Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Fossil oak galls preserve ancient multitrophic interactions [PDF]
, 2008 Trace fossils of insect feeding have contributed substantially to our understanding of the evolution of insect-plant interactions. The most complex phenotypes of herbivory are galls, whose diagnostic morphologies often allow the identification of the ...

Reddish coloration in galls and its relationship with polyamines, phytohormones, and metal accumulation [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaThe reddish phenomenon in galls is commonly associated with anthocyanin accumulation triggered by different stimuli, including metal, which provides a more efficient antioxidant defense.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

A galling insect activates plant reproductive programs during gall development [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Abstract Many insect species have acquired the ability to redirect plant development to form unique organs called galls, which provide these insects with unique, enhanced food and protection from enemies and the elements.

Distribution of insect galls in xeric and mesic habitats of Floresta Nacional de Silvânia, Brazil
, 2017 We investigated the insect gall distribution along savanna (xeric) and forest (mesic) vegetation in the Floresta Nacional de Silvânia, Goias, Brazil. We tested if the insect gall diversity is higher in the xeric vegetation than in the mesic vegetation ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

DISTRIBUTION OF A LEAF VEIN GALL IN Caryocar brasiliense (CARYOCARACEAE) TREE
Revista Caatinga, 2011 We studied the spatial distribution of a galling insect species that induces galls on the leaf veins of Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (Caryocaraceae) trees.
