Species-specific changes in tissue morphogenesis induced by two arthropod leaf gallers in Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae) (2008, background): “The role of the cecidozoa and the host plant in determining gall morphology is not clearly understood, but several authors suggest that the phytophagous action induces different gallerspecificmorphologies, evenwhenusing the samehost-plant cells and morphogenetic potentialities (Meyer 1987; Dodson 19”
Parasitoid recruitment to the globally invasive chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (2006, background): “This in turn may result in the development of genetically discrete D. kuriphilus ecotypes within parasitoid species (Stone and Schönrogge 2003).”
A molecular phylogeny for the oldest (nonditrysian) lineages of extant Lepidoptera, with implications for classification, comparative morphology and life‐history evolution (2015, background): “Together with Prodoxinae and a few Adelidae, Cecidosidae are also the only adeloids to have adapted to arid and semiarid environments, a recurring correlate of galling among insects (e.g., Stone & Schönrogge, 2003).”
On the role of enemies in divergence and diversification of prey: a review and synthesis (2005, background): “A number of recent reviews devote considerable attention to the role of enemies in gall diversity (Crespi et al. 1997; Stone et al. 2002; Stone and Schönrogge 2003).”
Redifferentiation of leaflet tissues during midrib gall development in Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae) (2010, background): “In other gall systems, these structural features in galls have commonly been related to the microenvironment hypothesis (Price et al., 1986, 1987; Stone and Schönrogge, 2003), which has been frequently invoked but nevertheless rarely tested experimentally (Miller III et al.”
Inducible direct plant defense against insect herbivores: A review (2008, background): “In this zone (gall), the insect experiences a selective advantage because of enhanced nutrition (due to the formation of a nutrient sink) and reduced plant defense (Stone & Schönrogge, 2003; Harris et al., 2006; Zhu et al., 2007).”
The tri-trophic niche concept and adaptive radiation of phytophagous insects (2005, background): “Stone & Schonrogge (2003) conclude that in two relatively species-poor galling groups, aphids and thrips, gall structures have diversified primarily in response to selection for increased feeding area, whereas in the highly diverse gall midges and gall wasps (Cecidomyiidae and Cynipidae) defensive…”
