Morfologia comparada das terminálias masculina e feminina dos rhagionidae (Dipt...
Carmo, Daniel D.D.; Santos, Charles Morphy D.We present a comparative investigation of both male and female terminalia of the Neotropical genera of Rhagionidae (Diptera, Brachycera, Tabanomorpha). Based on Brachyceran bauplan, homology hypotheses between the terminalia parts were analyzed in a comparative context. The results suggest that the conditions observed in Rhagionidae are in general very modified when compared to the common ancestor of Brachycera...
Using the logical basis of phylogenetics as the framework for teaching biology
Santos, Charles Morphy D.; Calor, Adolfo R.The influence of the evolutionary theory is widespread in modern worldview. Due to its great explanatory power and pervasiveness, the theory of evolution should be used as the organizing theme in biology teaching. For this purpose, the essential concepts of phylogenetic systematics are useful as a didactic instrument. The phylogenetic method was the first objective set of rules to implement in systematics the e...
Why biogeographical hypotheses need a well supported phylogenetic framework: a ...
Santos, Charles Morphy D.; Amorim, Dalton S.A growing number of biogeographical methods have attempted to describe formal means of reconstructing the biogeographical history of the organisms. Whatever the biogeographical method, however, the source of systematic information has to be well worked out. Taxonomic noise is sometimes a true impediment to properly deal with the complexity of life in its three-dimensional aspects, the threefold parallelism repr...
