Galling insects have been recommended as an excellent tool to evaluate environmental changes and habitat quality. In this study, we assessed the richness of gall morphospecies, as well as host-plant richness and abundance, to detect environmental changes in six patches of secondary Atlantic Forest in Northeast Brazil. The patches of forest varied in age (between 25 and 42 yrs) and size. In each patch, the plants between 1 and 3 meters tall were evaluated for a period of one hour, totaling six hours. A total of 50 gall morphospecies were found on 37 host-plant species (88 plant individuals). We identified 27 (72%) host-plant species belonging to 19 plant families. Richness of gall morphospecies and host-plant richness and abundance were not ...
