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 …

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 …

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 …

This book seeks to expose the reader to those studies which have made the greatest
contribution to the body of knowledge surrounding the insect galls in the Neotropical region …

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 …

O comportamento de induzir galhas provavelmente surgiu como um mecanismo de defesa
contra adversidades climáticas e/ou refúgios contra inimigos naturais. Várias hipóteses …

Diversity patterns of herbivores have been related to climate, host plant traits, host plant
distribution and evolutionary relationships individually. However, few studies have assessed …

Abiotic factors can affect plant performance and cause stress, which in turn affects plant–
herbivore interactions. The Environmental Stress Hypothesis (ESH) predicts that gall …

An inventory of gall inducing insects and their host plants in the Atlantic forest of
Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil is presented. Samples of galls and their host plants were …

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 …
