Diversity of galling arthropods and host plants in a subtropical forest of Porto Alegre, southern Brazil

Abstract: Neotropical Entomology 35(5): 616-624 (2006) Diversidade de Artrópodos Galhadores e Plantas Hospedeiras em uma Floresta Subtropical em Porto Alegre, Sul do Brasil RESUMO -Muitas hipóteses têm sido propostas para explicar os padrões de diversidade de insetos galhadores, porém existem evidências contraditórias quanto aos principais processos ecológicos e evolutivos responsáveis por esses padrões. Adicionalmente, questões como sazonalidade dos artrópodos, suficiência amostral e aprendizado dos amostradores têm… Show more

“…This was performed in order to account for possible differences since forest patches exhibit their own dynamics of expansion over grasslands (Oliveira & Pillar 2004). Sampling was carried out in five occasions cumulatively: December 2010, and April, May, June and September 2011; given the absence of seasonality for the gallers of this region (Dalbem & Mendonça 2006) and the sampling of both forest types in each occasion, gall seasonality is not expected to affect the results. Five sampling sites for each forest type were in a recovering area (PM) and five were in disturbed areas (three at TC and two at TE), totalizing ten sampling sites per forest type.…”

“…Lately, there were studies on the diversity of subtropical forests of the region (Dalbem & Mendonça 2006;Mendonça 2007;Mendonça et al 2010) with a single new gall-midge genus and two species described from there (Maia et al 1996;Maia et al 2009). Despite the Araucaria forest being a relatively well-studied and very characteristic landscape (Ribeiro et al 2009), its galling insect fauna remains unknown.…”

“…In tropical areas, where the taxonomic knowledge of gall midges is scarce, the use of gall morphotypes associated with host species as a surrogate of the inducer species is widespread in ecological studies (e.g., Fernandes & Price 1988;Fernandes et al , 2001Araújo et al 2003;Dalbem & Mendonça. 2006;Urso-Guimarães & Scareli-Santos 2006).…”

“…Understanding spatial patterns of species distribution is a crucial topic in ecology and conservation biology; for instance, when predicting species richness from local to regional scales (Gering & Crist 2002). An important problem when comparing studies of gallinducing arthropods richness is the use of different sampling methods (Dalbem & Mendonça 2006). But, independent of sampling methods, one result that remains consistent across all studies is that local distribution of gall-inducing arthropods shows low similarity between the sampled sites (see Blanche & Westoby 1996, Gonçalves-Alvin & Fernandes 2001, Cuevas-Reyes et al 2003, Medianero et al 2003.…”
