contribution of gall microscopic structure to taxonomy of gallicolous aphids on pistacia.	aphids inducing galls on pistacia plants belong to the tribe fordini. according to the heie & wegierek classification, the genera are grouped into three subtribes. previous microscopic studies showed that this taxonomy is not consistent with the histological characteristics of the galls. in this paper, galls induced by aplonerura lentisci, asiphonella cynodonti, forda riccobonii, slavun wertheimae and smynthurodes betae were analyzed for the first time, as well as nine other galls previously des ...	2016	27259077
aggressive mimicry coexists with mutualism in an aphid.	understanding the evolutionary transition from interspecific exploitation to cooperation is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. ant-aphid relationships represent an ideal system to this end because they encompass a coevolutionary continuum of interactions ranging from mutualism to antagonism. in this study, we report an unprecedented interaction along this continuum: aggressive mimicry in aphids. we show that two morphs clonally produced by the aphid paracletus cimiciformis during its roo ...	2015	25583474
