Natural history of G ynaikothrips uzeli (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripidae) in galls of Ficus benjamina (Rosales, Moraceae)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Galls induced by thrips are simple structures when compared to those of other groups of arthropods, and little is known regarding many of their aspects. This study aimed to investigate aspects of the natural history of Gynaikothrips uzeli Zimmermann, 1900 in galls of Ficus benjamina L., 1753 using seasonal sampling (summer and winter). Twenty trees were sampled and divided into quadrants. From each of them, fi ve galls were collected, forming a total of 400 galls per collection. Thrips showed greater… Show more

“…However, the population of this species was highest in August, followed by November and October. The high population of G. ficorum in August may be due to the shorter life cycle of thrips and greater opportunity of an overlapping generation (Mascarenhas and Silva, 2016). The presence of the associated predator and parasites on the same gall leaf may impact the population of G. ficorum.…”

“…Desde hace aproximadamente diez años, el "trips" Gynaikothrips uzeli (Phlaeothripidae, Thysanoptera) se encuentra afectando el follaje de árboles de sombra de Ficus benjamina, produciendo una agalla simple en las hojas tiernas que las deforma y eventualmente pueden caer, sin embargo, hasta el presente los daños no son severos pero el valor ornamental del hospedero es reducido y los adultos pueden provocar irritaciones en la piel de los visitantes del arbolado (Fig. 3.B) (Held et al, 2005Rodríguez y Retana, 2010Arthurs et al, 2016;Mascarenhas et al, 2016). También es común observar daños producidos por ácaros de la familia Tetranychidae, los cuales son "arañitas" diminutas con aparato bucal raspador succionador que se alimentan en el envés de las hojas, en el haz se observa una decoloración clorótica (O'Farril-Nieves y Medina-Gaud 2007, Cibrián 2013.…”
