and landscape history (landscape scale). We controlled for the incidence and prevalence of Wolbachia infections. We found that parasitoid ASR is best explained by and positively correlated with ovipositor length and gall diameter. The interaction of functional traits with habitat availability also significantly explained parasitoid ASRs. Our results support the hypothesis that large-scale environmental characteristics affect parasitoid ASRs in addition to intrinsic and local characteristics. (C) 2018 Gesellschaft fur Okologie.
