Edaphic insect fauna associated with reforestation with Schizolobium parahyba Barneby in Amazonia
Resumo
Currently, little is known about the edaphic insect fauna associated with
forest ecosystems with parica (Schizolobium parahyba var. Amazonicum) (Fabaceae) in
the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. The species presents great economic value to the timber
market; however, insects with potential damage to this crop have been identifi ed in periodic
surveys. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in commercial plantations of different
ages in the dry and rainy seasons, the abundance and dominance of major functional groups
of insects in forest ecosystems with parica. Collection was carried out using pitfall traps
exposed for 24 h. Insect identifi cation contemplated order and family. The results showed
that the number of insects was directly related to the precipitation regime, because the total
density of the insect fauna in the rainy season was 61% higher than in the dry season. During
the study period, 17,595 insects belonging to 11 orders and 37 families were captured. The
order Hymenoptera was the most abundant in the dry season, representing 92.20% of the
individuals captured. The highest number of families (15) was found in the order Coleoptera.
In the rainy season, the two and three year-old plantings showed greater richness of orders
(9), but fewer families (22 and 21), respectively. Five-year-old plantings were the richest
regarding families (26), mainly for being more stable environments. The most important
functional groups were herbivores, predators, and social insects.
