This research project aims at the discussion of metholodogies in the management and handling of museological collections. In this sense, its central study object is what we call the curatorial cycle, which contrary to the notion of curatorship (in the way that nowadays it has been defined by its practice in the field of art) involves a chain of procedures and practices inside museums, fro…
The project aims three basic objectives: to produce comparable inventories of Atlantic forest Hymenoptera and Isoptera, to use the new quantitative data to investigate the biogeographic division of the Atlantic forest, and to determine how hymenopteran and isopteran diversity patterns vary with latitude, considering the urgent need of biodiversity studies in the Atlantic forest, due to an…

The ant collection of the University of São Paulo Zoology Museum is a reference center in the safeguard and development of research of Formicidae, and for this reason an important repository of the neotropical myrmecofauna. As the state of São Paulo is a hub that congregates museums, universities and a large number of researchers, a considerable number of the material deposited in the col…
The Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo is considered a reference center in the production and dissemination of knowledge about the zoological diversity of the Neotropical region in the most varied aspects, standing out for the size of its collections and the quality of the curatorship carried out over the course of several years your story. Despite the efforts of many over the…
The Formicidae Collection of the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo/MZUSP is recognized as one of the largest ant collections in the world and most representative in the Neotropical myrmecofauna. The collection gathers data for the development of different researches, especially those related to knowledge of Brazilian biodiversity. Only the Brazilian states of Maranhão, Mato…

Hylomyrma, a Neotropical ant genus that includes 31 species, represents a challenge to systematics. The traditional approach that brings together alpha taxonomy and morphological phylogeny has left some questions unanswered due to the existence of mosaic specimens and complexes of cryptic species within the genus. Thus, in order to understand better the speciation, the arisal of morpholog…
Hylomyrma is a Neotropical ant genus that includes 13 described species that dwell in the leaf-litter and all with cryptic habits. The identity of several species is unclear due to very brief original descriptions, and very small type-series, in all cases less than three individuals. Recently, leaf-litter surveys employing Winkler Extractors have increased the representation of Hylomyrma …
