Figure 5 in A unique seasonal cycle in a leaf gall-inducing insect: the formation of stem galls for dormancy

Figure 5. (A,E) Rollinia laurifolia stems: scanning electron micrographs showing Pseudotectococcus rollinae nymphs. (B–D, F) Photomicrographs of transverse sections of dormancy galls. (A,B) Crawler (5first-instar nymph) inside a dormancy gall. (C) Sudan Red B test showing plant cuticle (arrow) delimiting the dormancy gall concavity. (D) Exuviae from the first moult left inside a dormancy gall. (E) Crawler (5first-instar nymph) before dormancy starting. (F) Stem nymph (5stationary crawler) with its stylets (arrow) inserted into stem tissues inducing a dormancy gall. Crawler (cr), exuviae (ex), phelloderm (pd). Scale bars: 100 mm (A,B, D–F), 50 mm (C).
