Gullan, P.J., Davis, M.R., & Cook, L.G. 1997 The response of gall-inducing scale insects (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae: Apiomorpha Rübsaamen) to the fire history of mallee eucalypts in Danggali Conservation Park, South Australia.. Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia 121: 137-146.

Notes: Mallee communities, especially the plant components, are often considered to be fire-adapted but there is no information on how effectively any phytophagous insects re-establish their populations after a wildfire. This research examines the scale insect genus Apiomorpha, in which species induce conspicuous, sexually dimorphic galls of species-specific morphology on Eucalyptus species.
