ALT1:... that after the wasp Andricus mukaigawae has created a
gall on an
oak tree, a second species of wasp may move in, and either or both may be parasitised by a third species?

: Hi
Cwmhiraeth, review follows: Article is long enough (2351 B), new enough (created 20 Nov, nominated 25 Nov, 5 days later), well referenced to reliable sources, neutral. My check suggests that there is no copyvio. I verified ALT1 in the source, have added some links for comprehension, and I think it's reasonably interesting now. I found ALT1 to either not line up with article you source ( which says "although it is not clear whether it attacks the gall inducer or the inquiline, or both") or to have too many 'maybe's for it to be clear what's being said, so I've struck it. QPQ has been conducted and ALT0 is good to go.
