Table 2. Populations of B. treatae associated with Q. geminata (Qg) and Q. virginiana (Qv) used in the present study, along with study site location and the population means ± SE and sample sizes (in parentheses) for each trait measured (HTL = hind tibia length [asexual generation], CPG = chambers per root gall, LGD = leaf gall diameter, and HP = host preference of sexual generation females for Q. virginiana [ = 1 − host preference for Q. geminata]).
