MeSH headings : Animals; Host-Parasite Interactions; Phylogeny; Plants / parasitology; Wasps / genetics
TL;DR: This study generates a robust phylogenetic framework and timescale to understand cynipoid systematics and the evolution of these life histories, and establishes the framework for further physiological and comparative genomic work between gall-making, inquiline and parasitoid lineages.
