The order Trichoptera is among the most diverse within the class Insecta, both from a taxonomic and functional perspective, comprising more than 17,300 described species and ranking seventh in species richness within Insecta. Among its families, Hydropsychidae includes five subfamilies, one of which is Smicrideinae, to which the genus Smicridea McLachlan, 1871 belongs. The larvae of Smicr…
This project will collaborate with Quilombola communities to analyze biodiversity data gaps in Amazon conservation areas. Using their traditional knowledge, we will identify key animal and plant species crucial to their way of life and assess their role in conserving the ecosystem in the face of socio-ecological challenges. Using traditional methods and modern technologies, such as DNA ba…

Plecoptera is an order of aquatic insects that occurs mainly in clean, fast and well-oxygenated streams. This order, together with Ephemeroptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera and Trichoptera were inserted by Linnaeus in 1758 in the Systema Naturae in Neuroptera, but in the 19th century they gained the status of order. Plecoptera has approximately 3700 species described in 16 families. Despite …
The objective of this project is to contribute to a better taxonomic and systematic knowledge of the order Plecoptera from South America, especially from Brazil. In order to achieve this objective, specimens will be collected in different regions of South America, which will serve as the basis for taxonomic and systematic studies. As specific objectives, we have: 1) to describe new specie…

Understanding the mechanisms underlying diversity patterns has become one of the main objectives of Ecology. For a comprehensive understanding of biodiversity, it is essential to consider three levels of diversity: alpha, beta and gamma. Beta diversity, in particular, measures the variation in species composition between habitats, being crucial for understanding ecological dynamics. The L…
Humans have altered the fundamental processes that maintain biodiversity by converting natural land cover for human uses, triggering Earth's sixth mass extinction. The effects of land cover change are arguably most acute in freshwater ecosystems, where aquatic insects have experienced precipitous global declines disproportional to other taxa. Yet despite decades of research, detection of …
The Perlidae family is widely distributed and has approximately 140 described species from Brazil. Among them, 42 species belong to the genus Kempnyia, which is endemic to Brazil and distributes in mountainous regions from Bahia and Tocantins to Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul States. The genus has been recently reviewed and a morphological phylogeny was proposed, however, the relati…
The order Plecoptera comprises more than 3700 described species, allocated in 17 families. In Brazil, there are about 200 species described in two families (Gripopterygidae and Perlidae). The Perlidae family has four genera: Anacroneuria Klapálek, 1909; Enderleina Jewett, 1960; Kempnyia Klapalek, 1914; and Macrogynoplax Enderlein, 1909. In the State of São Paulo, one of the best studied, …
In this project, specimens of Gripopterygidae (Plecoptera) will be collected in Japi Mountains in the Municipal Biological Reserve of the Japi Mountains, São Paulo State, with the following objectives: 1) to identify species of Gripopterygidae from Japi Mountains using morphology and then obtaining sequences of mitochondrial gene COI for each of them; 2) to obtain adult-nymph association …

Plecoptera, commonly known as stoneflies, are aquatic insects that inhabit lotic environments with clean, cold, and well-oxygenated waters, being highly sensitive to environmental impacts. The degradation of watersheds, the loss of riparian vegetation, and the effects of climate change threaten these species, particularly in South America, where knowledge about their diversity remains lim…
Plecoptera is an important order of insects in streams, containing more than 3,700 species allocated to 17 families. This order is present on almost all continents, with the exception of Antarctica. Stoneflies (Plecoptera) live in both aquatic (eggs and nymphs) and terrestrial (adults or imago) environments. Nymphs are found mainly on substrates such as stones and leaves in lotic environm…
The search for understanding the role of environmental and spatial factors on the structuring of communities has been a central issue in ecology and evolution. In this context, during the development of this research plan, we will analyze different datasets on metacommunities of aquatic insects in streams in order to answer the following questions: 1) which are the most important factors …
Gripopterygidae (Plecoptera) is composed by 52 genera and about 300 species, 100 of them recorded in the Neotropical region. Currently, the family is divided into five subfamilies being Gripopteryginae endemic of South America. They are characterized by legs with a pair of distoventral spurs on each tibia, forewings with a long Cu1 fork, hind wings with 6th anal vein fused to wing margin,…
