The green-belly stink bug complex (Dichelops spp.) are considered emergent pests in different cultivated plants, frequently causing injuries in important crops in Brazil. In maize, they are considered key pests, ocurring in the early stages of plant development. The change in the agricultural scenario in Center-west and Southern regions of Brazil, as well as changes in cropping systems ov…
The Pentatomidae is a megadiverse family that comprises >5,000 described species and includes many species that are pests of food staples such as corn, wheat and vegetables. Research on their phylogenetic and biogeographic history is limited, and there are no studies on the connection of the Australia and South America stink bug faunas. The current classification includes 9 subfamilies, a…
The suborder Heteroptera is one of the megadiverse lineages of animals, with more than 40.000 species successful in virtually all types of habitats. The group includes species of medical and agricultural importance, such as vectors of the Chagas disease and pests of major crops like corn, cotton and soybean. Studies on the evolution of Heteroptera have been expanded in recent years; howev…
Integrative taxonomy proposes the use of different approaches to complement the classic species description, which traditionally uses qualitative morphological characters. Geometric morphometry assesses shapes through the mathematical relationship between landmarks, which are positioned along the structure. The morphology of a species can vary within and between populations, and the use o…
High interspecific variability on male genitalia is one of the most widespread phenomenon across animals. In contrast, female genitalia are severally overlooked for many groups, often assumed as invariable in studies of taxonomy, systematics and evolution. The processes responsible for such patterns are still to be fully understood, but several evidences have been pointing sexual selectio…
The distribution of pentatomid species recorded in the State of São Paulo will be study using spatial models, in order to predict areas of endemism in the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, two biogeographical provinces with areas included in SP. The models will be established from the available records of locations and environmental characteristics such as temperature, rainfall and topography,…
