Diversity of gall-inducing insects in the high altitude wetland forests in Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We report on the richness of galling insects in the altitudinal wetland forests of Pernambuco State, Northeastern Brazil. We found 80 distinct types of insect galls on 49 species of host plants belonging to 28 families and 35 genera.

Towards an In‐Depth Understanding of the Versatile Functions of Silicon in Legumes Under Biotic and Abiotic Stress: Identifying Research Gaps

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies have shown the vital role of silicon (Si) under stress conditions, suggesting it could be used as a basic fertilizer. Collectively, as a strategic approach under biotic and abiotic stress conditions, Si offers a sustainable means to boost legume resilience and productivity, thereby contributing significantly to food security amid ...

Plant-galls induced by insects in the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2017
Galls (in Latin cecidia) are defined as any deviation from the normal pattern of plant growth produced by a specific reaction to the presence and activity of a foreign organism. Galls often support species-rich and closed communities of inquilines and

Gall induction by hemipteroid insects

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2011
The Thysanoptera and sternorrhynchous Hemiptera induce galls through feeding action, a behavior similar to that in the Cecidomyiidae. Salivary glands of gall-founding female thrips include greater quantities of hydrolyzing enzymes and soluble proteins than those in either males or pupae, which possibly alter the host-tissue metabolism, enabling galls ...

A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 9, Page 1218-1232, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Symbiont‐Derived Key Innovations Across the Diversity and Diets of Herbivorous Insects

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT With prodigious biomass and diversity, herbivorous insects are among the world's most successful animals. It is widely believed, however, that some plant‐based diets do not meet the needs of insect metabolism. Microbial symbionts may balance such deficits through diverse biochemistry.

Leaf gall diversity in the neotropical plant Coccoloba barbadensis (Polygonaceae) and its associated insect species richness

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
Galls are an abnormal growth of plant tissue in response to the presence generally of an inducing insect, which ensures food and protection during specific periods of its life.

Photosynthetic efficiency of Clusia arrudae leaf tissue with and without Cecidomyiidae galls

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Leaf galls induced by a still undescribed new species of Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) are frequent on leaves of Clusia arrudae Planchon & Tirana (Clusiaceae) in the rupestrian fields at 1400 m a.s.l. in Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
