Community phylogeography of Western Palaearctic oak gallwasps and their parasitoids

Hypotheses of community assembly are tested by a genome-wide model-based analysis of three trophic levels of one community. Oak gallwasps form discrete communities of associated obligate parasitoids and inquilines. As such the system is a model for community assembly and phylogeography. In this study we test if parasitoids and an inquiline species track their host gallwasps intimately or with a period of lag. In this study, we test if parasitoids and an inquiline species track their host gallwasps intimately or with a period of lag and enjoy 'enemy free space' during periods of glacial expansion
