Ecology and evolution of gall-inducing arthropods: The pattern from the terrestrial fossil record
CC Labandeira - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Insect and mite galls on land plants have a spotty but periodically rich and abundant fossil
record of damage types (DTs), ichnotaxa, and informally described gall morphotypes. The …

Are gall midge species (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) host-plant specialists?
MAA Carneiro, CSA Branco, CED Braga… - Revista Brasileira de …, 2009 - SciELO Brasil
Despite the speciose fauna of gall-inducing insects in the Neotropical region, little is known
about their taxonomy. On the other hand, gall morphotypes associated with host species …

Background invertebrate herbivory on dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa-nana complex) increases with temperature and precipitation across the tundra biome
Chronic, low intensity herbivory by invertebrates, termed background herbivory, has been
understudied in tundra, yet its impacts are likely to increase in a warmer Arctic. The …

Local and regional palm (Arecaceae) species richness patterns and their cross‐scale determinants in the western Amazon
Local and regional patterns of plant species richness in tropical rain forests, as well as their
possible drivers, remain largely unexplored. The main hypotheses for local species richness …

Leaf miner and plant galler species richness on Acacia: relative importance of plant traits and climate
Diversity patterns of herbivores have been related to climate, host plant traits, host plant
distribution and evolutionary relationships individually. However, few studies have assessed …

Diversity of gall-inducing insects associated with a widely distributed tropical tree species: testing the environmental stress hypothesis
Abiotic factors can affect plant performance and cause stress, which in turn affects plant–
herbivore interactions. The Environmental Stress Hypothesis (ESH) predicts that gall …

Different mechanisms explain feeding type-specific patterns of latitudinal variation in herbivore damage among diverse feeding types of herbivorous insects
T Hiura, M Nakamura - Basic and Applied Ecology, 2013 - Elsevier
To determine whether latitudinal variation in herbivore impact exists, we examined three
major herbivorous insect feeding types (chewers, gallers, and miners) on/in leaves of …
