摘要: The responses of Afrotropical galling insects to habitat fragmentation are poorly understood. We studied the influence and fragment characteristics on communities Neoboutonia macrocalyx trees, in six forest fragments around Kibale National Park, Uganda. Insect galls were collected from randomly cut tips branches each 10 selected trees every five times over a 10-month period.Atotal 6090 individuals representing galler species recorded. richness, density community composition gallers significantly different among forests. Continuous areas showed similar but some continuous forests others differed them. None measured (size, host-tree density, distance boundary nearest neighbour) explained differences measures (species richness density) gallers. Ou...
