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...
Hexapoda Yearbook (Arthropoda: Mandibulata: Pancrustacea) Brazil 2020: the firs...
Silva-Neto, Alberto Moreira; Falaschi, Rafaela Lopes; Zacca, Thamara; Hipólito, Juliana; Pequeno, Pedro Aurélio Costa Lima; Alves-Oliveira, João RafaelThis paper provided a list of all new Brazilian Hexapoda species described in 2020. Furthermore, based on the information extracted by this list, we tackled additional questions regarding the taxa, the specialists involved in the species descriptions as well as the journals in which those papers have been published. We recorded a total of 680 new Brazilian species of Hexapoda described in 2020, classified in 24...
Dragonflies and damselflies from the west of Minas Gerais, Brazil: Checklist an...
Vilela, Diogo Silva; Koroiva, Ricardo; Tosta, Thiago Henrique Azevedo; Novaes, Marcos Carneiro; Guillermo-Ferreira, RhainerThe knowledge about the richness and distribution of Brazilian dragonflies is still being unveiled. Over the years, inventories, reviews, and descriptions have been made. These contributions, apart from the taxonomic value, also provide valuable data on the occurrence of species and their distributions, which are rarely accompanied by notes about natural history and behavior. Keeping this legacy in mind, we col...
A further study on Franciscobasis Machado & Bedê, 2016 (Odonata: Coenagrionidae...
Vilela, Diogo Silva; Koroiva, Ricardo; Cordero-Rivera, Adolfo; Guillermo-Ferreira, RhainerThe genus Franciscobasis Machado & Bedê, 2016 is endemic to the Serra da Canastra National Park in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Two species of Franciscobasis were described simultaneously with the genus description: F. franciscoi and F. sonia, the latter described only from females. Through morphological and molecular analysis, we investigated if F. sonia may represent the young female of F. franciscoi. Resultin...
Dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) from a Cerrado area at Triângulo...
Borges, Lucas Rodrigues; Barbosa, Marcela Silva; Carneiro, Marco Antônio Alves; Vilela, Diogo Silva; Santos, Jean CarlosOdonata is considered, among the aquatic insect orders, the second largest group in number of species. Its global richness is estimated in about 6,000 described species. The Brazilian richness represents around 14% of the world’s odonatofauna, however, the knowledge on Brazilian dragonflies distribution is still poor. This study purpose an inventory of the dragonflies species present in aquatic habitats from a ...
The odonata community of a brazilian vereda: seasonal patterns, species diversi...
Vilela, Diogo Silva; Guillermo Ferreira, Rhainer; Del-Claro, KleberStudies concerning the occurrence of species and seasonality are of great importance for both the elucidation of species distribution and conservation of natural habitats. We performed a survey of Odonata species and studied their seasonality in an endemic endangered palm swamp (i.e. Veredas) environment of the Ecological Reserve of Clube de Caça e Pesca Itororó de Uberlândia, Southestern Brazil. Between July 2...
