Reduced fecundity associated with Wolbachia infection in a Neotropical drosophilid Redução da fecundidade associada à infecção por Wolbachia em um drosofilídeo Neotropical

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 475-488, June 2026.
Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 502-516, June 2026.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Who prefers the dark? Daily activity of dung beetles from an Amazonian region

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 609-613, June 2026.
Daily activity patterns shape how dung beetle species coexist in Amazonian forests, revealing temporal niches that reduce competition and structure biodiversity. We compared species richness, abundance and assemblage composition of dung beetles sampled during day and night in a conserved terra‐firme forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Although richness and

Beyond Temperature: Relative Humidity Systematically Shifts Juvenile Thermal Performance and Projected Population Growth in a Malaria Vector

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental change requires accounting for multiple interacting climatic factors; yet relative humidity is rarely integrated with temperature in trait‐based performance frameworks. Using laboratory experiments and an analytic population growth model, we show that humidity systematically modifies juvenile life ...

Percepção entomológica por discentes do Ensino Fundamental em Ciências em vistas a proteção da biodiversidade.

open access: yesRevista de Geociências do Nordeste, 2018
Os insetos são seres que se encontram em maior abundância e com diversas funções no planeta sendo apenas 10% que prejudica o homem, no entanto, existe ainda uma visão negativa em relação ao mundo dos insetos.
