Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research
Antonelli, Alexandre; Ariza, María A.; Albert, James Spurling; Andermann, Tobias; Azevedo, Josué A.R.; Bacon, Christine D.; Faurby, SørenThe unparalleled biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in recent years in our understanding of the origin and diversification of many Neotropical taxa and biotic regions, many questions remain to be answered. Additional biological and geological data are still needed, as well as methodological advances that ar...
Environmental impact assessment in Brazilian Amazonia: Challenges and prospects...
Ritter, Camila Duarte; McCrate, Gabriel; Nilsson, Henrik R.; Fearnside, Philip Martin; Palme, Ulrika; Antonelli, AlexandreEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has the goal of providing decision makers with an indication of the likely environmental consequences of planned actions risking environmental changes and, when necessary, allowing revision of these actions to mitigate adverse impacts. Here we provide an overview of the efficiency of EIA with emphasis on Brazilian Amazonia and discuss the problems and challenges with this t...
Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) from Val de Serra, central region of R...
Morais, Ana Beatriz Barros de; Lemes, Renata; Ritter, Camila DuarteThe butterfly fauna of the Atlantic Forest Biome is reasonably well-known up to the southern limit of its distribution. However, there are knowledge gaps nearby the central region of Rio Grande do Sul State, whose forest areas are considered priorities for biological conservation. This study investigated the butterfly assemblage of a riparian fragment in an ecotone area between Mixed Ombrophilous Forest and Sea...

Ritter, Camila Duarte; Lemes, Renata; Morais, Ana Beatriz Barros de; Sales Dambros, Cristian deThe landscape of Campos de Cima da Serra region, at North of Rio Grande do Sul State, is fragmented and its biodiversity threatened due the impact of human activities. This study investigated the butterfly fauna in fragments of Mixed Ombrophilous Forest native vegetation (VN) and anthropic area (AA) at Soledade and Mormaço municipalities. 1,181 butterflies were registered and distributed in 125 species, after 1...

Lemes, Renata; Ritter, Camila Duarte; Morais, Ana Beatriz Barros deButterfl ies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea) visiting fl owers in the Botanical Garden of the Federal University of Santa Maria, Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. Urban environments, such as parks and gardens, may offer many alimentary resources, besides shelter and favorable conditions, for butterfl y survival. This study aimed to make an inventory of butterfl ies visiting fl owers in the Botanical Garden...
