i5K Comments for Nipponaphis monzeni
This aphid is a presocial species having 1st-instar soldier nymphs. They show a unique social behavior, gall repair. When their gall is damaged, they plug and repair the wound by discharging their own body fluid This species of aphid has soldiers that commit self-sacrificial gall repair. They live clonally in nests, and would be an ideal system to look at expression differences between the soldiers that perform these behaviors and other nestmates. IAGC
