Tese (Doutorado em Química) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2014.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/4354Leaf entomofauna variation in eleven Caryocar brasiliense populations from central Brazilian Cerrado was analyzed based on total phenolic contents, as well as edaphic and spatial parameters of the sampling sites. Insects of the order Coleoptera had low occurrence in leaves that showed high levels of total phenols and tannins. However, they were found in leaves of plants growing on soils with higher micronutrient contents. Insects of the orders developed galls on plants with high levels of total and hydrolysable tannins. Hemiptera showed a homogeneous distribution, whereas species of the orders Neuroptera, Diptera, and Orthoptera behaved as visiting insects, without establishing any relationship with C. brasiliense during field observations. Approximately 97% of the entomofauna variability was explained by edaphic, chemical, and spatial data sets as predictor variables, whose contributions were 64.5%, 22.7%, and 60.6% of the total variation, respectively. Most of the residual variance (2.9%) was attributed to the anthropization of sampling sites.application/pdfAcesso AbertoCaryocar brasiliensePhenolicsChemovariationEntomofaunaSpatial variationSoil degradationFenólicosQuiometriaEntomofaunaVariância espacialDegradação do soloTECNOLOGIA QUIMICA::PRODUTOS NATURAISTese
