Gall morphology and the effects of host plant water status on the Asphondylia auripila group on Larrea tridentata in the Mojave Desert, Granite Mountains, California
Huggins TR. 2008. Gall morphology and the effects of host plant water status on the Asphondylia auripila group on Larrea tridentata in the Mojave Desert, Granite Mountains, California. University of California, Los Angeles
The author studied galls on Larrea tridentata to determine how the density of the galls was affected by plant water status. All of the studies in this dissertation look at gall morphology and distribution in the Asphondylia auripila group. When plant water status improved due to increased precipitation, gall density declined.
