Effect of mining on the EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) assemblage of Amazonian streams based on their environmental specificity

Juan Mateo Rivera-Perez et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the abundance and richness of generalist and specialist genera of EPT in response to mining activities in the Carajas National Forest, Brazil. It found that mining had a negative effect on the richness of specialists but a positive effect on their abundance. On the other hand, generalists negatively responded to mining in terms of richness and abundance.

Effects of the loss of forest cover on odonate communities in eastern Amazonia

Lenize Batista Calvao et al.

Summary: The conversion of native forests into anthropogenic landscapes in Brazilian Amazonia has been impacting the physical habitat of aquatic systems. The loss of natural vegetation cover has different effects on the diversity and morphology of Amazonian odonates. Preserving continuous natural vegetation cover and riparian vegetation is crucial for maintaining the physical characteristics of streams and the structure of the odonate community.

Assessing the distribution of mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Insecta) in the Brazilian Amazon to guide more effective conservation

Mylena Neves Cardoso et al.

Summary: Environmental changes have negative impacts on biodiversity, especially in high biodiversity areas like the Amazon region. This article focuses on the geographical distributions of Ephemeroptera in the Brazilian Amazon and identifies species and biodiversity hotspots that are poorly protected. It emphasizes the need for further research and conservation efforts.

Protected areas and the future of insect conservation

Shawan Chowdhury et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic pressures are causing a decline in insect populations worldwide. Protected areas, which are important for safeguarding vertebrates, have not focused much on insect conservation. There is a lack of knowledge on the effectiveness of protected areas for insect conservation, especially regarding threats and management strategies. The authors propose a research agenda to prioritize insects in expanding the global protected area network.

Environmental thresholds of dragonflies and damselflies from a Cerrado-Caatinga ecotone

Daniel Silas Veras et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of different land uses on the composition of dragonfly species in aquatic ecosystems. The results show that habitat integrity and canopy cover affect the taxonomic richness and abundance of dragonflies. Furthermore, a habitat integrity index is used to determine thresholds and turning points in species abundance. These findings are crucial for guiding conservation and management strategies to protect biodiversity and natural resources.

Land Uses for Pasture and Cacao Cultivation Modify the Odonata Assemblages in Atlantic Forest Areas

Lais R. Santos et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of land use changes on Odonata assemblages and found that richness and composition of the assemblages were modified by land use changes. Native forest areas maintained more stable assemblages, and certain species were identified as possible indicators of different land uses.

Aerodynamics Effect of Holes in UAV Wings Modified for VTOL Capability

Laith S. Sawaqed et al.

Summary: This research explores the possibility of modifying the X8 Skywalker from a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle into a convertiplane. Computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel experiments were conducted to analyze the performance of different wing configurations. The results indicate that the proposed modifications can generate enough lift despite reducing the wing area, with the filleted hole configuration demonstrating less drag and turbulence effects at low angles of attack.

Response of aquatic insects to an environmental gradient in Amazonian streams

Ana Paula Justino Faria et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of land use and land cover on aquatic insect assemblages in the Amazon region, identifying sensitive taxa to environmental gradients. The results showed that as forests are converted to pasture, sensitive taxa to pasture experienced a decrease in abundance and frequency of occurrence, indicating their potential as indicators of stream conservation.

The Zygoptera/Anisoptera ratio as a tool to assess anthropogenic changes in Atlantic Forest streams

Cintia Ribeiro et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of the Zygoptera/Anisoptera ratio in measuring ecological changes in Atlantic Forest streams, finding it to be a practical tool for classifying the preservation status of streams. The ease of specimen identification in different Odonata suborders allows for quick participatory monitoring, facilitating the establishment of monitoring networks for aquatic environment integrity in the future.

Assessing habitat quality on alpha and beta diversity of Odonata larvae (Insect) in logging areas in Amazon forest

Thiago Pereira Mendes et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of habitat quality on the diversity of odonate larvae and identified environmental factors as the principal predictors of diversity. It suggested that management initiatives based on reduced-impact logging techniques could be adopted to ensure socio-economic benefits while minimizing impacts on local biodiversity.

Sampling efficiency of a protocol to measure Odonata diversity in tropical streams

Joana Darc Batista et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficiency of sampling protocol for Odonata, finding that sampling at noon, on a 100-meter transect, with at least two samplings in the same location, achieved the best results, supporting procedures commonly adopted by many studies. While there was no significant difference in species composition between different treatments, some methodological flaws were highlighted when using this protocol for specific Odonata groups.

Protected areas are not effective for the conservation of freshwater insects in Brazil

Karina Dias-Silva et al.

Summary: This study examined the distributional pattern of Gerromorpha diversity in Brazil and found a positive relationship between species distribution area and occurrence in conservation units. The results suggest that conservation units with less than 250 km(2) do not protect Gerromorpha species, highlighting the need for new conservation strategies to protect this group.

Impact of environmental changes on the behavioral diversity of the Odonata (Insecta) in the Amazon

Bethania O. de Resende et al.

Summary: Environmental alterations resulting from shifts in land use can impact the behavioral diversity of adult odonates. Some sites impacted by anthropogenic changes show a loss of behaviors, while certain morphological and behavioral traits of odonates vary under specific environmental conditions. Consideration of behavioral traits is highlighted as crucial in conservation strategies to address specific extinction pressures faced by species with unique behavioral repertoires.

Ecological corridors and landscape planning: a model to select priority areas for connectivity maintenance

Isadora Rebelo Salviano et al.

Summary: The study developed a spatial model to identify and prioritize riparian corridors for improving landscape connectivity. The model helps identify sections of riparian corridors where connectivity is hindered, and can be applied to select corridors dominated by large forests for conservation purposes. The model is flexible and adjustable to different landscapes and decision-makers' objectives, providing quantitative information that may not be evident from just interpreting land-use/cover maps.

Environmental impacts from human activities affect the diversity of the Odonata (Insecta) in the Eastern Amazon

R. C. Bastos et al.

Summary: Land use influences the biodiversity of stream systems by changing water chemistry and habitat structure. This study in Barcarena, Para, Brazil, found that Anisoptera were more affected by water temperature and Habitat Integrity Index (HII), while Zygoptera did not exhibit a systematic pattern. It highlights the importance of preserving riparian forests to maintain stream system health. More studies are recommended to consider broader geographic and temporal scales, and anthropogenic gradients.
