Biodiversity, Phylogeny, and Evolutionary Dynamics of Gall Midges on Japanese Beech Trees. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Leaf galls of 29 types were collected from Japanese endemic beech trees (Fagus L.). Most of the gall inducers formed a monophyletic clade within the tribe Dasineurini. The Fagus‐feeding gall midges underwent adaptive radiation since the Miocene, accompanied by multiple host shifts between F. crenata and F. japonica.

Ecological and Phylogenetic Relationships Shape the Peripheral Olfactory Systems of Highly Specialized Gall Midges (Cecidomiiydae) [PDF]

, 2018
Insects use sensitive olfactory systems to detect relevant host volatiles and avoid un-suitable hosts in a complex environmental odor landscape. Insects with short lifespans, such as gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), are under strong selection ...

Phytohormones in Japanese Mugwort Gall Induction by a Gall-Inducing Gall Midge [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2013
A variety of insect species induce galls on host plants. Liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric analyses showed that a gall midge (Rhopalomyia yomogicola) that induces galls on Artemisia princeps contained high levels of indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinins. The gall midge larvae also synthesized indole-3-acetic acid from tryptophan.

Solving the trophic puzzle: Host–parasite associations in Neotropical fig wasps associated with fig trees of section Americanae

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...
