The Diversity and Dynamics of Fungi in Dryocosmus kuriphilus Community
Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) is a gall wasp that induces insect galls on chestnut trees and results in massive yield losses worldwide. Fungi can cause the necrosis of chestnut trees and the death of gall wasps.

Ab-GALFA, A bioassay for insect gall formation using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
Insect galls are abnormal plant organs formed by gall-inducing insects to provide shelter and nutrients for themselves. Although insect galls are spatialized complex structures with unique shapes and functions, the molecular mechanism of the gall ...

First record of Polypedilum mehinaku (Chironomidae) galls induced in the aquatic angiosperm Mourera fluviatilis (Podostemaceae) for Bahia, Brazil [PDF]
Galls induced by insects on aquatic angiosperms are rare and poorly understood. To expand our knowledge of these galls on aquatic host plants and update the distribution of their gall-inducing insect, we present the first record of Polypedilum mehinaku ...

Plant‐galling insect interactions: a data set of host plants and their gall‐inducing insects for the Cerrado [PDF]
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.
