Plant‐galling insect interactions: a data set of host plants and their gall‐inducing insects for the Cerrado [PDF]
Ecology, 2020 AbstractRecent decades have seen increased research interest in the processes and mechanisms related to insect gall richness and host plants. The data set provided here includes 968 records of interactions between galling insects and host plants for the Cerrado biome. The data set comprises 505 species of 222 genera and 67 families of host plants.

A comparative venomic fingerprinting approach reveals that galling and non-galling fig wasp species have different venom profiles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The galling habit represents a complex type of interaction between insects and plants, ranging from antagonism to mutualism. The obligate pollination mutualism between Ficus and fig wasps relies strongly on the induction of galls in Ficus flowers, where ...

Exotic species and the structure of a plant-galling network [PDF]
Network Biology, 2017 Gall-inducing insects are highly specialized herbivores and is expected that networks composed by gall-inducing insects and their host plants are also very specialized.

Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Section B. Biological Sciences, 1992 SynopsisA provisional species list for the insects galling willow in Britain is presented. Aspects of willow biology which may be important in gall-insect species diversity are briefly discussed and the process of gall formation is reviewed for one species of willow-galling sawfly.

Diversity of galling insects in Styrax pohlii (Styracaceae): edge effect and use as bioindicators [PDF]
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011 Impacts of forest fragmentation and edge effect on plant-herbivores interactions are relatively unknown, and the relationships between galling insects and their host plants are very susceptible to environmental variations.

Review of gall-associated insects in the Melastomataceae family
Brazilian Journal of BiologyAlthough research on gall-associated insects has increased in recent years in Brazil, little is known about this fauna in the Melastomataceae family. Here, we compiled information on the fauna of insects associated with galls induced in species of the ...

Insects, 2023 Gall-inducing insects often contain high concentrations of phytohormones, such as auxin and cytokinin, which are suggested to be involved in gall induction, but no conclusive evidence has yet been obtained.

European Journal of Entomology, 2011 Quantitative behavioural traits associated with egg-laying, such as the level of selectivity for host-supports and the size of egg clutches, are generally thought to be of great importance for the subsequent survival and development of offspring.
