Diversidade dos Braconidae (Hymenoptera) da Unidade de Conservação de Teixeira Soares, Marcelino Ramos, RS, com ênfase nos Microgastrinae

Diversity of Braconidae (Insecta, Hymenoptera) of the Parque Natural Municipal de Porto Velho, Rondonia, Brazil

“…The number of subfamilies, genera, and also the wasp abundance, collected is lower than the average found in the literature in other Brazilian regions, mostly in the South and Southeast (Scatolini & Penteado-Dias 2003, Cirelli & Penteado-Dias 2003, Restello & Penteado-Dias 2006. Moreover, only 38% of the genera in the present work are common within those collected by Cirelli & Penteado-Dias (2003) and Sigalphinae was the only subfamily not collected by Penteado-Dias in previous studies mentioned above.…”

New Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) records from Cuniã Ecological Station, Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazilian Western Amazon

“…Microgastrinae constitutes the largest subfamily of Braconidae with almost 3,000 valid species and worldwide distribution in all the main terrestrial ecosystems (Fernandez-Triana et al, 2020), and also in Brazil (Restello & Penteado-Dias, 2006;Gadelha et al, 2012;Oliveira et al, 2017). Its high abundance and diversity of species is possible related to its gregarious habit, i.e.…”

Beta diversity of four braconid subfamilies (Braconidae, Agathidinae, Braconinae, Doryctinae and Macrocentrinae) of the Ria Lagartos Biosphere reserve in Yucatan, Mexico, with some considerations on biological habits

“…However, Askew and Shaw (1986), Wharton (1993) and Hawkins (1994) argue that idiobionts species are less abundant in the tropics. Chay (1999), Cicero (2002, González (2002), Burgos (2003) and Chay-Hernández et al (2006), mention that koinobionts species increase according to the degree of habitat disturbance, which can be compared to the study of Restello and Penteado-Dias (2006) in Brazil, where they conclude that braconids are more abundant in areas with some degree of modification.…”
