- Abstract
Quantifying the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropods in tropical rainforests represents a first step towards scrutinizing the global distribution of biodiversity on Earth. To date most studies have focused on narrow taxonomic groups or lack a design that allows partitioning of the components of diversity. Here, we consider an exceptionally large dataset (113,952 individuals representing 5,858 species), obtained from the San Lorenzo forest in Panama, where the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa was surveyed using 14 protocols targeting the soil, litter, understory, lower and upper canopy habitats, replicated across seasons in 2003 and 2004. This dataset is used to explore the relative influence of horizontal, vertical and seasonal drivers of arthropod distribution in this forest. We considered arthropod abundance, observed and estimated species richness, additive decomposition of species richness, multiplicative partitioning of species diversity, variation in species composition, species turnover and guild structure as components of diversity. At the scale of our study (2km of distance, 40m in height and 400 days), the effects related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions were most important. Most adult arthropods were collected from the soil/litter or the upper canopy and species richness was highest in the canopy. We compared the distribution of arthropods and trees within our study system. Effects related to the seasonal dimension were stronger for arthropods than for trees. We conclude that: (1) models of beta diversity developed for tropical trees are unlikely to be applicable to tropical arthropods; (2) it is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropods in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here; and (3) given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
The bloodsucking hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus is a vector of Chagas' disease, which affects 7-8 million people today in Latin America. In contrast to other hematophagous insects, the triatomine gut is compartmentalized into three segments that perform different functions during blood digestion. Here we report analysis of transcriptomes for each of the segments using pyrosequencing technology. Comparison of transcript frequency in digestive libraries with a whole-body library was used to evaluate expression levels. All classes of digestive enzymes were highly expressed, with a predominance of cysteine and aspartic proteinases, the latter showing a significant expansion through gene duplication. Although no protein digestion is known to occur in the anterior midgut (AM), protease transcripts were found, suggesting secretion as pro-enzymes, being possibly activated in the posterior midgut (PM). As expected, genes related to cytoskeleton, protein synthesis apparatus, protein traffic, and secretion were abundantly transcribed. Despite the absence of a chitinous peritrophic membrane in hemipterans - which have instead a lipidic perimicrovillar membrane lining over midgut epithelia - several gut-specific peritrophin transcripts were found, suggesting that these proteins perform functions other than being a structural component of the peritrophic membrane. Among immunity-related transcripts, while lysozymes and lectins were the most highly expressed, several genes belonging to the Toll pathway - found at low levels in the gut of most insects - were identified, contrasting with a low abundance of transcripts from IMD and STAT pathways. Analysis of transcripts related to lipid metabolism indicates that lipids play multiple roles, being a major energy source, a substrate for perimicrovillar membrane formation, and a source for hydrocarbons possibly to produce the wax layer of the hindgut. Transcripts related to amino acid metabolism showed an unanticipated priority for degrada, Journal Article, Research Support, N.I.H.

- Abstract
Most eukaryotic organisms are arthropods. Yet, their diversity in rich terrestrial ecosystems is still unknown. Here we produce tangible estimates of the total species richness of arthropods in a tropical rainforest. Using a comprehensive range of structured protocols, we sampled the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa from the soil to the forest canopy in the San Lorenzo forest, Panama. We collected 6144 arthropod species from 0.48 hectare and extrapolated total species richness to larger areas on the basis of competing models. The whole 6000-hectare forest reserve most likely sustains 25,000 arthropod species. Notably, just 1 hectare of rainforest yields >60% of the arthropod biodiversity held in the wider landscape. Models based on plant diversity fitted the accumulated species richness of both herbivore and nonherbivore taxa exceptionally well. This lends credence to global estimates of arthropod biodiversity developed from plant models., SCOPUS: ar.j, SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior Acoustic communication is used by a large amount of animals for the search of sexual mates to be easier and reducing energy spent on it. For communication to be successful, signals must undergo three processes: production by a sound source, propagation through the environment, and reception by the target receiver. Due to its intimate relationship to reproductive success, natural selection benefits adaptations that raises the efficiency of signals to reach the receiver and minimize sound interference with other sounds. In the present work, we assessed questions related to the three processes of acoustic communication: production, propagation and receiving. In the first chapter, we study an Atlantic Forest cricket assemblage and evaluated possible ecological processes of acoustic activity inhibition in response to sound similarity. We also evaluated processes of acoustic signals differentiation by using null models approach on the calling song parameteres. We found that resemblance between species in their calling song temporal components was negatively correlated to temporal coocurrence between them, but no influence of coocurrence in frequency similarities. We also observed regular spacing between species sound frequencies, whereas differences in temporal components of signals didn t differ from the null model. Thus, we infer that species with similar temporal parameters minimize sound interference by avoiding calling together. Even spacing in sound frequency values are evidences of community-wide selective pressures that lead to regular partitioning of sound space. In the second chapter, we evaluated the behavioral strategies during sound emission, the possible agonistic interactions and calling site use regarding height and leaf blade dimensions in two sympatric cricket species (Phylloscyrtus amoenus and Cranistus colliurides) with similar sound frequencies. We found that both species presented similar stridulation behavior, using leaf surfaces as sound baffles and emitting acoustic signals to multiple directions. We observed intra and interspecific agonistic interactions related to calling site dispute. Calling sites of both species were similar in leaf dimensions, but different in height. The stridulation behavior provides us evidences of maximization of acoustic signals range. Agonistic interactions seems to be related to dispute for better calling sites to emit acoustic signals. Similarities in leaf dimensions may be related to the similarities in their sound frequencies, so their signals suffer the same constraints imposed by obstacles. A comunicação acústica é amplamente utilizada pelos animais, diminuindo o gasto de energia na busca ativa por parceiros sexuais. Para que a comunicação seja efetiva, os sinais acústicos devem passar por três processos: produção dos sinais pelo organismo, propagação dos mesmos pelo ambiente e recepção dos sinais por um receptor alvo. Por estar intimamente relacionada ao sucesso reprodutivo, a seleção natural favorece adaptações que aumentam a eficiência dos sinais em atingir o receptor e minimizam a interferência com outros sons provindos de fontes bióticas ou abióticas. Neste trabalho, estudamos processos de inibição da atividade acústica e de diferenciação nos parâmetros sonoros de espécies simpátricas de grilos, além de estratégias comportamentais relacionadas à emissão e à propagação dos sinais acústicos. No primeiro capítulo, avaliamos uma assembleia de grilos da Mata Atlântica quanto a eventuais processos ecológicos de inibição da atividade acústica, em resposta à interferência sonora interespecífica. Analisamos para todos os pares de espécies a relação entre a coocorrência das espécies e a similaridade nos parâmetros temporais e na frequência de seus sons de chamado. Também avaliamos processos de diferenciação dos sinais acústicos ao aplicarmos análises de modelos nulos sobre os parâmetros do som de chamado das espécies. Verificamos que: (i) a similaridade entre espécies quanto a componentes temporais dos parâmetros do som de chamado foi negativamente correlacionada com a coocorrência temporal entre elas e (ii) a similaridade na frequência sonora não se correlacionou significativamente com a coocorrência temporal. Também observamos espaçamento regular entre os valores de frequência das espécies, enquanto que diferenças nos componentes temporais dos parâmetros sonoros se deram ao acaso. Baseado nisso, inferimos que as espécies com parâmetros temporais semelhantes minimizam a interferência sonora interespecífica evitando emissão simultânea de sinais acústicos. O espaçamento regular entre as frequência sonoras das espécies fornece evidências de pressões seletivas atuando sobre toda a comunidade que favoreceram frequências sonoras diferentes, levando à partição regular do espaço sonoro e a diminuição da interferência entre as frequências. No segundo capítulo, trabalhamos questões relacionadas à produção, propagação e interferência sonora em duas espécies simpátricas de grilos, Phyllocyrtus amoenus e Cranistus coliurides, que apresentam frequências sonoras semelhantes. Para isto, avaliamos eventuais estratégias comportamentais de aumento da intensidade sonora durante a estridulação, as interações agonísticas em relação à ocupação de poleiros, e sua escolha por sítios de chamado quanto à altura em relação ao solo e às dimensões das folhas utilizadas como sítio. Verificamos que as duas espécies apresentaram comportamento semelhante durante a estridulação, utilizando a superfície das folhas como defletores acústicos e emitindo sinais acústicos em múltiplas direções. Observamos interações agonísticas intra- e interespecíficas de defesa de sítio de chamado, sempre com expulsão de um dos competidores ao final. Os sítios de chamado utilizados pelas duas espécies foram semelhantes quanto às dimensões do limbo foliar, porém as espécies apresentaram diferenças quanto à altura em relação ao solo. O comportamento de estridulação observado para as duas espécies nos fornece evidências de que ambas estariam maximizando o raio de ação dos sinais acústicos emitidos. As interações agonísticas provavelmente se relacionam à ocupação de melhores sítios de chamado para a propagação dos seus sinais. Ao considerarmos a semelhança entre as espécies quanto às suas frequências sonoras, sugerimos que a similaridade nas dimensões das folhas utilizadas como sítio está relacionada à ocupação de locais onde a propagação de seus sinais é melhor.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico The canopy of tropical forests offers a large diversity of resources that are essential for the maintenance of the biodiversity. There is a lack of studies on the effects of canopy habitat structure upon herbivorous communities, mainly at tropical regions. The aim of this study was to answer why herbivorous insect diversity varies within the forest canopy. We tested the hypothesis that herbivores abundance and species richness are affected by canopy structure, comparing two distinct spatial scales and two different feeding guilds: sap-sucking and chewing herbivores. We collected 314 herbivorous insect individuals. Herbivorous chewers was the richest and most abundant guild, with 91 morphospecies and 235 individuals. Canopy structure influences insect herbivore s abundance and species richness in different spatial scales, according to the herbivore s guild. Sap-sucking herbivores respond to plant architecture on a local spatial scale (tree architecture), increase their abundance and species richness with tree size. While chewing herbivores increase their abundance with tree size, and increase their abundance and species richness with leaf density within the canopy, on a larger spatial scale. Neither of the herbivorous guilds species richness were affected by tree crown complexity nor tree species richness. O dossel de florestas tropicais oferece uma grande diversidade de recursos que são essenciais para a manutenção da biodiversidade. Entretanto, poucos estudos verificaram os efeitos da estrutura do dossel sobre comunidades de insetos herbívoros em regiões tropicais. O objetivo deste estudo foi responder por que a diversidade de insetos herbívoros varia no dossel de uma floresta. Para isso foi testada a hipótese de que a abundancia e riqueza de insetos herbívoros são afetadas pela estrutura do dossel em duas escalas espaciais distintas, verificando estes efeitos em duas guildas alimentares: insetos herbívoros sugadores e mastigadores. Foram amostrados 314 insetos herbívoros. A guilda de insetos herbívoros mastigadores foi mais rica e abundante, apresentando 91 morfoespecies e 235 indivíduos. Foi verificado que a estrutura do dossel influencia a abundancia e riqueza de insetos herbívoros em diferentes escalas espaciais, de acordo com a guilda alimentar. Insetos herbívoros sugadores respondem aos efeitos da arquitetura da árvore hospedeira na escala local (arquitetura da árvore), aumentando a abundancia e riqueza de espécies com o aumento do tamanho da árvore hospedeira. Já insetos herbívoros mastigadores aumentam sua abundancia com o tamanho da árvore hospederia, na escala local, e aumentam a sua abundancia e a riqueza de espécies com a densidade foliar do dossel, na escala regiões do dossel. Ambas as guildas não são afetadas pela complexidade das copas das árvores ou pela riqueza de espécies de árvores.
