Humberto Monte, s/n, Campus do Pici, 60021-970 Fortaleza, CE, Brasil Manuscript received on February 22, 2013; accepted for publication on January 30, 2014 ABSTRACT Information about the use of floristic resources of the immediate edges of ombrophilous forest (Atlantic rainforest) fragments by stingless bees is not readily available in the scientific literature. Considering the importance of these plant species for local guilds of stingless bees, this study aimed to identify and characterize the flora of the immediate borders of four Atlantic rainforest fragments situated in Baturité massif, state of Ceará, used as food resource by stingless bees. We studied the growth-form of the plants, the floristic similarity between edges and the effect of rainfall on the flowering, and suggested simple techniques for handling these areas. We compiled a total of 82 plant species with a predominance of tree and shrub form. There were different floristic richness between areas and rainfall had differentiated influence on flowering, according to the edge. We concluded that the florist components of the studied edges are relevant to the stingless bee guilds, but alternative management practices are needed to conserve both plant and bee species. Key words: deciduous forest, floristics, fragmented habitat, stingless bee, trophic resource. INTRODUCTION recently Viana et al.

We examined the effects of the sit-and-wait spider Misumenops argenteus (Thomisidae) on the herbivore assemblage and ®tness of the perennial woody shrub Tri- chogoniopsis adenantha (Asteraceae). Because crab spiders prey on both pollinators and phytophagous insects, they can have potentially negative and positive effects on plants. In a manipulative experiment using paired plants, spiders decreased the density of sucking and some endophagous herbivores on the leaves and capitula and reduced the number of damaged achenes produced by the plants. Damaged capitula had a higher proportion of fertilized achenes in plants with spiders than without spiders, but not undamaged capitula. These results indicate that M. argenteus exerted a double positive effect on seed production in T. adenantha. The effect of M. argenteus on herbivores may be taxon speci®c and vary among years with different herbivore abundances.

Foram obtidas 64 espécies de endófagos (dípteros e lepidópteros) de 49 espécies de hospedeiras. Aproximadamente metade das espécies foi obtida de apenas uma área, e destas uma grande proporção ocorreu em apenas uma amostra (unicatas). Trinta por cento das espécies foram consideradas “singletons” (apenas um indivíduo foi obtido). A grande quantidade de espécies raras sugere uma forte troca de espécies entre diferentes áreas. Lepidópteros foram registrados em mais espécies hospedeiras que dípteros, confirmando o já observado para o mesmo sistema de insetos e plantas em outros ambientes no Brasil e Europa.

Attendant ants obtain a South Africa’s Cape Floristic Region. We propose that the high-energy carbohydrate of predictable availability, while mealybug’s behavior and waxy coating are adaptations for the homopteran trophobiont gains protection from natural circumventing plant stickiness. Our observations might enemies and potential benefits of sanitation (honeydew re- represent the first documentation of plant stickiness dis- moval), maintenance of host-plant quality, and transport. In rupting an ant–homopteran association. a California, USA, arboretum, we observed large numbers of dead and dying Argentine ants (Linepithema humile)that Keywords Argentine ant Á Mealybug Á Delottococcus had become entrapped on viscid flower buds and flowers of confusus Á Waxy secretions Á Erica Á Sticky plants Á South African species of Erica as they attempted to tend a Ant–homopteran association Á Tritrophic interactions South African mealybug (Delottococcus confusus). Mealy- bugs on viscid ericas were found on clusters of small buds before they had become sticky (and later in other areas that Introduction minimized exposure to stickiness). As buds developed, they became viscid, enclosing mealybugs within sticky flower The Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) is globally wide- parts and precluding further attendance by ants.
