Is a Gall an Extended Phenotype of the Inducing Insect? A Comparative Study of Selected Morphological and Physiological Traits of Leaf and Stem Galls onMachilus thunbergii(Lauraceae) Induced by Five Species ofDaphnephila(Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Northeastern Taiwan

Abstract: 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. ornithocepha… Show more

“…Our results contribute to the discussion about galling insects as a phenotype manipulator of the host plant traits (see Stone & Cook 1998;Pan et al 2015;Nicholls et al 2017;Hearn et al 2019). According to this idea, gall traits are an expression of the galling insects own genotype since they manipulate host tissues with their specific stimuli.…”

“…; Stern ; Stone & Cook ; Pan et al . ). However, in some cases, gall shapes are not species‐specific: for example, two species of Asphondylia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), A. gennadii (Marchal) and A. capsicicola Uechi, Yukawa & Tokuda, both induce very similar pod galls on Capsicum annuum L. (Solanaceae) (Uechi et al .…”

“…Galling insects generally induce species-specific shapes of galls on their host plants. Thus, gall structure is regarded as the extended phenotype of the gall inducer through long-term interactions between gallers and their host plants (Fukatsu et al 1994;Stern 1995;Stone & Cook 1998;Pan et al 2015a). However, in some cases, gall shapes are not species-specific: for example, two species of Asphondylia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), A. gennadii (Marchal) and A. capsicicola Uechi, Yukawa & Tokuda, both induce very similar pod galls on Capsicum annuum L. (Solanaceae) (Uechi et al 2017).…”

“…The variety of gall-inducing insects reflects the conservation status of an area (Santana and Isaias, 2014). The galls can clarify the extended phenotypes, the richness, and abundance of the gallmaking insects (dos Santos Isaias et al, 2014, Pan et al, 2015. Galls induction is described as parasitic interaction between the gall maker and its host plant (Rocha et al, 2013).…”
