Description
Summary:Oak gall wasps (Cynipidae: Cynipini: <i>Plagiotrochus</i>) that induce galls on <i>Quercus</i> reproduce by alternate sexual and parthenogenetic generations (Pujade Villar et al., 2001). However, a few species are obligatory parthenogenetic (Abe, 1998) or show the facultative alternation of generations (Folliot, 1964). <i>(Párrafo extraído del texto a modo de resumen)</i>
