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 insects are important models for studying plant-feeding lifestyle evolution, but genomic resources remain scarce. We present the first chromosome-level genome for the blueberry stem gall wasp (Hemadas nubilipennis), a native North American species now reaching outbreak densities on cultivated highbush blu...
