Plant Galls: A Perspective

1994
Abstract Galls have been of interest to man from historical times to the present day. Despite or because of this fact, the term ‘plant gall’ has been applied to many different systems. Definitions of the term arc mostly inadequate and its employment as a general expression rather than a term suggesting scientific precision is preferred ...

Soil–plant–gall relationships: from gall development to ecological patterns

Biological Reviews
ABSTRACTThe adaptive nature of the galler habit has been tentatively explained by the nutrition, microenvironment, and enemy hypotheses. Soil attributes have direct relationships with these three hypotheses at the cellular and macroecological scales, but their influence has been restricted previously to effects on the nutritional status of the host ...

The Relations of Insects and Plants in Gall Production

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1936
The plant gall as ordinarily defined consists of deformed, usually swollen tissue and is the result of a large increase in the number of plant cells. We are concerned with the galls produced by mites and insects. They occur in innumerable variations upon a great many different species of plants and result from the effects of the producers upon adjacent

Plant Galls and Cancerous Growths in Animals

1964
This chapter is in a sense a continuation of the last chapter and deals likewise with the factors, mechanisms and coordination of development and growth but in a somewhat more fundamental aspect.

Adaptation Insect — Plant in Cynipid Galls

1983
Plant galls constitute the most elaborately evolved plant —insect relationships. In this paper some observations on galls caused by Cynipids (Hymenoptera of the Cynipidae family) will be presented, because the host relation of the Cynipids are intriguing from the point of view of coevolution.
