• Abstract

  Knowledge about the diversity of aquatic invertebrates in the Amazon is limited by its vast geographical extension and the difficulties in accessing certain regions due to the scarcity or precariousness of roads. This adds to the cost of research in these hard-to-reach regions, as it includes travel by air or river, and in the latter case, it takes time away from the team in the field, du…

• Abstract

  The Odonata order exhibits an immature aquatic phase, predatory feeding habits, and a high sensitivity to environmental changes. The Atlantic Forest, a globally recognized hotspot, is home to a remarkable diversity of this group, which is increasingly threatened by human activities. Due to their reliance on water during part of their life cycle and their vulnerability to environmental shi…

  Richness and diversity of Odonata (Insecta) immatures from two Atlantic Forest Conservation Units in the state of São Paulo, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The Coleoptera order presents several adaptations that allowed the dominance of terrestrial and aquatic environments, such as elytra and spiracles between the elytra and the abdomen. Aquatic species are morphologically diverse and possess adaptations for swimming, such as natatory setae and thoracic appendages. These insects are crucial for aquatic ecosystems, acting as bioindicators and …

• Abstract

  Megaloptera is an Order of insects holometabolo which currently encompasses two families - Corydalidae and Sialidae - 30 genera and 348 species distributed widely in the Neotropical and Neartic regions. Unlike other stages, the Megaloptera larva is aquatic and found in streams and clean ponds where voracious predatory larvae of insects, mollusks, crustaceans and annelids prevail. The imag…

• Abstract

  Knowledge about Neotropical chironomids, especially in the Greater Antilles and smaller islands, is currently limited. This proposal aims to enhance our understanding of the taxonomy and biogeography of chironomids in the Greater Antilles, especially the Dominican Republic, with a focus on the "mining chironomids" within the genera Xestochironomus and Stenochironomus. We have chosen these…
