Análise faunística de Braconidae (Hymenoptera) em três áreas de mata nativa do Estado do Paraná, Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Faunistic analysis of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) in three areas of native woods of Paraná State, Brazil. The material studied comes from three of the several natural environments which still occur in Paraná State. The samples were collected during the project PROFAUPAR, developed by Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná. The selected sites were: Antonina (in the coastal plain), São José dos Pinhais (in the coastal mountain range) and Telêmaco Borba (in the second plateau). During one year of the project, 2,106 specimens of Braconidae were collected with light trap. These wasps represented 21 subfamilies and 1,966 specimens were identified in 85 genera. Hormiinae, Rogadinae, Microgastrinae, Alysiinae, Doryctinae and Meteorinae were the most frequent subfamilies. Indices of diversity and evenness were used to discuss richness and dominance of genera in each locality. Statistical analyses indicated that the asymptote of actual genera richness have been approached only to Antonina and Telêmaco Borba.

Braconidae (Hymenoptera) fauna in native, degraded and restoration areas of the Vale do Paraíba, São Paulo state, Brazil

“…The results corroborate those obtained by Scatolini and Penteado-Dias (2003) with a greater frequency of these insects in the months of November and December caught by a light trap at locations in Paraná state, Brazil. In turn, the observed data differ from those reported by Cirelli and Penteado-Dias (2003), examining the phenology of the Braconidae caught in Malaise traps in a cerrado (= Brazilian savanna) area of Descalvado, São Paulo state, Brazil, recording the highest frequencies of occurrence in June and August (winter) and September (early spring).…”

Análise faunística das Famílias de Hymenoptera e inventário de vespas sociais (Vespidae: Polistinae) em uma área de floresta tropical na Amazônia brasileira

“…Braconídeos são especialistas e utilizam, principalmente, hospedeiros holometábolos imaturos das ordens Lepidoptera, Coleoptera e Diptera, além de imaturos e/ou adultos de hemimetábolos (CAMPOS; . A maioria das espécies dessa família é de parasitoides primários de estágios imaturos de outros insetos e por isso são muito utilizados em programas de controle biológico de pragas agrícolas (SHAW, 2006;SCATOLINI;PENTEADO-DIAS, 2003).…”

Aspilota-group (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Alysiinae) diversity in Mediterranean Natural Parks of Spain

“…Although many diversity studies around Braconidae have been carried out worldwide, for example in Brazil (Cirelli and Penteado-Dias 2003, Scatolini and Penteado-Dias 2003), Venezuela (Briceño et al 2007, Briceño et al 2009) or in the Iberian Peninsula (Andorra, Spain and Portugal) (Falcó-Garí et al 2006, Jiménez-Peydró and Peris-Felipo 2011, Peris-Felipo and Jiménez-Peydró 2011, Falcó-Garí et al 2014), these communities have been insufficiently analysed. However, in recent years, some biodiversity studies have been carried out.…”
