The galling habit probably was selected by the obtainment of adaptive advantages such as specific substance allocation (nutritional hypothesis), microclimatic stability and protection against natural enemy attack (enemy hypothesis). Galling insects modify the host tissue structure and physiology, and the gall development depends on the galling specific stimulus. Thus, the entry of natural enemies into the system can provoke structural and chemical changes in the gall and consequently, decrease the fitness of the galling. Our study system Palaeomystella oligophaga (Lepidoptera) - Macairea radula (Melastomataceae) showed conspicuous galls, with thick and rigid parenchyma, covered by projections with trichomes, and show a gradient of gr...
