It refers to various researches on gall-inducing insects published by a world of biologists. Practical methods of field surveys and data analysis are presented, as well as topics on parasitoids, invasive pests, and beneficial gall midges that would be useful for applied entomologists. Readers can learn an ecological way of thinking through diverse interrelations between insects and plants, and the analysis of ecological data from gall-inducing cecidomyiids. Galls can be easily observed in the field continuously from early to final stage of the development of galls and gall inducers because of their outstanding features and immobility. It provides important data of the host plant such as phenology, abundance as food resources, and the survival of galled organs. By taking these advantages, many biologists have used galls and gall-inducing insects as highly convenient organisms for a wide range of studies including ecology, ethology, evolution, and biogeography. The book primarily intends to present the appeal of galls and gall-inducing insects for various biological studies. In particular, gall-inducing cecidomyiids are ideal insects to study ecology and evolution. It helps to open the doors to further cryptic study subjects. Also, integrating various ecological, ethological, evolutionary and biogeographic data as shown in this book can serve to further advance the macroevolutionary studies of insects. 410 0$aEntomology Monographs,$x2522-5278 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aEcology 606 $aInvertebrate Zoology 606 $aEvolutionary Biology 606 $aEcology 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology). 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aInvertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aEcology. 676 $a595.772 700 $aYukawa$b Junichi$0929118 701 $aTokuda$b Makoto$0929119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495232903321 996 $aBiology of Gall Midges$92088072 997 $aUNINA
