The “gall” of it all – how a latitudinal gradient in the diversity of oak gall formers contributes to the outbreak of a range-expanding species
This blog post is provided by Dylan Jones and Kirsten Prior and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Latitudinal gradient in species diversity provides high niche opportunities for a range-expanding phytophagous insect“, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study they explore how gall wasp communities vary from north to south in the United States of America, and how reduced … Continue reading The “gall” of it all – how a latitudinal gradient in the diversity of oak gall formers contributes to the outbreak of a range-expanding species
