Gall-inducing insects are iconic examples in the manipulation and reprogramming of plant
development, inducing spectacular morphological and physiological changes of host-plant …

▪ Abstract Oak gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae, Cynipini) are characterized by
possession of complex cyclically parthenogenetic life cycles and the ability to induce a wide …

The chemical composition of galled and ungalled plant tissue was compared in a series of
experiments. Gall and adjacent plant tissue was analysed for 20 species of gall-former on 11 …

Aim Latitudinal patterns in biotic interactions, particularly in herbivory, have been widely
debated. We conducted a quantitative research synthesis to test whether background losses …

1 We tested four hypotheses concerning the variation in species richness of gall-inducing
insects (GII) in plant communities. We sampled deciduous and riparian habitats in a tropical …

We review the literature dealing with the effect of soil fertilization on phytophagous insects
and mites on trees. Most published studies focus on nitrogen fertilization. The results of …

Gall inducers are favoured as biocontrol agents of weeds because they tend to have a
narrow host range. Six insect and one nematode gall inducer used in Canada are described …

Galls are modified, invariably symmetrical, naturally developing plant structures that arise
because of messages from certain specialist insects, mostly from the Thysanoptera …

As natural microlaboratories, galls are elegant models to study plant cell fates. Each gall
morphotype is the product of repetitive patterns in cell division and differentiation, which …

Diets of red Cervus elaphus and roe Capreolus capreolus deer in Scottish plantation forests
were assessed by botanical and chemical analyses of 144 rumen samples. Samples were …
