The Brazilian Legal Amazon Odonatofauna: a perspective of diversity and knowled...
Garcia Junior, Manoel Daltro Nunes; Damasceno, Monique Telcia dos Santos; Vilela, Diogo Silva; Souto, Raimundo Nonato PicançoThe Brazilian legal Amazon occupies approximately 61% of its territory, covering a large part of Brazil's biodiversity. This large territorial dimension generates huge gaps in the animal diversity understanding, for example, the poor knowledge regarding the Odonata order. Worldwide, Odonata has almost 6,500 described species, with approximately 1,800 being recorded for the Neotropical region. Data on the Odonat...

Santos Junior, Walmyr Alberto Costa; Martins, Christiane França; Souto, Raimundo Nonato PicançoInventories of Amazon invertebrates are relatively incipient and fragmented. The state of Amapá is one of the Amazonian states with a large knowledge gap regarding invertebrate biodiversity. Also, there is no record in the literature of systematic studies that focus mainly on the Acridofauna. Therefore the goal of this study was to understand the diversity and abundance of grasshoppers (Gomphocerinae) of the En...
Diversity and abundance of mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in a fragment of Ama...
Saraiva, Jose Ferreira; Maitra, Ahana; Souto, Raimundo Nonato PicançoThe Neotropical region has the highest diversity of species, but despite this diversity, this region presents many sampling gaps. The objective of this study was to study the diversity of the mosquitoes of family Culicidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha) as well as to identify the mosquito vectors, in a fragment of Amazon Cerrado in Macapá, Amapá. Three collection methods (Shannon trap, CDC and active collection) were ...

Monteiro, Fred Júlio Costa; Mourão, Fábio Rodrigo Paixão; Ribeiro, Edicelha Soares D’Athaide; Rêgo, Marlisson Octávio da SilvaAedes aegypti is associated with epidemic diseases in Brazil, such as urban yellow fever, dengue, and more recently, chikungunya and Zika viruses infections. More information about Ae. aegypti infestation is fundamental to virological surveillance in order to ensure the effectiveness of control measures in use. Thus, the present study aims to identify and compare infestation and infectivity of Ae. aegypti femal...
