Thysanoptera biodiversity in the Neotropics.
Revista de biologia tropical, 2002 It is suggested that descriptive taxonomy of thrips must be integrated into biological studies if we are to understand patterns of evolutionary and ecological diversity. Collecting and describing new taxa is easy, but understanding their position in ecosystems and how they have contributed to the origin and maintenance of biological diversity is more ...

Neotropical Siluriformes as a Model for Insights on Determining Biodiversity of Animal Groups
PLOS ONE, 2015 We performed an analysis of the descriptions of new species of Neotropical Siluriformes (catfishes) to estimate the number of new species that remain to be described for a complete knowledge on biodiversity of this order, to verify the effectiveness of taxonomic support, and to identify trends and present relevant information for future policies.
