“…Excetuando-se as encontradas em Vernonia polyanthes, T. chrysotricha e L. camara, todas as galhas registradas neste estudo podem ser consideradas novos registros com enorme potencial para representarem espécies novas para a ciência (Maia & Fernandes, 2005;Almeida et al, 2006). As galhas mais freqüentes foram encontradas em plantas que se distribuem amplamente na área.…”

The galling insect community in a disturbed area of Atlantic rain forest is described for the first time in the context of environmental restoration in the RPPN Fazenda Bulcão, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We provide information on the external morphology of the galls, their occurrence on host plant organs, host plant species, and habitat types were they were collected. We sampled galls in three different habitats: abandoned pasture, secondary succession vegetation, and secondary succession vegetation dominated by Miracruodon urundeuva (Anacardiaceae), totaling 22 sites. Within these sites we encountered 29 gall morphotypes associated to 24 host-plant species. The majority of the galls (93%) were induced by Cecidomyiidae (Diptera). Abandoned pastures contained the greatest gall-species richness (19 morphotypes), followed by secondary succession vegetation dominated by M. urundeuva (16 morphotypes) and secondary succession vegetation (10 morphotypes). The diversity of galling insects encountered at Fazenda Bulcão was considered very low in comparison to that of the entire mid Rio Doce region. Keywords: abandoned pasture, bioindicators, galling insects, Atlantic rain forest, restoration ecology.

“…Wool & Burstein (1991) detected between 13-33% of Smynthurodes betae (Aphididae) galls housing parasitoids in different sites. Almeida et al (2006) detected 2.5% of parasitism by insect parasitoids in galls induced by Anisodiplosis waltheriae Maia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) while in other Cecidomyiidae Maia & Tavares (2000) observed along 12 months parasitoidism rates between 32-79% in Cordiamyia globosa Maia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae).…”

Galls of Cecidoses eremita Curtis and Eucecidoses minutanus Brèthes (Lepidoptera: Cecidosidae) in Magdalena, Buenos Aires Province: preliminary study and associated fauna

2016

In Argentina, five galling species of the family Cecidosidae (Lepidoptera), including Cecidoses eremita Curtis and Eucecidoses minutanus Brèthes, have been cited. This note reports a preliminary study of their galls in "molles" (Schinus longifolius (Lindl.) Speg.) of Magdalena (Buenos Aires, Argentina). In April 2013, galls of C. eremita and E. minutanus were censused in randomly selected "molles". In April and December 2013, randomly selected galls were then collected and transported to our laboratory in hermetic bags, and conserved at -18 ºC until examination. Maximum diameter and wall thickness of collected galls were measured. About 84% of the observed "molles" (103/123) had galls of C. eremita and/or E. minutanus. The median of galls per tree was 12 (Q1=6; Q3=22). Eucecidoses minutanus had galls with smaller diameter (U 11;53 = 583; P<0.05) and thinner wall (U 10;52 =506.5; P<0..05) than C. eremita. In open galls, we found Pseudoescorpionida, Araneae (Segestriidae and Salticidae), and larvae of Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Within closed galls, we found adults of Torymidae and Chalcidoidea, and larvae of Ichneumonoidea.

Coumarinolignans with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and NF-κB Inhibitory Activities from the Roots of Waltheria indica

et al. 2022

Seven new coumarinolignans, walthindicins A–F (1a, 1b, 2–5, 7), along with five known analogs (6, 8–11), were isolated from the roots of Waltheria indica. The structures of the new compounds are determined by detailed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), circular dichroism (CD) with extensive computational support, and mass spectroscopic data interpretation. Compounds were tested for their antioxidant activity in Human Cervical Cancer cells (HeLa cells). Compounds 1a and 6 showed higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitory activity at 20 μg/mL when compared with other natural compound-based antioxidants such as ascorbic acid. Considering the role of ROS in nuclear-factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation, compounds 1a and 6 were evaluated for NF-κB inhibitory activity and showed a concentration-dependent inhibition in Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells (Luc-HEK-293).
