“…For example, the occurrence of more species in a plant family implies the existence of a greater number of available niches (de Araújo, dos Santos, & Gomes‐Klein, 2012; de Araújo, Silva, dos Santos, & Gomes‐klein, 2013; Joy & Crespi, 2012; Mendonça, 2007). Therefore, according to the plant family size hypothesis, larger plant families are expected to host more parasites (de Araújo, 2011; de Araújo et al., 2012, 2013; Cuevas‐Reyes, Quesada, Hanson, & Oyama, 2007; Dai et al., 2017; Fernandes, 1992; Gonçalves‐Alvim, Fernandes, & Goncalves‐Alvim, 2001; Lawton & Price, 1979; Mendonça, 2007; Price, 1977; Veldtman & McGeoch, 2003; Ward & Spalding, 1993). In general, high dominance can be related to a high risk of pest or pathogen attack.…”

Dominant species significantly affect interspecific relationships, community structure, and ecosystem function. In the field, dominant species are often identified by their high importance values. Selective foraging on dominant species is a common phenomenon in ecology. Our hypothesis is that dominant plant groups with high importance values are more susceptible to leaf‐mining insects at the regional level. Here, we used the Saihanwula National Nature Reserve as a case study to examine the presence–absence patterns of leaf‐mining insects on different plants in a forest‐grassland ecotone in Northeast China. We identified the following patterns: (1) After phylogenetic correction, plants with high importance values are more likely to host leafminers at the species, genus, or family level. (2) Other factors including phylogenetic isolation, life form, water ecotype, and phytogeographical type of plants have different influences on the relationship between plant dominance and leafminer presence. In summary, the importance value is a valid predictor of the presence of consumers, even when we consider the effects of plant phylogeny and other plant attributes. Dominant plant groups are large and susceptible targets of leaf‐mining insects. The consistent leaf‐mining distribution pattern across different countries, vegetation types, and plant taxa can be explained by the “species‐area relationship” or the “plant apparency hypothesis.”

“…The sampling effort was 15 hours, a low figure compared to the monthly sampling for one year made by Bregonci et al (2010), the monthly samplings for six months by Gonçalves-Alvim & Fernandes (2001), the monthly samplings for over a year of Urso-Guimarães & Scarelli- Santos (2006) and the 66 hours of samplings of Fernandes & Negreiros (2006 Neotrop.,vol. 12,no.…”

“…These data differs slightly from the expected. In literature, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae and Euphorbiaceae are cited as the richest families of galls (Gagné 1994), for example, Fabaceae was appointed as the richest in the cerrado by Gonçalves-Alvim & Fernandes (2001) and UrsoGuimarães & Scarelli-Santos (2006). It is therefore the first record of Annonaceae as the richest family in galls in a study area.…”

This is the first study about galls, gall makers and associated fauna of the Ecological Station of Jataí. Galls are plant structures formed by abnormal growth of cells, tissues or organs induced by several organisms, as fungous, nematoids and insects. Five areas of the conservation unity, two in the phytophysionomy of cerrado in regeneration and three in the cerradão area were studied, totalizing 69 morphotypes of galls on 41 host species from 24 families. This is the first record of Annonaceae as the richest family in morphotypes in Brazil; 34 gall makers and associated fauna were identified, which 23 Diptera (67.4%), eight Hymenoptera (23.5%), two Hemiptera (5.8%) and one Thysanoptera (2.9%). Were described 41 new morphotypes of gall and made the first characterization of gall on Maprounea guianensis Aubl., Acosmium subelegans (Mohlenbr.) Yakovlev., Strychnos bicolor Progel, Eriotheca gracilipes K. Schum., Stryphnodendron obovatum Benth., Broyesum gaudichaudii Trécul, Psychotria suterella Müll. Arg., Psychotria trichophora Müll. Arg. and Serjania erecta Radlk.

“…In an area of savanna and forest in Belo Horizonte, MG, recorded 37 gall types. In another study, Urso-Guimarães et al (2003) recorded only 22 morphotypes in areas of savanna, gallery forest and rocky field in Delfinópolis, MG. Factors such as richness and composition of host plants (Oyama et al 2003), habitat type (Gonçalves-Alvim & Fernandes 2001) and environmental conditions (Fernandes & Price 1988) may influence patterns of local and regional distribution of these insects.…”

“…Under these conditions the plants are more sclerophyllous, with coriaceous leaves and stems, high hairiness, which reduces the probability of abscission. Thus, the plants become large food reserves and also give shelter and protection for insects, a fact responsible for the evolutionary success of gall-inducing insects (Fernandes et al 1996, Allain et al 1998, Gonçalves-Alvim & Fernandes 2001.…”

Abstract:In this study we recorded the occurrence of insect galls, inductors and parasitoids in plants of several physiognomies of Brazilian Cerrado in the Serra dos Pireneus, Goiás State, Brazil. We found 62 morphotypes of gall on 28 botanical families, comprising 44 genera and 51 species. The plant families that showed the greatest richness of galls were Fabaceae, with eight morphotypes, and Styracaceae with six. Styrax pohlii (Styracaceae) was the host plant species with the greatest gall richness, featuring five morphotypes. Most of galls occurred on the leaves (82.6%), 45.1% in vegetation of typical savanna and 35.4% in rocky savanna. Dipteran, Hemipteran and Lepidopteran galls were found, being 50.9% of them induced by Cecidomyiidae (Diptera). Several parasitoids were obtained, Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) was the most representative group (occurring in approximately 40% of the galls). Nine species of plants were recorded for the first time in the Neotropical as host of gallers. Resumo: Neste estudo, registramos a ocorrência de galhas, galhadores e parasitóides em plantas de várias fitofisionomias de Cerrado na Serra dos Pireneus, Estado de Goiás, Brasil. Foram encontrados 62 morfotipos de galhas em 28 famílias botânicas, compreendendo 44 gêneros e 51 espécies. As famílias botânicas que apresentaram maior riqueza de galhas foram Fabaceae, com oito morfotipos e Styracaceae com seis. Styrax pohlii (Styracaceae) foi a espécie de planta hospedeira mais rica em galhas, apresentando cinco morfotipos. A maioria das galhas ocorreu nas folhas (82,6%) e em fitofisionomias de cerrado típico (45,1%) e cerrado rupestre (35,4%). Galhas de Diptera, Hemiptera e Lepidoptera foram encontradas, sendo 50,9% induzidas por Cecidomyiidae (Diptera). Vários parasitóides obtidos, dentre eles, Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) foram foi o grupo mais representativo (ocorrendo em aproximadamente 40% das galhas). Nove espécies de plantas são registradas pela primeira vez na região Neotropical como hospedeiras de galhadores. Palavras-chaves: Cecidomyiidae, insetos galhadores, plantas hospedeiras, parasitóides.
