Galling adelgids : gall formation, developmental morphology, characterization, and the genetic susceptibility of spruce

Adelgids (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) are a small group of insects with complex life cycles and can threaten seed production in British Columbia (BC). Adelgids induce galls on the reproductive and vegetative shoots of spruce trees, reducing the number of future cone sites. Additionally, feeding on the c...
