1. Native parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Serra da Bodoquena National Park-MS, Brazil
Resumo: As moscas-das-frutas estão entre os principais grupos de insetos fitófagos. Suas larvas, ao se alimentarem da polpa ou das sementes dos frutos hospedeiros, podem causar podridão e favorecer a entrada de patógenos. Sendo assim, os objetivos desse estudo foram: (1) Conhecer as associações tróficas entre as espécies de parasitoides e moscas das

2. Assembleia de Alticini (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) em fragmentos florestais no sudoeste do Paraná, Brasil
RESUMO Alticini é a maior tribo de Chrysomelidae e representa grande parte da fauna de insetos fitófagos. Entretanto, o conhecimento dessa tribo no sudoeste do Paraná é inexistente e neste estudo o objetivo foi buscar informações sobre a riqueza, abundância, diversidade e composição das assembleias nesta região. O estudo foi realizado semanalmente,

3. Isolation and Identification of Cellulolytic Bacteria from the Gut of Three Phytophagus Insect Species
The cellulolytic bacteria from the gut of three different phytophagous insects were studied to isolate novel cellulolytic organism for biofuel industry. Among the threse, gut of P. quatuordecimpunctata larvae contained both highest no of total bacterial count (6.8x107CFU/gut) and cellulolytic bacteria (5.42x103CFU/gut). Fifteen different isolates were obtain

4. Insects associated with tropical foliage produced in the coffee growing region of Colombia
We conducted a survey of insects and pest management practices on 34 farms growing ornamental tropical foliage plants in the central coffee region of Colombia over two years. Tropical foliage provided habitat for a diverse range of insects. In total, phytophagous or detritivorous insects from six orders, 40 families and 62 genera were collected. The most com

5. How specialists can be generalists: resolving the "parasite paradox" and implications for emerging infectious disease
The parasite paradox arises from the dual observations that parasites (broadly construed, including phytophagous insects) are resource specialists with restricted host ranges, and yet shifts onto relatively unrelated hosts are common in the phylogenetic diversification of parasite lineages and directly observable in ecological time. We synthesize the emergin

6. Effect of conspecific and plant volatiles of Murraya paniculata (L.) JACK, Psidium guajava L. and Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck on the behavior OF Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) / Efeito dos coespecíficos e voláteis das plantas Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack, Psidium guajava L. e Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck sobre o comportamento de Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera:Psyllidae)
The agro-ecosystems consist of complex trophic relationships between plants, herbivores and their natural enemies. It is known that the majority of plants can produce volatiles compounds used as chemical signals by different groups of insects. These compounds can be produced constitutively in healthy plants, i.e., without induction. In other hand, the produc

7. Interações ecológicas em Malpighiaceae no cerrado: compartilhamento de guildas de herbívoros e variações nos resultados da interação formiga-planta / Ecological interactions in Malpighiaceae in the Cerrado: sharing of guilds from herbivores and variations in the results of ant-plant interaction
Ecological interactions represent essential tools for a better understanding of natural communities, having in animal-plant relationships important models for study. For that, become needful phenological analyses of plants, capable of demonstrating the flowering strategies and with it the ways of temporal organization of resources available for herbivores. T

8. Controle hormonal da defesa à herbivoria em tomateiro / Hormonal control of herbivory defense in tomato
Even though the cultivation of tomato has a high economical importance, this culture is classified as being of elevated risk because of it common infestation by pests and diseases. This problem makes this culture greatly dependent of the application of several agrochemicals, which leads to increase in cost of production, environmental damages and also facili

9. Sistema hospedeiro-parasitoide associado à Piper glabratum Künth e P. mollicomum Künth (Piperaceae) no município de São Carlos, SP
This work presents biology and ecology data of host parasitoid insects associated with two plant species of the genus Piper L. (Piperaceae) ‐ P. glabratum and P. mollicomum. The phytophagous species studied belong to the order Lepidoptera and their parasitoids to the Hymenoptera and Diptera. The samples were carried out by entomological umbrella; the c

10. Costs and benefits of ant attendance to the extrafloral nectaries of Crotalaria pallida (Fabaceae) / Custos e beneficios da visita de formigas aos nectarios extraflorais de Crotalaria pallida (Fabaceae)
Ants may have a positive or negative effect on the fitness of the plants with which they interact, depending on its relationship with herbivores, pollinators and seed dispersers. A remarkable characteristic of the interactions between ants and plants is the high frequency with which they are mutualistic. The supposed benefit of these interactions is that the

11. Entomofauna asociada a cultivos hortícolas orgánicos y convencionales en Córdoba, Argentina
Farming practices and the addition of chemical synthetic substances in conventional agroecosystems are detrimental mainly to natural enemies of phytophagous insects, diminishing the natural regulation of pest insects. On the other hand, in organic agriculture, biological processes and care of the environment are favoured, hence an increase in insect biodiver

12. Immature stages, internal morphology and morphometry of Platyscytus decempunctatus (Carvalho, 1945) (Heteroptera: Miridae) / Estágios imaturos, morfologia interna e morfometria de Platyscytus decempunctatus (Carvalho, 1945) (Heteroptera: Miridae)
Platyscytus decempunctatus (Heteroptera: Miridae) is a small mirid (three to four mm) found in plants of Solanum cernuum Vell. (Solanaceae), where it develops throughout its life cicle. The study of the insect internal morphology describes the basic internal tracts of the salivary glands, the midgut, the male and female reproductive structures and the Malpig
