EntomoBrasilis, 2023 Galls are small structures induced mostly by insects in different plant organs, and have different shapes and colorations. Knowledge on galls is still sparse in the semiarid region of Bahia. Therefore, the goal of this study was to characterize galls in

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.

EVOLUTION OF THE GALL WASP-HOST PLANT ASSOCIATION [PDF]
Evolution, 2001 Gall wasps, or cynipids, form the second largest radiation of galling insects with more than 1300 described species. According to current views, the first cynipids were phytophagous and developed in herb stems of the Asteraceae without modifying plant growth or development.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Galls are plant structures generated by gall-inducing organisms including insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria and viruses. Those made by insects generally consist of inner callus-like cells surrounded by lignified hard cells, supplying both nutrients and

Saltbush-associated Asphondylia species (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in the Mediterranean Basin and their chalcidoid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) [PDF]
, 2014 Numerous species of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) have been recorded from saltbush (Chenopodiaceae: Atriplex) around the world but only 11 of them belong to the large cecidomyiid genus Asphondylia. Of these, two species were de-scribed in the late

Density of Insect Galls in the Forest Understorey and Canopy: Neotropical, Gondwana or Global Patterns? [PDF]
, 2014 Gall-forming insects reach highest diversity, abundance and survivorship on sclerophyllous vegetation. This pattern was recently reviewed and shown as a habitat rather than ecosystem effect.

Galls of Palaeomystella oligophaga (Lepidoptera, Agonoxenidae) associated with Macairea radula (Melastomataceae) in Neotropical veredas: effects of environment type resource concentration, and plant architecture [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de ZoologiaThe diversity of galling insects may be associated with abiotic factors, such as hygrothermal stress, and biotic factors of the host plants, such as structural complexity and resource concentration.

Heritable Phytohormone Profiles of Poplar Genotypes Vary in Resistance to a Galling Aphid
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2019 Insect galls are highly specialized structures arising from atypical development of plant tissue induced by insects. Galls provide the insect enhanced nutrition and protection against natural enemies and environmental stresses.

Plant DirectPlant galls generated by insects have highly organized structures, providing nutrients and shelter to the insects living within them. Most research on the physiological and molecular mechanisms of gall development has focused on single galls.
