Diversity patterns of hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) in the canopy of an o...
Lourido, Gilcélia Melo; Motta, Catarina da Silva; GraÇa, MÁrlon Breno; Rafael, José AlbertinoForam realizadas coletas sistemáticas de Sphingidae no dossel de floresta ombrófila densa na Amazônia central utilizando-se armadilha luminosa. As coletas ocorreram em uma floresta primária de terra firme, na bacia do Rio Cuieiras, a 34 m de altura na torre da Estação Experimental de Silvicultura Tropical, Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil. Foi utilizado um lençol branco iluminado com uma lâmpada de luz mista de mercúri...
Coevolution between flight morphology, vertical stratification and sexual dimor...
GraÇa, MÁrlon Breno; Pequeno, Pedro Aurélio Costa Lima; Franklin, E.; Morais, José Wellington deOccurrence patterns are partly shaped by the affinity of species with habitat conditions. For winged organisms, flight-related attributes are vital for ecological performance. However, due to the different reproductive roles of each sex, we expect divergence in flight energy budget, and consequently different selection responses between sexes. We used tropical frugivorous butterflies as models to investigate co...
