The chromosome level genome of the Blueberry Stem Gall Wasp, Hemadas nubilipennis (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae) on lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) reveals repeat-driven expansion
Gall-inducing wasps are emerging models for studying plantinsect coevolution, host manipulation, host plant adaptation, and speciation, yet chromosome-level resources remain scarce for most lineages. The blueberry stem gall wasp (BSGW), Hemadas nubilipennis (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae), is native to North America where it induces galls on both lowbush (Vaccinium angustifolium) and highbush…
