The plant gall collection is part of the Herbarium BUNS collection, University of Novi Sad (Serbia). Collection began with the formation in 1976, and as a unique type of collection in Serbia, it has existed for 35 years. Today’s collection Herbarium cecidologicum is made of two units – Plant gall collection (dried specimens) and database, and includes 438 data: 294 data for dried specimens and 144 collected literature data about the distribution plant galls. Galls collection has multiple significances: assessment biodiversity (diversity of plants and diversity of causers), estimate the population status of certain causers taxa, primarily invertebrates, monitoring the spread of pests, which usually occurs in population of the cultivated species. Collecting data in one database, providing data on new plant gall species and distribution on both challengers as well as host plants is one of the main tasks of this collection.
