  text: Little is known about the stability of trophic relationships in complex natural
    communities over evolutionary timescales. Here, we use sequence data from 18 nuclear
    loci to reconstruct and compare the intraspecific histories of major Pleistocene
    refugial populations in the Middle East, the Balkans and Iberia in a guild of
    four Chalcid parasitoids (Cecidostiba fungosa, C. semifascia, Hobbya stenonota
    and Mesopolobus amaenus) all attacking Cynipid oak galls. We develop a likelihood
    method to numerically estimate models of divergence between three populations
    from multilocus data. We investigate the power of this framework on simulated
    data, and - using triplet alignments of intronic loci - quantify the support for
    all possible divergence relationships between refugial populations in the four
    parasitoids. Although an East to West order of population divergence has highest
    support in all but one species, we cannot rule out alternative population tree
    topologies. Comparing the estimated times of population splits between species,
    we find that one species, M. amaenus, has a significantly older history than the
    rest of the guild and must have arrived in central Europe at least one glacial
    cycle prior to other guild members. This suggests that although all four species
    may share a common origin in the East, they expanded westwards into Europe at
    different times.
