Synchrony strategies of six gall inducers that share a superhost, Eugenia copacabanensis (Myrtaceae). [PDF]
Galling insects on the superhost Eugenia copacabanensis have developed different life cycle strategies to synchronize with plant seasonal changes and avoid competition for resources. Abstract The life cycles of galling insects are synchronized with their host plant phenology, allowing them to better explore available resources.

Forest management intensity affects aquatic communities in artificial tree holes [PDF]
Forest management could potentially affect organisms in all forest habitats. However, aquatic communities in water-filled tree-holes may be especially sensitive because of small population sizes, the risk of drought and potential dispersal limitation. We

Does monogeny enable gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) to regulate their sex ratio?
Monogeny, the production of unisexual broods by individual females, is widely recorded in gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Theoretical models propose that the adjustment of offspring sex ratio by females may pre-dispose the evolution of monogeny in ...

Contribution to the knowledge of gall-inducing insects from Biskra province, Algeria [PDF]
On the basis of the sampling surveys in Biskra province during 2012 and 2019, fourteen distinct types of galls induced by insects were found on various host plants. They were belonging to three insect orders, four families and twelve genera.

Life History, Damage, and Gall Development of the Gall Midge, \u3ci\u3eNeolasioptera Brevis\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), Injurious to Honeylocust in Michigan [PDF]
Neolasioptera brevis is univoltine in Michigan. Adults issue in late spring, and females deposit eggs in rows on the lower side of young shoots of honeylocust. Larval eclosion occurs shortly after: there are three larval instars.
