Review of the inquilinous fauna associated with insect galls in Brazilian restingas
Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Several records of associated fauna, including parasitoids, inquilines, predators, and successors, have been reported by insect gall inventories in Brazilian restingas. Although most guilds are well established, inquilines have frequently been misinterpreted. In this paper, the inquilinous fauna of insec...
Phenolic substances and cyanogenesis in galled and non-galled tissue of the fern species Microgramma vacciniifolia
Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Galls, neo-formed plant structures that can occur in different organs, are generated by species-specific interaction with an inducing organism. Inducers manipulate the metabolism of its host. Microgramma vacciniifolia (Langsd. & Fisch.) Copel. is a Neotropical epiphytic fern that hosted two stem galls, o...
Crotalaria and millet as alternative controls of root-knot nematodes infecting okra
Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (3), 2020
The relationship of crops grown in rotation or in succession has increased every day and the use of antagonistic plants and/or non-host plants is one of the most efficient practices of integrated management of nematodes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of crotalaria (Crotalari...

Development of quantitative detection method for Meloidogyne incognita by qPCR
Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (1), 2020
The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) is the most important plant-parasitic nematode genus, they are the most common and destructive pathogens in this group. They produce some of the most drastic symptoms in plants and can significantly reduce the yield of crops. In order to achieve deploy an...
Morphological characterization of insect galls and new records of associated invertebrates in a Cerrado area in Bahia State, Brazil
Braz. j. biol; 78 (4), 2018
Abstract In this study, we report the first records and morphological characterization of galls in a Cerrado area in western Bahia, Brazil. The data were collected monthly over two hours between March and September 2015. Fifteen gall morphotypes were found in twelve plant species distributed among seven ...
Insect galls from Córdoba, Argentina: a case where stem galls predomínate
Rev. biol. trop; 66 (3), 2018
Abstract Galls are structures produced by plants in response to the activity of several types of organisms. Gall-inducing species have a close relationship with their host plant, as their habitat is largely restricted to the gall and the plant organ in which it develops. All plant organs are susceptible ...
Insect Galls of the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (Southeast Region, Brazil)
An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT The Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (PNI) (Brazilian Southeast Region) was surveyed monthly for insect galls from February/2014 to December/ 2015. A total of 432 gall morphotypes were found. This number places the PNI as the richest Atlantic forest area in number of gall morphotypes. The galls were ...
Clinodiplosis agerati (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a new galling species associated with Ageratum conyzoides (Asteraceae) from Brazil
Braz. j. biol; 76 (3), 2016
Abstract Clinodiplosis agerati, a new galling species that induces stem galls on Ageratum conyzoides (Asteraceae) is described and illustrated (larva, pupa, male, female and gall) based on material collected in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The new species is compared with the other Neotropical species. This is ...
