“…Epifriede linol appears as the main constituent of the foliar wax of M. rigida (Table I). This species has been regarded as highly resistant to drought, although its adaptative mechanisms are still unknown (Sampaio, 1995). Friedelanes have been found in foliar waxes of other taxa (Gtilz et al, 1992).…”

“…Constata-se, porém, que, devido à grande extensão territorial que ocupa e os diferentes ambientes em que pode ser encontrada, a caatinga encerra uma enorme variabilidade de faciações fitogeográficas evidenciadas, principalmente, pelas diferenças fisionômicas, densidades, composição de espécies e aspectos fenoló-gicos (Sampaio, 1995;Sampaio et al, 1993;Rodal et al, 1992;Andrade-Lima, 1981;Sousa, 1979). A carência de informações sobre a vegetação de caatinga se torna muito evidente quando se procura dados relativos, por exemplo, à estrutura fitossociológica, à dinâmica de populações, aos processos de sucessão ecológi-ca e de regeneração natural dos ecossistemas aí encontrados (Araújo Filho, 1996;IBAMA, 1992).…”

“…This ecosystem is composed mainly of trees and low shrubs, many of which exhibit xerophytic characteristics, such as thorns and small leaves (Prado 2003). The Caatinga is made up of several different types of vegetation due to large-scale variations in climate related to the mountainous geography (Sampaio 1995). The availability of food resources for invertebrates in the Caatinga is subject to strong seasonal fluctuations (Araújo et al 2010;Moura et al 2006;Vasconcellos et al 2010).…”

“…The availability of food resources for invertebrates in the Caatinga is subject to strong seasonal fluctuations (Araújo et al 2010;Moura et al 2006;Vasconcellos et al 2010). Flowering, fruiting and leaf fall are some of the factors that undergo seasonal variation, and rain is the factor most responsible for this altered physiognomy (Barbosa et al 2003;Griz & Machado 2001;Machado et al 1997;Sampaio 1995).…”
