TL;DR: Little evidence is found of anatomical structures that could facilitate chemical communication between the gall-inducer embryo and the surrounding plant tissue through the thick eggshell and the enormous venom glands and reservoirs suggest that the adult female plays a significant role in gall induction by injecting secretions into the host plant when laying eggs.

TL;DR: The size and composition of the Swedish insect fauna, thought to represent roughly half of the diversity of multicellular life in one of the largest European countries, is reported on, and it is suggested that it comprises around 33,000 species.

TL;DR: A Bayesian approach for inferring coevolutionary history based on a model accommodating the complexities of the host ranges of parasites, which suggests that host ranges often include more than one host and evolve via gains and losses of hosts rather than through cospeciation alone.

TL;DR: The Next Generation Biodiversity Monitoring (NGBM) Symposium as discussed by the authors was held in Nicosia (Cyprus) in 2019, which brought together evolutionary geneticists, ecologists and biodiversity scientists involved in diverse regional and global initiatives using HTS as a core tool for biodiversity assessment.

TL;DR: Svenska Malaisefalleprojektet, eller hur manga arter steklar, flugor och myggor finns i Sverige?
