Gall-inducing Insects

Gall-Inducing Insects is a specialized taxonomic and functional group of phytophagous arthropods that are distinguished by their capacity to manipulate host plant physiology through precise feeding or oviposition behaviors, thereby eliciting the formation of neoplastic plant structures known as galls that serve as unique microhabitats for larval development.
