A scientist who specializes in the study of plant galls and their formation, especially those created by insects and other organisms.
From cecidium plus -logist; alternative form of cecidiologist, with simpler Latin-based construction.
Cecidologists have discovered that the same insect species might create completely different-looking galls on different plant species, proving that both the insect and plant are equally responsible for designing what the gall looks like.
