Introductory post: I'm an entomologist/evolutionary biologist that's interested in the evolution of Hymenoptera 🐝 🐜 , in particular gall inducing/ parasitic wasps. Currently I'm a Marie Curie fellow at the University of Edinburgh, using phylogenomics 🧬 , community ecology 💻 , and morphological taxonomy 🔬 to figure out who's who, and who eats who in tritrophic systems consisting of 🌹 -> 🌹gall wasps->their natural enemies.
@ymilesz Welcome! Fascinating study subject: gall-forming parasitic wasps. Do you also touch on hyperparasites and endoparasitoids of gall wasps?

@albertcardona a little bit, but unfortunately we still don’t know much about the biology of many of the species involved.
