Recent decades have seen increased research interest in the processes and mechanisms related to insect gall richness and host plants. The data set provided here includes 968 records of interactions between galling insects and host plants for the Cerrado biome. The data set comprises 505 species of 222 genera and 67 families of host plants. The botanical families most represented in the data set are Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Malpighiaceae and Melastomataceae, which account for ca. 48.5% of all records and 52% of the total number of species. The gall-inducing insects listed in the data set include 48 species of Cecidomyiidae and one species of Tephritidae. This data set is the first to compile inventories of plant-galling insect communities and information about the diversity and distribution of insect galls and their host plants in the Cerrado. The data set reveals knowledge gaps and opportunities for future research on patterns of diversity and distribution, and provides a basis for generating and testing new ecological hypotheses.

植物瘿性昆虫相互作用：Cerrado 的寄主植物及其诱导瘿的昆虫的数据集

近几十年来，人们对与虫瘿丰富度和寄主植物相关的过程和机制的研究兴趣增加。此处提供的数据集包括 968 条 Cerrado 生物群落的害虫与寄主植物之间相互作用的记录。该数据集包括寄主植物222属67科505种。数据集中代表最多的植物科是菊科、豆科、桃金娘科、锦葵科和黄花果科，它们占约。占所有记录的 48.5% 和物种总数的 52%。数据集中列出的致瘿昆虫包括Cecidomyiidae 48种和Tephritidae 1种。该数据集是第一个汇编植物瘿病昆虫群落清单以及有关昆虫瘿及其寄主植物在塞拉多的多样性和分布的信息的数据集。该数据集揭示了未来关于多样性和分布模式的知识差距和机会，并为生成和测试新的生态假设提供了基础。在出版物中使用当前数据时，请引用此数据文件，并让我们知道这些数据在出版物中的使用情况。没有版权限制。在出版物中使用当前数据时，请引用此数据文件，并让我们知道这些数据在出版物中的使用情况。没有版权限制。在出版物中使用当前数据时，请引用此数据文件，并让我们知道这些数据在出版物中的使用情况。没有版权限制。
