Magalhães, T.A., Oliveira, D.C., & Isaias, R.M.S. 2014 Population dynamics of the gall inducer Eriogallococcus isaias (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Eriococcidae) on Pseudobombax grandiflorum (Malvaceae). Journal of Natural History 49(13-14): 789-801 (2015)

Keywords:

  • ecology
  • life cycle
  • Notes: We studied the life cycles of the host plant and the galling insect, and followed the development of the insects and the structure of the gall. The results showed that gall induction is synchronous with leaf flushing, and that the galls and leaves mature concomitantly.
