Mini review of parasitoids collected in biomes and morphoclimatic domains in Brazil

Abstract

In Brazil we can find six types of biomes: Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampa, Pantanal, and two morphoclimatic domains: the Araucaria Forest the Mata from Cocais. Our biomes and morphoclimatic domains are important not only as natural resources in our country but stand out as environments of great natural wealth on the planet. The aim of this study is to describe the parasitoids collected in Brazilian biomes. The mini review consists of a bibliographic summary of parasitoids of the Order Hymenoptera parasitoids collected in the following Biomes and morphoclimatic domain in Brazil. The research was carried out in studies related to the theme with emphasis on the quantitative aspects of the superfamily, family, subfamilies, genera, and species (Taxonomic groups). A bibliographic search was carried out that contained papers published from 2006 to June 2021.The mini review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás from March to June 2021using the Electronic Scientific Library Online (Scielo) and internet. This biodiversity can offer unique opportunity for pest control in both Brazil and other countries, due to the identification of new organisms with potential to be used in biological control.
