Abstract Cerrado is the largest and most biodiverse savannah worldwide. However, only a reduced amount of this ecosystem conserved, in last decades, vast agricultural expansion resulted substitution native vegetation for exotic pasturelands. Insects are key components both ecosystems Cerrado, performing critical functions maintenance. Our goal was to evaluate how transformation natural into cattle pastures (exotic pastures) affects insect communities biome. We conducted meta‐analysis using data on species richness abundance assemblages from conserved pastures. The analysis based set 23 scientific articles. Fourteen studies focused Coleoptera nine Hymenoptera. Conserved encompassed higher insects than pastures, but their did not differ between these two habitats. dung beetle increases significantly disturbed over time. Synanthropic that thrive altered environments could be masking actual decline sensitive environmental disturbances provoked by results highlight consequences structural homogenisation That is, despite having similar open‐canopy structure, land‐use change leads significant loss species, resulting drastic simplification communities. This study reinforces importance maintaining patches order maintain diverse functional region.
