of them until January 2009. Insect species are arranged by the frequency of their presence in galls. “Guild” denotes the relationship of each insect to the gall. Guild was determined experimentally for the 7 most abundant species and from taxonomic literature for the rare species. The mean (±standard error) of the number of each species emerging from galls in which that species was present is shown Fig. 1 Interactions between the most common insects found in oak apple galls (formed by A. quercuscalifornicus) in the Central Valley of California. Interactions arising from “Gall Induction” denote gall-inducers or inquilines (insects Non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase that feed on the gall material, not the gall-making insect). Panels are arranged by trophic level Differences in presence and abundance of insects based on gall size and locality Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA—an ordination technique that is robust to non-linearity in species associations across environmental gradients) showed that insect communities within galls varied across galls of different size (CCA, permutation test, P < 0.01), phenology (CCA, permutation test, P < 0.01), and location (CCA, permutation test, P < 0.01). MANCOVA similarly revealed that the community of insects emerging from oak apple galls was associated with gall size and collection locality with linear trends (Table 2).
