Gall-forming insects in a lowland tropical rainforest: low species diversity in an extremely specialised guild

Original language description

1. Gall-forming insects are a guild of endophages that exhibit a high level of fidelity to their host plants, however, their level of host specificity is seldom explicitly tested. 2. Gall-forming insect taxa from 32 species of woody tropical plants withresolved phylogenetic relationships were collected and reared, representing 15 families from all the major clades of angiosperms, at three lowland rainforest locations in Madang, Papua New Guinea (PNG). 3. More than 8800 galled plant parts were collectedfrom 78 gall morphospecies at an average of 2.4 per host plant. Total species richness at the sampling sites was estimated to be 83-89. All but one morphospecies were monophagous resulting in an effective specialisation of 0.98. 4. Specific leaf weight,foliar nitrogen, the presence of latex, and the successional preference of plant species all gave a phylogenetic signal, but only plant successional preference influenced the species richness of galls on analysis of phylogenetically inde
