-(Pollination and other biotic interactions in figs of Ficus eximia Schott (Moraceae)). During the period from 1992 to 1997, interactions of several organisms and Ficus eximia figs, a monoecious species, were studied in plants located in Campinas/SP and Londrina/PR (Brazil). Ficus eximia is pollinated by a single fig wasp species, Pegoscapus sp. (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae, Agaoninae), but also visited by other 14 non-pollinating wasps (Agaonidae, Eurytomidae, Torymidae). Mites (Tarsonemidae), nematodes (Diplogasteridae) and fungi which use the body of the pollinating fig wasp to disperse themselves were also observed.RESUMO -(Polinização e outras interações bióticas em sicônios de Ficus eximia Schott (Moraceae)).

Ficus eximia é polinizada por uma única espécie de vespa de figo, Pegoscapus sp. (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae, Agaoninae), e associada a outras 14 espécies de vespas não-polinizadoras (Agaonidae, Eurytomidae, Torymidae). Ácaros (Tarsonemidae), nematóides (Diplogasteridae) e fungos, os quais utilizam o corpo da vespa polinizadora para se dispersarem, foram também observados.

“…Além disso, a infestação pelos ácaros pode causar acentuada queda prematura dos frutos, a qual pode reduzir significativamente a produtividade da cultura. Nas Américas, até o momento, as espécies relatadas infestando frutos de coqueiro são Aceria guerreronis Keifer, Amrineus cocofolius Flechtmann e Steneotarsonemus furcatus De Leon (Keifer 1965, Ferreira et al 2001, Ochoa et al 1991. Entre essas espécies, A. guerreronis representa uma praga chave da cultura do coco na maioria das áreas de produção (Moore & Howard 1996).…”

“…Nos frutos coletados em Yucatán, colônias numerosas desse ácaro foram encontradas na reentrância dos frutos na extremidade oposta ao pedúnculo. Gables, Florida, EUA, tendo sido posteriormente coletada de coqueiros na Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Porto Rico e Venezuela (Ochoa et al 1991, Howard et al 1990, Smiley et al 1993) e na Malásia (Sathiamma 1995). No Brasil, a presença do ácaro havia sido relatada apenas em Pernambuco (Gondim Jr. & Oliveira 2001).…”

Neotropical Entomology 34(2): 349-354 (2005) Acarofauna Associated with Coconut Fruits (Cocos nucifera L.) from some Localities in America ABSTRACT -Phytophagous and predatory mites associated with fruits of coconut from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, USA and Venezuela were identified in this study. Three species of phytophagous mites (two Eriophyidae, one Tarsonemidae), four species of predatory mites (two Ascidae, two Phytoseiidae), and two species with unknown feeding habit (one Eupodidae, one Tydeidae) were found. Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Eriophyidae) were found in samples from Alagoas, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe and São Paulo, Brazil; and also from Cuba, Mexico, USA and Venezuela. Amrineus cocofolius Flechtmann (Eriophyidae) was found in samples from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Sergipe, Brazil, from Colombia and from Mexico. The tarsonemid Steneotarsonemus furcatus De Leon was found on fruits from Alagoas, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Sergipe, Brazil. Symptoms observed on fruits infested by these phytophagous mites were described. The Ascidae species found were Proctolaelaps longipilis Chant and Proctolaelaps sp.; and the Phytoseiidae species were Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) ornatus (Denmark & Muma) and Typhlodromalus manihoti (Moraes). For our knowledge, these predator species were registered for the first time from coconut fruits around the world.

Neotropical Entomology 37(4): 457-462 (2008) PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ácaro do coqueiro, ácaro predador, controle biológico, PhytoseiidaeABSTRACT -Aceria guerreronis Keifer can cause severe damage to coconuts in several countries around the world. Rare studies have been conducted to determine the predatory mites associated with A. guerreronis in Brazil. The study evaluated the prevalence of A. guerreronis and associated predators on the bracts and on the surface of the fruits underneath the bracts, for 12 months, on coconut palms grown along the coast of the States of Alagoas, Paraíba and Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. Mites of 10 families were found, but by far the most abundant species was A. guerreronis, corresponding to 99.5% of the mites collected. The prevailing species amongst the predators were the Phytoseiidae mites Neoseiulus baraki (AthiasHenriot) and Neoseiulus paspalivorus (De Leon). These are fl at mites that have short limbs, characteristics that allow them to invade the main habitat occupied by A. guerreronis. Other predators were found, but in low numbers, due mainly to their diffi culty in reaching the fruit areas most inhabited by A. guerreronis. However, these mites could prey on that pest when it leaves its preferred habitat to disperse. No signifi cant correlations were observed between the levels of abiotic factors and the population levels of A. guerreronis or of the phytoseiids associated with it. This probably occurred due to the simultaneous and confl icting effects of those factors on the mites in the fi eld, or to signifi cant differences between the climatic factors measured in the environment and those prevailing in the habitat occupied by A. guerreronis.
