Effects of Host Plant Architecture on Colonization by Galling Insects
Austral Ecology, 2006 To study the abundance and occurrence of herbivore insects on plants it is important to consider plant characteristics that may control the insects. In this study the following hypotheses were tested: (i) an increase of plant architecture increases ...

A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Galling Insects on Host Plant Secondary Metabolites
Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2017 The idea that galling insects actively manipulate host plant chemistry has been previously documented but has not been quantified across a range of galler and host plant taxa.

Interactions Between Galling Insects and Leaf-Feeding Insects: The Role of Plant Phenolic Compounds and Their Possible Interference With Herbivores [PDF]
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2008 : The objective of this study was to determine the effects of gall induction on leaf phenolic compounds and their indirect effects on the subsequent attack of folivorous insects in Achatocarpus gracilis, Cordia alliodora, Guapira macrocarpa, Guettarda ...

Plant Tolerance of Gall‐Insect Attack and Gall‐Insect Performance
Ecology, 1996We examined plant tolerance of gall—insect attack and gall—insect performance in rosinweed (Silphium integrifolium, Asteraceae) and its apical meristem galler Antistrophus silphii (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae). Gall densities were varied in field rosinweed populations, while gall densities, water, and nutrients were varied for rosinweed in an experimental ...

Benefits of photosynthesis for insects in galls
Oecologia, 2012Insect-induced plant galls are predominantly reputed to act as strong carbon sinks, although many types of galls contain chlorophyll and have the potential to photosynthesize. We investigated whether the photosynthetic capacity of bud galls induced by a Pteromalid wasp, Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae, in Acacia longifolia subsidises carbon budgets ...

Building Two Houses on a Single Host Plant: Galling Insect Synchronizes Its Life Cycle With Plant Phenology [PDF]
Oecologia Australis, 2018 Galls are specific interactions between specialist herbivores and their host plants. They are considered neoformed plant organs developed from cellular hypertrophy, tissue hyperplasia and cellular redifferentiation of the host tissues.

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1983
Abstract 1. 1.Galls are abnormal swellings of plant tissue caused by insects, bacteria, fungi, mites, and nematodes. Galls form due to the abnormal growth of plant cells and take on characteristic sizes, shapes and colors. 2. 2.Gall tissue is formed in response to a specific stimulus received from an invading organism.

Adaptive Nature of Insect Galls
Environmental Entomology, 1987Major hypotheses on the adaptive significance of insect gall formation are reviewed: nonadaptive, plant protection, mutual benefit, nutrition, microenvironment, and enemy hypotheses. We evaluate the validity of each, and find the first three to be without merit because galls clearly have adaptive features for the insect, but few if any for the plant ...

Fungus-insect gall of Phlebopus portentosus
Mycologia, 2015Phlebopus portentosus is a popular edible wild mushroom found in the tropical Yunnan, China, and northern Thailand. In its natural habitats, a gall often has been found on some plant roots, around which fungal fruiting bodies are produced. The galls are different from common insect galls in that their cavity walls are not made from plant tissue but ...
