Resumo

O projeto propõe quatro linhas de pesquisa com borboletas da Mata Atlântica: biogeografia (distribuição espacial de espécies ao longo dos gradientes de habitat) uso de recursos (variação geográfica nas relações tróficas de grupos de borboletas), sistemática filogenética (elaboração de hipóteses filogenéticas para borboletas) e conservação (indicadores ambientais e seu uso para monitoramento). O objetivo do projeto é articular estas quatro linhas de modo a produzir um corpo sólido de informações sobre seis grupos de borboletas na Mata Atlântica (com ênfase no estado de São Paulo, com informação substancial já obtida em projetos precedentes), Ithomiinae, Biblidinae, Satyrinae, Acraeini, Melitaeini (Nymphalidae) e Troidini (Papilionidae). Além da relevância acadêmica, os resultados deverão subsidiar ações de conservação dos remanescentes de habitats e das espécies de borboletas neste sistema, que é um dos mais ameaçados do país. (AU)
