Exploring cryptic species: infestation dynamics of Acrocercops on oaks

In this project, we study the differential distribution and infestation rates of two cryptic species, Acrocercops brongniardellus and Acrocercops andreneli, on oak trees. Using COI barcoding, we delve into the complexities of species co-occurrence and the diversity of parasitoids affecting these populations.In collaboration with Ayco Tack, Tomas Roslin.
