“…This suggests that these species have speciated on M. thunbergii in Taiwan, and later in time shifted to M. japonica (Tokuda et al, 2008). Analysis of galls suggests that red galls of D. taiwanensis include greater anthocyanin content and carotenoid:chlorophyll ratio than the green galls of D. taiwanensis and D. sueyenae (Huang et al, 2011). Production of greater anthocyanin content could be a compensating mechanism to reduce damages associated with photons and reactive-oxygen species.…”

Mature galls induced by Daphnephila truncicola, D. taiwanensis, D. sueyenae, D. stenocalia, and D. ornithocephala on Machilus thunbergii in northern Taiwan were examined to verify the dictum that the morphology of galls is an expression of the extended phenotype of the respective gall-inducing insect. Based on their length-width ratio, the materials were grouped into either fleshy (those induced by D. taiwanensis and D. sueyenae) or slim galls (those induced by D. truncicola, D. stenocalia, and D. ornithocephala). Stem galls induced by D. truncicola showed an energy level of 0.0178 kJ/g. Among leaf galls, the greatest energy level was in the one induced by D. stenocalia (0.0193 kJ/g), followed by D. sueyenae (0.0192 kJ/g), D. taiwanensis (0.0189 kJ/g), and D. ornithocephala (0.0160 kJ/g). The numbers of reserve and nutritive cell layers in galls were greater in the stem galls induced by D. truncicola, similar to those in the fleshy leaf galls, than in the slim leaf galls. Based on the fungal taxa isolated from the larval chambers and considering the similarities and divergences among gall characteristics, the galls induced by D. truncicola and D. taiwanensis clustered into one, whereas those of D. sueyenae aligned with the 'D. stenocalia-D. ornithocephala' cluster. The present study verified that shapes, structure, nutritive tissues, energy levels, and multiple coexisting fungal taxa within galls reinforce that they are extended phenotypes of the respective gall-inducing Daphnephila species and they represent adaptive evolution of Daphnephila on M. thunbergii.

The family Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) including about 6100 described species displays diverse feeding habits. The tribe Asphondyliini is a well-circumscribed monophyletic group of Cecidomyiidae and all species are known as gall inducers. Species belonging to this tribe exhibit fascinating ecological traits such as host alternation, polyphagy, extended diapause, induction of dimorphic galls and association with fungal symbionts. For these reasons, biogeographical and phylogenetic studies of Asphondyliini are of interest in elucidating the evolution of these traits, and particularly the processes of host-range expansion, host-plant shift and shifts in gall-bearing organs. In order to facilitate further evolutionary studies of Asphondyliini, I review studies of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, speciation, cytology, behavior, ecology, physiology, biological interaction and economic importance in this tribe.

“…Florentine, Raman & Dhileepan 2005;Zvereva, Lanta & Kozlov 2010;Patankar, Thomas & Smith 2011;Nabity et al 2012). There is increasing evidence that gall formation causes disruption beyond simple stomatal downregulation, and in fact has significant negative impacts on photosystem II quantum efficiency (Aldea et al 2006;Huang et al 2011), along with modifications to photosynthetic pigments (Yang et al 2003;Gailite, Andersone & Ievinsh 2005;Samsone, Andersone & Ievinsh 2012) and carbon metabolites (Chakrabarti, Chakrabarti & Chakrabarti 2011;Patankar et al 2013). Such physiological impacts have been linked with reduced radial growth rates in trees, indicating reduced productivity at the whole plant level in response to gall-mite herbivory (Patankar, Thomas & Smith 2011).…”

Permafrost‐driven differences in habitat quality determine plant response to gall‐inducing mite herbivory

Summary1. Canada's northern boreal forests are undergoing rapid change associated with warming trends, with permafrost thaw leading to increased forest stress and compositional changes in plant communities. Within this context, the influence of commonly occurring, resident natural enemies on plant species remains poorly understood. One of the dominant deciduous shrub genera, Betula, is abundant in northern forest-wetland landscapes, and is highly susceptible to leaf galling by mites, but the impacts of these specialist arthropod herbivores on plant-level physiology remain unknown. 2. We examined the impacts of mite galling on a suite of ecophysiological traits in Betula glandulosa, a shrubby species commonly found on permafrost plateaus, bogs and fens in a boreal wetlandforest mosaic, and on two congeners, B. occidentalis and B. neoalaskana, found only on plateaus. 3. B. glandulosa leaves on plateaus showed marked declines in photosynthetic capacity [A max ], stomatal conductance [g s ], and transpiration [E] in response to galling. However, B. glandulosa leaves in bogs and fens did not respond similarly, implying strong habitat-related differences in response to galling herbivory. The impacts on plateaus were reinforced by similar responses of B. occidentalis and B. neoalaskana leaves to galling, and confirmed that on plateaus, galling appears to have significant negative effects on photosynthetic uptake. Moreover, carbon uptake in infested leaves showed photosynthetic declines even at low galling intensity. Interestingly, neighbouring nongalled leaves adjacent to galled ones showed similar declines in gas-exchange rates in all the three species found on plateaus. However, reduced stomatal conductance and transpiration in galled and neighbour leaves did not affect whole plant water status, as we found no differences in either midday or diurnal stem water potentials between galled and gall-free stems in any of the species. 4. Synthesis: Based on these findings, we suggest that the impacts of mite galling are variable, and are likely to be most pronounced in habitats and on individuals that are already exposed to abiotic stresses such as the cooler, but more variable soil temperatures experienced by individuals on permafrost plateaus. Furthermore, galling can potentially contribute to localized thaw processes in these environments via impacts on plant functioning.
