“…They have varying degrees of host selectivity (Creão-Duarte et al, 2012), and some species have gregarious habits, and may form colonies with a significant number of nymphs and adults (Wood, 1993). However, in general, in most degraded environments there are changes in abundance status, marked by strong dominance of a few species (Lopes, 1995;Creão-Duarte et al, 2012).…”

“…The high availability of potential resources for ants [2,13,41], especially myrmecophilous hemipterans in the cerrado vegetation [21,22,42,43], makes this stratum attractive to ants. Even with the predominance of liquid diet, it is important to stress that various species of ants forage for preys on plants, including myrmecophilous hemipterans [44].…”

“…& Schltdl.) Frondin and Fiasch (Araliacae) revealed that Guayaquila xiphias (Fabricius, 1803) treehoppers are attended day and night by 21 species of honeydew-gathering ants [42], whereas shrubs of Solanum lycocarpum hosting Enchenopa brasiliensis treehoppers are regularly visited by 10 ant species [22]. Campos et al [19], using pitfall traps in a cerrado area of the state of Goias, found 16 species of ants on the shrub stratum (height between 0.5 and 1.5 m) and 28 on the arboreal stratum (dominated by taller, mature trees).…”

“…Estudos dessas interações vêm recebendo maior atenção no Brasil em anos recentes (DeL-CLaro & oLiVeira, 1993, 2000DeL-CLaro, 2004;FernanDeS et al, 2005;LopeS, 1995;Moreira & DeLCLaro, 2005;DeL-CLaro et al, 2006), todavia, apesar deste esforço, é inquestionável a necessidade de se reunir informações sobre esse táxon e o seu papel nos ecossistemas tropicais, visto sua extrema diversidade taxonômica, morfológica, ecológica e comportamental (wooD, 1993), especialmente em ecossistemas semi-áridos como a Caatinga, que possui em sua dinâmica pulsos de estresse hídrico, com reflexos na disponibilidade de recursos para os organismos fitófagos (VaSConCeLLoS et al, 2010a). Dessa forma, este estudo objetivou analisar a diversidade de Membracidae e suas plantas hospedeiras, como também avaliar a amplitude e sobreposição de nicho trófico e temporal desses insetos em uma área de Caatinga.…”
