Recensioner i media

“The text includes many informative summary tables and brief overviews of key taxa that provide a structured and accessible introduction to gall midge biology, and the text is full of fascinating nuggets. Several of the chapters provide practical recommendations for those interested in working on gall midges. … this would be a valuable addition to any entomological library and is well worth it for those interested in plant galls.” (Graham Stone, Antenna, Vol. 46 (1), 2022)
