Gaps and spatial trends in the accurate data available on mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in Brazil: Inventory completeness and priority areas Lacunas e tendências espaciais nos dados precisos disponíveis sobre mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) no Brasil: Cobertura dos inventários e áreas prioritárias

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 526-544, July 2025.
We compiled primary occurrence data for Culicidae in Brazil and our findings showed limitations in the spatial and temporal coverage of digital Culicidae data compared with the literature occurrence data. The Atlantic and Amazon Forests presented well‐surveyed inventories in Brazil's north and southeast. However, the distribution of occurrences reveals

Ten practical guidelines for microclimate research in terrestrial ecosystems

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 269-294, February 2025.
Abstract Most biodiversity dynamics and ecosystem processes on land take place in microclimates that are decoupled from the climate as measured by standardised weather stations in open, unshaded locations. As a result, microclimate monitoring is increasingly being integrated in many studies in ecology and evolution.
