1. Morphological and bioecological aspects of Epichrysocaris burwelli (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) the gall wasp of Corymbia citriodora (Myrtaceae) leaves / Aspectos morfo-bioecológicos de Epichrysocharis burwelli (Eulophidae, Hymenoptera), vespa-das-galhas das folhas de Corymbia citriodora
This research deals with aspects of morphology, biology and ecology of Epichrysocaris burwelli a micro-wasp inducing galls on leaves of Corymbia citriodora, and recently introduced in Brazil. The following parameters were studied: percentage of galls on the leaf, time of adult emergence, adult longevity, sex ratio and characterization of the male, duration o

2. Complex interactions envolving a gall midge Myrciamyia maricaensis Maia (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), phytophagous modifiers and parasitoids
Myrciamyia maricaensis Maia, 1995 (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) induces a gall in lateral and apical shoots in the plant Myrcia lundiana Kiaersk (Myrtaceae) which is used and modified by two eulophid wasps species. In both cases the gall former species suffer high rate of attack exceeding the importance of parasitoid species as mortality factors. In this study th

3. Interações em tres niveis troficos envolvendo galhas de Neolasioptera cupheaeGagne (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) e seus parasitoides em Cuphea carthagenensis (Jacq.) Macbride (Lythraceae)
Neolasioptera cupheae Gagné (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) induces a stem gall on the herbaceous pIant Cuphea carthagellellsis (Jacq.) Macbride (Lythraceae). The gall is covered with a dense layer of glandular trichomes which secret a thicky and adhesive substance. In this study we described biological aspects of the gall maker. its population fluctuation and the

4. Pollination and parasitism in functionally dioecious figs.
Fig wasps (Agaonidae: Hymenoptera) are seed predators and their interactions with Ficus species (Moraceae) range from mutualism to parasitism. Recently considerable attention has been paid to conflicts of interest between the mutualists and how they are resolved in monoecious fig species. However, despite the fact that different conflicts can arise, little i

5. Altered host plant volatiles are proxies for sex pheromones in the gall wasp Antistrophus rufus
We describe a previously uncharacterized function for changes in plant chemistry induced by phytophagous insects: to provide cues for mate location. Larvae of the gall wasp Antistrophus rufus Gillette (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) feed within inconspicuous galls inside the flowering stems of the prairie perennials Silphium laciniatum L. and Silphium terebinthinac
