“…increasing the species richness and of rarefaction curves with a greatest diversity of species of these groups on the adaxial leaf surface of A. auriculiformis saplings, may be due to lower effort by them on this surface (e.g., walk) (Le Goff et al, 2009). These results did not confirm our hypothesis: phytophagous insects would prefer the abaxial leaf surface with highest ecological indexes on this surface due to feeding facility (e.g., softer tissue) and high protection (e.g., predators) (Leite et al, 2008(Leite et al, , 2011Fiene et al, 2013;Damascena et al, 2017). Acacia auriculiformis leaves are dense, bipinate with petioles and 8 to 22.5 cm long and 10 to 52 mm wide, with three longitudinal and many secondary ribs (Doran and Turnbull, 1997).…”

“…Insects use plant leaves for food, oviposition, and refuge, and the leaf characteristics can determine the interaction between plants and insects. Phytophagous (e.g., sap-sucking) insects, usually, prefer the abaxial leaf surface due to its softer tissue, thinner epidermis, and more prominent ribs (Leite et al, 2008;Fiene et al, 2013;Damascena et al, 2017). In addition, insects on this leaf surface are more protected against predators and climatic factors (e.g., solar radiation) (Leite et al, 2011).…”

“…However, plants are not passive with mechanical defenses (e.g., trichomes) and secondary metabolites to protect themselves from herbivores (Lima et al, 2017). The preference for specific leaf surfaces on their host plants may help to develop sampling and pest management plans for phytophagous insects and to conserve bees and predator populations (Naranjo and Flint, 1995;Leite et al, 2008).…”

Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. Ex Benth. (Fabaceae), a non-native pioneer species in Brazil with fast growth and rusticity, is used in restoration programs. Our goal was to assess during a 24-month survey the pattern of arthropods (phytophagous insects, bees, spiders, and predator insects) on the leaf surfaces of A. auriculiformis saplings. Fourteen species of phytophagous, two of bees and eleven of predators were most abundant on the adaxial surface. The values of the ecological indexes (abundance, diversity, and species richness) and the rarefaction, and k-dominance curves of phytophagous, bees and arthropod predators were highest on the adaxial leaf surface of A. auriculiformis. The k-dominance and abundance of Aleyrodidae (Hemiptera) (both leaf surfaces), the native stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (both leaf surfaces) and the ant Brachymyrmex sp. (adaxial surface) and Pheidole sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (abaxial surface) were the highest between the taxonomic groups of phytophagous, bees, and predators, respectively on A. auriculiformis saplings. The ecological indexes and rarefaction, abundance, and k-dominance curves of phytophagous insects, bees, and predators were highest on the adaxial leaf surface. The preference of phytophagous insects for the adaxial leaf surface is probably due to the lower effort required to move on this surface. Understanding the arthropod preferences between leaf surfaces may help to develop sampling and pest management plans for the most abundant phytophagous insects on A. auriculiformis saplings. Also, knowledge on the preference pattern of bees and predators may be used to favour their conservation.

“…Herbivorous insects can damage different plant parts, including their leaves (adaxial and abaxial surfaces) (Leite et al, 2008). Sap-sucking insects prefer the abaxial leaf surface due to its softer tissue, thin epidermis and more protuberant veins (Leite et al, 2008;Damascena et al, 2017).…”

Acacia mangium (Willd., 1806) (Fabales: Fabaceae) is a fast growing, rustic, pioneer species, with potential to fix nitrogen, and for programs to recover degraded areas. The objective was to evaluate the distribution and the functional diversity of interactions and the K-dominance of arthropod groups on A. mangium saplings. The number of individuals of eleven species of phytophagous insects, three bee species, and fourteen natural enemy species were highest on the adaxial leaf surface of this plant. Abundance, diversity and species richness of phytophagous insects and natural enemies, and abundance and species richness of pollinators were highest on the adaxial A. mangium leaf surface. The distribution of five species of sap-sucking hemipterans and six of protocooperating ants (Hymenoptera), with positive interaction between these groups, and three bee species (Hymenoptera) were aggregated on leaves of A. mangium saplings. Aethalion reticulatum (L.) (Hemiptera: Aethalionidae) and Bemisia sp. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae); Brachymyrmex sp. and Camponotus sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae); and Trigona spinipes Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Apidae) were the most dominant phytophagous insects, natural enemies, and pollinators, respectively, on A. mangium leaves. Knowledge of preferred leaf surfaces could help integrated pest management programs.

“…and the herbivore mite Histiostoma sp. on C. brasiliense leaves shows the importance of that natural enemy controlling phytophagous mites and the necessity of increasing floristic diversity to maintain or to increase its populations (Leite et al, 2008;Saber and Rasmy, 2010;Eichelberger et al, 2011).…”

The study of arthropod communities foraging on monocultures of native plants (e.g. Caryocar brasiliense) in biodiversity hotspots (e.g. Brazilian Cerrado) is important to understand the processes driving their performance. This study evaluated the possible interactions between galling herbivores, free-feeding arthropods, and of their natural enemies on C. brasiliense trees, in an orchard (monoculture). The possible competition observed were: i) between galling insects with defoliators and phytophagous mites, ii) between sucking insects, iii) between phytophagous mites and, iv) between Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) with Histiostoma sp. (Acari: Histiostomidae) on C. brasiliense trees. Numbers of predators and prey, parasitoids and hosts, and predators and parasitoids were directly related among them. The competitive interactions between herbivorous predator and parasitoid may reduce Eurytoma sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) populations, a potential pest of C. brasiliense. The predator Zelus armillatus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and the parasitoids Sycophila sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) and Ablerus magistretti (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) are important to determine the numbers of Eurytoma sp. and of its galls. These natural enemies may be important to control this galling insect on C. brasiliense trees. The arthropod competition affected their guild associated to C. brasiliense trees.
