Galling insects are the only insects capable of manipulating plant tissues to form complex
structures. The number of known species of galling insect is small compared to the large …

Background The degree of herbivory in plants can be related to leaf traits, which are, in turn,
determined by phylogeny and environment. Aims The objective of our study was to …

The diversity and abundance of gall‐inducing organisms are directly proportional to the
structural complexity of the host plant. This hypothesis is controversial for forest …
