Summary

When walking through the Cerrado biome, it is possible to observe a series of interactions between different organisms. Among these interactions, we can highlight insect-plant interactions, which can be beneficial for both or cause damage to one of the associated organisms. In the comic book entitled “BIO HQ: Biology in comics”, an interesting story is shown based on a post-graduate research project in ecology at the Federal University of Uberlândia. These comics explained how the interaction of a plant species common to the Cerrado (Macairea radula) with a lepidopteran that causes “tumors” (Palaeomystella oligophaga) and with parasitoids that feed of the lepidoptera (Calliephialtes sp.), a complex relationship called the multitrophic system. In addition to being complex, this relationship is not at all smooth: there are disputes, losses and damages.
