“…In the Gallery Forest vegetation of the Cerrado, some species have low-quality leaves with high concentrations of lignin, cellulose, tannins, and polyphenols (De Sousa-Neto, Lins & Martins 2017, Rezende, Leite, & Ramos 2018), making consumption by shredders challenging (Rezende et al 2021). To date, only seven articles have conducted experimental studies using shredder aquatic insects from Cerrado streams in laboratories (Ferreira et al 2015, Rezende, Leite, & Ramos 2018, Reis et al 2018, Moretti & Santos 2019, Sena et al 2020, Rezende 2021. It is known that the genera Phylloicus (Mueller 1880), Tipula (Linnaeus 1758), Simulium (Latreille 1802), and Chironomus (Meigen 1803) can be used for such purposes.…”
