Kinsey was the world expert on gall wasps before he turned to human sexuality."

As he had with gall wasps, Kinsey drove for quantity from the beginning of his researches into sexual behavior.

Gall wasps of the family Cynipidae produce a single sexual generation within a structure that resembles an apple.

Therefore, as with most oak gall wasps, this species has alternate sexual and parthenogenetic (all female) generations.

Examples of the inquiline relation are known especially among the gall wasps (Cynipidae family).

Of the more than 18 million insects in the museum's collection, some 5 million are gall wasps collected by Kinsey.

Like all Apocrita, gall wasps have a distinctive body shape, the so-called wasp waist.

Exploring the scientific literature, he discovered that human sexuality was terra incognita, much as gall wasps had been.

Cynips is a genus of gall wasps.

Kinsey grew an immense garden, wrote a textbook and traveled the United States collecting gall wasps.

Kinsey chose to do his doctoral thesis on gall wasps, and began zealously collecting samples of the species.

Andricus is a genus of gall wasps in the family Cynipidae, comprising the following species:

Aphids, grasshoppers and gall wasps appeared.

He also spent 15 years researching gall wasps and was a serious gardener, hiker, and record collector.)

They include the gall wasps, scales, gall midges, aphids, and psyllids.

Other species of gall wasps live in eucalyptus trees, rose bushes or maple trees, as well as many herbs.

It then shows Kinsey teaching at Indiana University as a professor of biology lecturing on gall wasps.

Before his work in human sexuality, Dr. Alfred Kinsey was known for his study of gall wasps.

Later, he received a doctorate in biology at Harvard, then joined the University of Indiana faculty as a zoologist who studied gall wasps.

Many are gallflies, others are parasitic on insects.

Gall wasps, also called gallflies, are a family (Cynipidae) of the order Hymenoptera and are classified with the Apocrita suborder of wasps in the superfamily Cynipoidea.

It is also commonly found hosting galls created by wasps in the family Cynipidae.

Diplolepis is a gall wasp genus in the family Cynipidae.

Gall wasps of the family Cynipidae produce a single sexual generation within a structure that resembles an apple.

He worked on all Hymenoptera but mainly Cynipidae.

Many species of Cynipidae were described by von Schlechtendal or their generation sequence was clarified.

He worked principally on the taxonomy of the Cynipidae, the Cicadellidae and the Aphidoidea.

The Maacynips papuana is a type of Gall wasp in the family Cynipidae.

"Cynipidae," he announced.

New British species, corrections of nomenclature, etc. (Cynipidae, Ichneumonidae, Braconidae, and Oxyura).

They range in size from 2-5 cm, and are caused by chemicals injected by the larva of certain kinds of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae.

An insect-parasitic life mode is probably ancestral in the cynipoid families, and the Ibaliidae are placed next to Austrocynipidae, as a sister group to Liopteridae, Figitidae and Cynipidae.

It can be induced in Hymenoptera by the bacteria Wolbachia and Cardinium, and has also been described in several groups of Hymenoptera, including Cynipidae, Tenthredinidae, Aphelinidae, Ichneumonidae, Apidae and Formicidae.

With the exception of the Cynipidae (the gall wasps), it is a poorly known group as a whole, though there are nearly 3000 known species in total, and a great many species are still undescribed, mostly in the Figitidae.

His collection of Cynipidae with their galls is shared by the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and the Zoological Institute of the University of Halle-Wittenberg which also conserves his collections of Blattidae and Lepidoptera.
