“…Since the late 1980s, numerous inventories of galls have been developed in Brazil, in the Southeast (e.g., Carneiro et al 2009a, Fernandes et al 1988, Gonc¸alves-Alvim & Fernandes 2001, Maia 2013a, Rodrigues et al 2014, Saito & Urso-Guimarã es 2012, South (Toma & Mendonc¸a Jr. 2013), Midwest (Araú jo et al 2014, Juliã o et al 2002, Santos et al 2010, Santos et al 2012b), Northeast (Carvalho-Fernandes et al 2012, Costa et al 2014a, 2014b, Fernandes et al 2009, Santos et al 2012a, Silva et al 2011b, Silva & Almeida-Cortez 2006 and North (Almada & Fernandes 2011, Araú jo et al 2012, Juliã o et al 2005, Maia 2011, Silva et al 2011a), Atlantic Forest and Cerrado being the environments most studied.…”

We inventoried and characterized the kinds of gall, gall-inducing insects and host plants from Serra Geral between August 2013 and July 2014. Two phytophysiognomies, cerrado sensu stricto and caatinga-cerrado, were examined monthly along transects during ca. 4 hours per visit, totaling 48 hours of sampling effort. A total of 49 gall morphotypes were found on 14 species of host plants in 18 genera and 13 families. Fabaceae and Malpighiaceae were the families with the most galls, with 22 and 10 gall morphotypes, respectively. The genera of host plant with the greatest richness of galls were Copaifera L. (n ¼ 10), Bauhinia Benth. (n ¼ 6), and Mimosa L. (n ¼ 5). Galls were found on leaves, buds and stems. The majority of the galls were globoid, glabrous, isolated, and one-chambered. The inducers belong to Coleoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera, Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) being the most frequent and diverse gall-inducers. The associated fauna included parasitoids (Hymenoptera), successors (Formicidae), and predators (Pseudoscorpiones), obtained from 13, 2, and 1 gall morphotypes, respectively. Five plant taxa are recorded as hosts of gall-inducing insects for the first time.

“…Guapira opposita is a superhost of galling herbivores, which had already appeared in inventories of the restingas in the Southeastern region of Brazil, with up to ten different morphotypes (Maia, 2001;Maia et al, 2008;Maia & Oliveira, 2010;Maia, 2013). These plant species hosts a galling Diptera: Cecidomyiidae, one of the most specialized group of galling herbivores (Maia et al, 2008;Maia, 2013). This plant species is also an important structuring species of the post-dune formations (shrub restinga), occurring less frequently in the herbaceous dunes (Melo Jr., 2015).…”

“…The vouchers were deposited in the Herbarium of the Universidade de Joinville (JOI). The identification of the galling insects was based on the revision of galls from the Southeastern Brazil (Maia, 2013). The gall morphotypes were classified according to Isaias et al (2013), and photographed under a desk magnifier (model Toyo TL1020, 5 times magnifying lenses), with the aid of a digital camera, model Samsung ES68.…”

“…The diversity of galls in the restingas has been mainly inventoried in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Espírito Santo states (Maia, 2001;Oliveira & Maia, 2005;Maia, Magenta, & Martins, 2008;Bregonci, Polycarpo, & Maia, 2010;Maia, 2013). In contrast, the literature on galls and their inducers from the coastal regions of Southern Brazil is restricted to a single inventory in Rio Grande do Sul state (Mendonça Jr., Piccardi, Janhke, & Dalbem, 2010).…”

Abstract:The Atlantic Coast Restinga is a mosaic of plant communities with a distinct floristic and phytophysiognomy, exposed to luminous, thermal, and saline stresses. Plants of the restinga must have special features commonly associated to xeric environments, and are expected to host a high diversity of galling herbivores. We studied gall morphotypes, and recorded the diversity of galls on plants growing in sand dunes in a remnant area of restinga (Acaraí State Park) in São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The sampling was done in four plots (250 x 5 m), constituting a total area of 5 000 m², during April, May and June. Plant branches (n ≥ 5) with galls were sampled, identified, and the galls were photographed. The galls were classified into eight morphotypes, associated to eight host plants constituting 15 host plants -galling herbivores systems. The identification of the gall -inducers was based on literature, and on the species-specific feature of this kind of host plant-gall inducers interaction. There was a predominance of leaf galls, green in color. The most common morphotypes were the globoid, lenticular, conical, rosette, marginal, and fusiform galls, similarly to the inventories performed on other Brazilian biomes. Despite the environmental stresses, the xeric features of the dunes of the ASP, and the high local plant diversity, the diversity of galling herbivores were low. Varronia curassavica (Boraginaceae), Smilax campestris (Smilacaceae), and Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae) were superhosts of galling herbivores in the dunes, with about 70 % of the total associated parasites. The environmental effect seems to be neutral, either for the host plants or for the generation of gall morphotypes. Alternatively, the scarce nutritional resources could be restrictive for the establishment of the galling herbivores inside plant tissues. Rev. Biol. Trop. 63 (4): 959-970. Epub 2015 December 01.
