Butterflies and moths are found in all terrestrial environments and require efforts for a better understanding of its mega-diversity. These taxa have been the subject of several studies involving phylogeny, ecologyand environmental impacts. Nevertheless, several areas in the tropics remain unexplored, resulting ingaps in the taxonomic composition and distribution of butterflies in endemic…
To ensure their reproductive success, males of several animal species invest energy resources for the production and maintenance of sexual ornaments, since in sexual selection they are indicators of individual quality. This factor becomes dependent on the physiological condition of the animal, generating trade-offs in the investment in ornaments and other characters such as immunity and f…
Gripopterygidae is a circum-antartic family with about 100 species recorded in South America. In Brasil, there are 50 species recorded, 14 of these belonging to the genus Paragripopteryx, which has a distribution from mointainous areas of southern Bahia, through the Southeast and South Regions of Brazil to Uruguay. In view of current knowledge about the genus, there is the need for revisi…
Dragonflies and damselflies are known by their beautiful coloration patterns and complex behaviors. Although recent evidences have shown how wings structural colors and pigments may influence on their behavior, the evolution of these traits and its evolutionary relationship have not been studies yet. As libélulas são conhecidas pelos seus belíssimos padrões de coloração e comportamentos c…
