Galling Insects of the Brazilian Páramos: Species Richness and Composition Along High-Altitude Grasslands

open access: yesEnvironmental Entomology, 2017
In this work, we investigated the factors that determine the distribution of galling insects in high-altitude grasslands, locally called campos de altitude' of Mantiqueira Range and tested whether 1) richness of galling insects decreases with altitude, 2)

A meta-analysis of the effects of galling insects on host plant secondary metabolites

open access: yesArthropod-Plant Interactions, 2016
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.

Effects of host plant architecture on colonization by galling insects

open access: yesAustral 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 ...

Plant Tolerance of Gall‐Insect Attack and Gall‐Insect Performance

Ecology, 1996
We 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, 2012
Insect-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 ...
