“…sinensis is native to China and is the only parasitoid of D. kuriphilus known to be host specific and phenologically well adapted to the biology of its host [6,16,17,23,26,27]. The parasitoid has one generation per year, as its host, which is quite different to other native polyphagous parasitoid species that are present in the new invaded areas of D. kuriphilus.…”

“…sinensis tracks the expanding populations of D. kuriphilus [16,25]. During the early years of the release, population of T. sinensis will disperse very slowly and, over the years, the dispersion will be faster and exponential.…”

“…These results additionally confirmed the host specificity of T. sinensis. Torymus sinensis was introduced to the USA in late 70s [16], to Japan in 1979 (reviewed in Aebi et al [5]), to Italy in 2004 [24]. However, no other host than D. kuriphilus was ever mentioned in the literature to be parasitized by introduced T. sinensis [38].…”

“…Although within its native range in China D. kuriphilus populations are kept at low densities by natural enemies, in Japan, South Korea, the USA, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, France and Switzerland the attack rates of indigenous parasitoid species are low (typically less than 2%) [5,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The parasitoid complex which trophically associates with oak gallwasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Cynipini) in Europe adapted to the native hosts and parasitoids' phenology differs from that of D. kuriphilus and thus these species cannot effectively regulate the population density of the new invasive cynipid, D. kuriphilus [20].…”

“…Classical biological control using parasitoid Torymus sinensis Kamijo (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) has been proven to be the only effective method of controlling the populations of D. kuriphilus and has been successfully applied in Japan, South Korea, the USA and Italy [6,16,[22][23][24][25].…”

Gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) are phytophagous insects that often go unnoticed; however, when they are introduced to a new area or released from their natural enemies, they have the capacity to outbreak and cause extensive foliar damage. One such outbreaking pest, Zapatella davisae (Cynipidae: Cynipini), causes significant damage and mortality to black oak, Quercus velutina, in the northeastern United States. In this study, we aimed to identify the parasitoid community associated with Z. davisae, compare differences in percent parasitism of Z. davisae in Cape Cod and Long Island, and determine which parasitoid species contribute most to parasitism in each region. From both locations, we reared parasitoids, identified morphological groups, analyzed percent parasitism rates for each group, and used DNA barcoding to provide species‐level identifications. On Long Island, there was nearly 100% parasitism in 2015 followed by a near total collapse of the population in 2016. In contrast, parasitism rates were lower and remained consistent on Cape Cod between 2015 and 2016, which may explain the greater canopy damage observed in that region. Species of Sycophila were the dominant parasitoids, with one species Sycophila nr. novascotiae representing ~65% of reared parasitoids from Long Island, and two species of Sycophila (S. nr. novascotiae and S. foliatae) with near equal representations on Cape Cod. In order to manage an insect pest, it is important to understand factors that influence its mortality and survival. An understanding of how these infestations progress overtime can help predict the impact that newer infestations in Nantucket, MA, and coastal Rhode Island will have on black oak populations and will aid in the management of this rapidly spreading gall wasp pest.
