Abstract: Most studies of the interactions between plants and gall-inducing (galling) insects have focused on the entomological aspects, few having addressed the diversity of galls in relation to the characteristics of the host plants. The objective of this study was to analyze the richness and composition of the community of host plants of galls in areas of cerrado (savanna) in the state of Goiás, Brazil. To that end, we inventoried the galls in different regions of the state and within various types of vegetation form… Show more

“…Higher dominance is associated with more host-consumer encounters (random placement hypothesis) and more ecological niches for consumers (habitat diversity hypothesis) (Miller, 2012;Strona & Fattorini, 2014 Mendonça, 2007). Therefore, according to the plant family size hypothesis, larger plant families are expected to host more parasites (de Araújo, 2011;de Araújo et al, , 2013Cuevas-Reyes, Quesada, Hanson, & Oyama, 2007;Dai et al, 2017;Fernandes, 1992; Gonçalves-Alvim, Fernandes, & Goncalves-Alvim, 2001;Lawton & Price, 1979;Mendonça, 2007;Price, 1977;Veldtman & McGeoch, 2003;Ward & Spalding, 1993 Albuquerque, 2012), as verified in the present study.…”

“…Higher dominance is associated with more host–consumer encounters (random placement hypothesis) and more ecological niches for consumers (habitat diversity hypothesis) (Miller, 2012; Strona & Fattorini, 2014). For example, the occurrence of more species in a plant family implies the existence of a greater number of available niches (de Araújo, dos Santos, & Gomes‐Klein, 2012; de Araújo, Silva, dos Santos, & Gomes‐klein, 2013; Joy & Crespi, 2012; Mendonça, 2007). Therefore, according to the plant family size hypothesis, larger plant families are expected to host more parasites (de Araújo, 2011; de Araújo et al., 2012, 2013; Cuevas‐Reyes, Quesada, Hanson, & Oyama, 2007; Dai et al., 2017; Fernandes, 1992; Gonçalves‐Alvim, Fernandes, & Goncalves‐Alvim, 2001; Lawton & Price, 1979; Mendonça, 2007; Price, 1977; Veldtman & McGeoch, 2003; Ward & Spalding, 1993).…”

“…Our results corroborate previous studies that indicate Fabaceae as the plant family that hosts the greatest diversity of galling insects in the Neotropical Region (Gagné 1994, Maia and Fernandes 2004, Araújo et al 2014b, Fernandes and Santos 2014). Local studies in different regions of Brazil found the same pattern (Gonçalves-Alvim and Fernandes 2001, Santos et al 2010, Araújo et al 2011, Araújo et al 2013, Araújo et al 2014a). Fabaceae is the most diverse plant family of the Cerrado with nearly 800 species, and so it is not surprising that it hosts the highest diversity of insect galls (Araújo et al 2014b).…”

“…Several studies in Brazil have produced local and regional lists of host plant species and their associated galls, especially in the South and Southeast regions ( e.g. Gonçalves-Alvim and Fernandes 2001, Maia and Fernandes 2004, Mendonça 2007, Maia et al 2008, Bregonci et al 2010), while in other regions, such as the Midwest, surveys are still scarce (Araújo et al 2013). In the present work, we provide a compilation of plant species that have been recorded to host insect galls in the state of Goiás in the Midwest Region of Brazil.…”
