Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 8217-8231, November 2025.ABSTRACT Plant galls are abnormal growing tissues induced by various parasitic organisms, exhibiting diverse and complex morphologies. Typically, these galls differ significantly in appearance from their host plants. Here, we report that larvae of a parasitic fly generate unique, rosette galls on Aster scaber, a perennial herb. These galls develop from

Gall-Colonizing Ants and Their Role as Plant Defenders: From ‘Bad Job’ to ‘Useful Service’
Insects, 2019 Galls are neoformed structures on host plant tissues caused by the attack of insects or other organisms. They support different communities of specialized parasitic insects (the gall inducers), and can also provide refuge to other insects, such as moths,

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.Abstract Quantifying the impact of lower trophic level species abundance on higher trophic level predators (and vice versa) is critical for understanding marine ecosystem dynamics and for implementing ecosystem‐based management. Trophic ecosystem models generally predict a tight coupling between prey and fish predators, such that higher abundance of ...

Estimating (Non)Linear Selection on Reaction Norms: A General Framework for Labile Traits
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.It remains difficult to empirically estimate nonlinear selection on individual reaction norms, inhibiting robust tests of adaptive theory and accurate predictions of phenotypic evolution for labile traits. To address this challenge, we propose generalized multilevel models for estimating stabilizing, disruptive, and correlational selection on the ...
