關刀溪森林生態系之產癭植物及蟲癭多樣性

The Diversity of Gall-Inducing Plants and Insect-Induced Galls in Guandaushi Forest Ecosystem of Central Taiwan

關刀溪森林生態系為臺灣中部之一處長期生態研究區。在326種維管束植物中，有16科27種為產蟲癭植物，其中8種為藤本，19種為木本植物。6種樟科植物及4種殼斗科植物具有蟲癭。共紀錄到45類型的蟲癭，依據Küster分類系統，約60%為原質性蟲癭；依據Dreger-Jauffret與Shorthouse之分類系統，50%屬於被覆型蟲癭。癭蚋科之造癭昆蟲造成9類型的蟲癭。

Guandaushi forest ecosystem is a long-term ecological research (LTER) site in central Taiwan. There are totally 326 vascular plant species in which 27 species belonging to 16 families bear insect-induced galls. Among these host plants, 8 species arc vines and 19 species are woody trees. Six species of Lauraceae and four species of Fagaceae have galls. Forty-five morphologically different insect-induced galls were found. About 60% are prosoplasmatic galls based on Kuster classification; 50% arc covering galls based on Dreger-Jauffret and Shorthouse classification. The gall makers of Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) induced 9 different galls.
