A Study of the Pupal Development of Five Forensically Important Flies (Diptera: Brachycera)

K. B. Barros-Cordeiro et al.

Summary: The research described the external morphology of distinct phases of development for five insect species. Intrapuparial development was studied by fixing immature specimens at regular intervals, and different species responded differently to the same environmental conditions.

Invasion and Spreading of Drosophila nasuta (Diptera, Drosophilidae) in the Caatinga Biome, Brazil

Martin Alejandro Montes et al.

Summary: Biological invasions, such as the invasion of the Asian fruit fly into the Caatinga biome in Brazil, are a major cause of biodiversity loss globally. The success of Drosophila nasuta in colonizing this environment may be attributed to its preference for areas with arboreal vegetation and higher annual rainfall. The ability of this species to utilize different trophic resources also contributes to its successful invasion.

The economic costs of biological invasions in Brazil: a first assessment

Jose Ricardo Pires Adelino et al.

Summary: Biological invasions are a significant driver of global environmental change, impacting biodiversity, ecosystem services, human health, and the economy. Brazil has over 1200 known alien species, with 460 recognized as invasive. The economic costs of biological invasions in Brazil have been substantial, with a majority spent on damages rather than prevention and management.

The economic costs of biological invasions in Central and South America: a first regional assessment

Gustavo Heringer et al.

Summary: The study investigated the geographical pattern of biological invasion costs, monetary expenditure across taxa and impacted sectors, as well as hyper-costly taxa responsible for more than 50% of the costs. The results showed that invasive alien species caused billions of dollars of economic burden in Central and South America, mainly in large countries of South America, with uneven distribution across countries, impacted sectors, types of costs, and hyper-costly taxa. This suggests that efforts should be focused on managing the species that are draining financial sources in impacted sectors.
