Nestas áreas, tais problemas de saúde ou são mais disseminados ou se mostram mais difíceis de serem controlados. Os vetores são organismos que podem transmitir agentes etiológicos, causadores de doenças infecciosas entre os seres humanos, de animais para humanos, ou entre os animais. Muitos destes vetores são insetos hematófagos, que ingerem micro-organismos, causadores de doenças, durante um repasto sanguíneo em um hospedeiro infectado (humano ou animal) e, posteriormente, os transmitem para um novo hospedeiro durante a sua subsequente alimentação. A obra “Atualidades em Medicina Tropical no Brasil: Vetores” traz ao leitor diversos temas da área, reunindo 13 trabalhos científicos, na qual o leitor poderá conferir atualizações e matérias de destaque em: Sistemática, Taxonomia, Biologia, Biogeografia, Controle, Ensino conceitual, Evolução, dentre outros. A abrangência e importância desses temas para diversos setores da sociedade é um ponto crucial nesta obra, uma vez que ela proporciona ao leitor um enriquecimento sobre o assunto através de experiências e resultados científicos relatados e apresentados por diversos especialistas.

  • New Species Described from Photographs: Yes? No? Sometimes? a Fierce Debate and a New Declaration of the ICZN
    Copyedited by: OUP Insect Systematics and Diversity, 1(1), 2017, 3–19 doi: 10.1093/isd/ixx004 Taxonomy Forum New Species Described From Photographs: Yes? No? Sometimes?

We here provide a historical perspective on this practice from both nomenclatural and practical points of view, culminating in a summary and discussion of a new Declaration of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature containing recommendations about descriptions without preserved specimens. We conclude that although descriptions using photographs as proxy types are Code-compliant and occasionally justified, the conditions under which such descriptions are justified are likely to remain relatively rare. Increasing restrictions on specimen collecting, which we deplore because of the centrality of collecting and collections to all of biodiversity science, could lead to more ‘proxy type’ descriptions in those taxa in which photographs can provide sufficient information for descriptions, but we predict that such cases will remain infrequent exceptions.

  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

    PDF file from Evenhuis, N.L. & D.J. Greathead, 1999, World Catalog of Bee Flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae). Backhuys Publishers, Leiden. xlviii + ix 756 pp. INTRODUCTION Bombyliids, or bee flies as they are commonly called, comprise a diverse and speciose assemblage of brachycerous flies. With more than 4,500 species known worldwide, they are one of the largest families of Diptera, surpassed in numbers of species only by the Tipulidae (14,000), Tachinidae (9,200), Syrphidae (5,800), Asilidae (5,600), Ceratopogonidae (5,300), and Dolichopodidae (5,100). They occur in a variety of habitats and ecosystems (from ca. 10 km from the Arctic Ocean in Canada through all latitudes as far south as Tierra del Fuego; and at altitudes from over 3500 m in the Himalayas to 200 m below sea level at the shores of the Dead Sea). They are found on all continents except Antarctica and also many oceanic islands. The family has a remarkable range in size (from some Exoprosopa with wingspans of more than 60 mm to the tiny Apolysis that can be as small as 1.5 mm in length) and variety of shapes (e.g., Systropus mimicking ammophiline wasps; Bombomyia mimic- king bumblebees). The adults of the larger species are powerful and agile fliers, rivaling the syrphid flies in their ability to hover and move in all directions while in flight. With many species possessing colorful patterns of stripes and spots on the wings and bodies, bee flies are often some of the most striking in appearance of all the Diptera. Individuals can often be seen either resting in the open on trails or on rocks or twigs sunning themselves, or feeding on a variety of flowering plants.

ZooKeys 693: 129–139. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.693.10945 Abstract The fears expressed by Santos et al. (2016) that description of typeless species (new species described based on field photographs) can be fatal for the practice of taxonomy which will succumb to an uncontrollable stream of “species of questionable delimitation” are, in our opinion, exaggerated. The Code already pro- tects taxonomic practice from subjectivity quite well by limiting opportunities for descriptions of new spe- cies based on field photos by rigid requirements, and only skilled taxonomists with extensive knowledge of a group are capable of fulfilling them. If a taxonomist has omitted to compare the new typeless species with the known species externally similar to it, the latter cannot be diagnosed and its name in that case becomes nomen nudum.

  • Triatoma Melanica? Rita De Cássia Moreira De Souza1*†, Gabriel H Campolina-Silva1†, Claudia Mendonça Bezerra2, Liléia Diotaiuti1 and David E Gorla3
    Souza et al. Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:361 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-0973-4 RESEARCH Open Access Does Triatoma brasiliensis occupy the same environmental niche space as Triatoma melanica? Rita de Cássia Moreira de Souza1*†, Gabriel H Campolina-Silva1†, Claudia Mendonça Bezerra2, Liléia Diotaiuti1 and David E Gorla3 Abstract Background: Triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, one of the most important vector-borne diseases in Latin America. This study compares the environmental niche spaces of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma melanica using ecological niche modelling and reports findings on DNA barcoding and wing geometric morphometrics as tools for the identification of these species. Methods: We compared the geographic distribution of the species using generalized linear models fitted to elevation and current data on land surface temperature, vegetation cover and rainfall recorded by earth observation satellites for northeastern Brazil. Additionally, we evaluated nucleotide sequence data from the barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (CO1) and wing geometric morphometrics as taxonomic identification tools for T. brasiliensis and T. melanica. Results: The ecological niche models show that the environmental spaces currently occupied by T. brasiliensis and T. melanica are similar although not equivalent, and associated with the caatinga ecosystem. The CO1 sequence analyses based on pair wise genetic distance matrix calculated using Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) evolutionary model, clearly separate the two species, supporting the barcoding gap. Wing size and shape analyses based on seven landmarks of 72 field specimens confirmed consistent differences between T. brasiliensis and T. melanica. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the separation of the two species should be attributed to a factor that does not include the current environmental conditions.

  • Distributional Potential of the Triatoma Brasiliensis Species Complex at Present and Under Scenarios of Future Climate Condition
    Costa et al. Parasites & Vectors 2014, 7:238 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/7/1/238 RESEARCH Open Access Distributional potential of the Triatoma brasiliensis species complex at present and under scenarios of future climate conditions Jane Costa1*, L Lynnette Dornak2, Carlos Eduardo Almeida3* and A Townsend Peterson2 Abstract Background: The Triatoma brasiliensis complex is a monophyletic group, comprising three species, one of which includes two subspecific taxa, distributed across 12 Brazilian states, in the caatinga and cerrado biomes. Members of the complex are diverse in terms of epidemiological importance, morphology, biology, ecology, and genetics. Triatoma b. brasiliensis is the most disease-relevant member of the complex in terms of epidemiology, extensive distribution, broad feeding preferences, broad ecological distribution, and high rates of infection with Trypanosoma cruzi; consequently, it is considered the principal vector of Chagas disease in northeastern Brazil. Methods: We used ecological niche models to estimate potential distributions of all members of the complex, and evaluated the potential for suitable adjacent areas to be colonized; we also present first evaluations of potential for climate change-mediated distributional shifts. Models were developed using the GARP and Maxent algorithms. Results: Models for three members of the complex (T. b. brasiliensis, N = 332; T. b. macromelasoma, N = 35; and T. juazeirensis, N = 78) had significant distributional predictivity; however, models for T. sherlocki and T. melanica, both with very small sample sizes (N = 7), did not yield predictions that performed better than random. Model projections onto future-climate scenarios indicated little broad-scale potential for change in the potential distribution of the complex through 2050.

  • Entomology in Focus
    Entomology in Focus Volume 5 Series editor Simon L. Elliot, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil Insects are fundamentally important in the ecology of terrestrial habitats. What is more, they affect diverse human activities, notably agriculture, as well as human health and wellbeing. Meanwhile, much of modern biology has been developed using insects as subjects of study. To refect this, our aim with Entomology in Focus is to offer a range of titles that either capture different aspects of the diverse biology of insects or their management, or that offer updates and reviews of particular species or taxonomic groups that are important for agriculture, the environment or public health. The series results from an agreement between Springer and the Entomological Society of Brazil (SEB) and as such may lean towards tropical entomology. The aim throughout is to provide reference texts that are simple in their conception and organization but that offer up-to-date syntheses of the respective areas, offer suggestions of future directions for research (and for management where relevant) and that don’t shy away from offering considered opinions.
