Gall cytological and histochemical features established by the constant feeding activity of the associated gall inducer may be changed due to the attack of parasitoids. We accessed two tri-trophic systems involving the globoid bivalve-shaped gall on Mimosa gemmulata Barneby (Fabaceae) and its gallin...
