“…italica is the primary host (Alleyne and Morrison 1977). This aphid was first reported in North America from material collected in 1972-1973 in Quebec, where it was extremely common (Alleyne and Morrison 1974). Blackman and Eastop (1994) report its introduction into western Canada.…”

This chapter provides life history information for 16 species of aphids (Aphididae: Pemphigidae) and 2 species of mites (Acari: Eriophyidae) that induce galls on the natural hybrid complex of Populus angustifolia James, Populus balsamifera L. (section Tacamahaca), and Populus deltoides Marsh (section Aigeiros) on Canada's grasslands. Host records indicate that gall inducers show specificity either to section Tacamahaca or to section Aigeiros. Apparent exceptions may reflect misidentification of host taxa, confounded by the presence of unrecognized hybrids, and may require molecular studies for validation. Hybridization is common among these Populus species in zones of overlap but has been given little or no mention in previous reviews of this gall-inducing guild. Such recognition is important, given the profound effects of hybrid hosts on the ecology and evolution of gall-inducing species. The chapter also includes information about two additional species of gall aphids on Populus nigra L. var. italica, which is an introduced species now widely planted in Canada. Résumé. Ce chapitre fournit des informations sur le cycle biologique de 16 espèces de pucerons (Aphididae : Pemphigidae) et de 2 espèces d'acariens (Acari : Eriophyidae) qui provoquent l'apparition de galles dans les complexes hybrides naturels de Populus angustifolia James, de Populus balsamifera L. (section Tacamahaca) et de Populus deltoides Marsh (section Aigeiros) dans les prairies canadiennes. Les données sur les hôtes laissent constater une spécificité des arthropodes gallicoles pour les peupliers de la section Tacamahaca ou de la section Aigeiros. Les exceptions apparentes pourraient refléter des erreurs d'identification de l'hôte dues à la présence d'hybrides non reconnus, et des études moléculaires pourraient être requises aux fins de validation. L'hybridation est chose courante chez ces espèces de Populus dans les zones de chevauchement, mais les études antérieures portant sur la guilde d'arthropodes gallicoles s'y sont peu intéressées, lorsqu'elles ne l'ont pas complètement ignorée. Il est pourtant important de reconnaître ce phénomène étant donné les effets considérables des hôtes hybrides sur l'écologie et l'évolution des espèces gallicoles. Le chapitre fournit également des informations sur deux espèces supplémentaires de pucerons gallicoles du Populus nigra L. var. italica, un peuplier introduit aujourd'hui très répandu au Canada.
