Galls act as both the habitat and food source for the maker of the gall. The interior of a gall can contain edible nutritious starch and other tissues. Some galls act as "physiologic sinks", concentrating resources in the gall from the surrounding plant parts. [25] Galls may also provide the insect with physical protection from predators. [35] [24]
The galls of several species, especially Mediterranean variants, were once used as tanning agents. Before his work in human sexuality, Alfred Kinsey was known for his study of gall wasps. [8] Galls formed on oak trees are one of the main ingredients in iron gall ink.
