Introduction
Biólogo con mención en Zoología. Mis intereses son la taxonomía y ecología de macroinvertebrados acuáticos principalmente em ambientes lénticos. Actualmente estoy trabajando con insectos acuáticos de los órdenes Diptera (Ephydridae) y Plecoptera (Perlidae)

The order Plecoptera constitutes a relatively small group of aquatic insects, encompassing 17 extant families and comprising over 4400 valid species. In Brazil, the number of valid extant species is 207, located in two families: Perlidae (149) and Gripopterygidae (58). Despite extensive research on the southeastern region of Brazil, there is a nota...
In the last decades, the loss and reduction of wetlands have become evident worldwide due to various pressures related to the increase in human population and their activities. This situation is also present in the coastal wetlands of Peru, especially in small bodies, which makes it necessary to investigate their biodiversity and ecology in order t...
Seven years after a mudflow reached an important area of the Doce River basin, southeastern Brazil, and with the objective of reporting the current Plecoptera fauna, specimens of Anacroneuria Klapálek, 1909 (Plecoptera: Perlidae) were studied. Three new records from this basin are included: A. mineira Novaes & Bispo, 2014; A. atrifrons Klapálek, 19...
Plecoptera é uma pequena ordem de insetos aquáticos que inclui sete famílias e mais de 3.700 espécies em nível mundial, das quais seis famílias e 505 espécies estão distribuídas na região Neotropical. No Brasil, apesar dos muitos estudos na região Sudeste, são poucos aqueles voltados para a fauna de Minas Gerais, onde não existem trabalhos que inte...
The Salinas de Chilca are located at km 65 of the Panamericana Sur highway, represented by three lagoons: La Milagrosa (mainlagoon and salt ponds), La Mellicera and La Encantada. The environment of these lagoons belongs to the Subtropical Desert(d-ST) life zone. The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of environmental vari...
Comentarios generales.
Los tres primeros puparios (Figuras 1S, 2S y 3S), pertenecientes a la Tribu Ephydrini, presentan como características generales: (a) un tubo respiratorio elongado y bifurcado, (b) presencia de
ocho segmentos con propatas ventrales (5-12), siendo la última de mayor tamaño que las demás y (c) un patrón de espinas bien marcado e...
Coastal wetlands are ecosystems that are being reduced every day due to anthropic factors. In these environments, taxonomic and ecological studies are scarce, especially in the Neotropical zone. The lack of biological monitoring in these areas has prevented the gathering of evidence on a probable loss of aquatic biodiversity. In the present study,...
Spatial variation of the aquatic macroinvertebrates community in the littoral zone of the Santa Rosa coastal wetland, Lima, Peru. Coastal wetlands are sensitive ecosystems of high productivity due to ecological services they provide: water purification, flood reduction, and protection of marine coasts. In addition , these zones are places of great...
En 1997 la Reserva Nacional de Junín fue declarada un sitio RAMSAR por ser un humedal
de singular biodiversidad. Esta biodiversidad está conectada a la presencia de comunidades planctónicas, que sirven como fuente de alimento a pequeños invertebrados como moluscos, gusanos y larvas de insectos, los cuales son alimento para peces y aves. Los peces d...
Los humedales costeros son ecosistemas sensibles de alta productividad por los servicios ecosistémicos que brindan: purificación del agua, reducción de las inundaciones, protección de las costas marinas y son lugares de gran diversidad biológica. El objetivo principal del estudio fue determinar la estructura comunitaria de los macroinvertebrados be...
Introducción. El humedal Santa Rosa o llamado tambien
"El Cascajo" pertenece a la Zona de Vida Desierto Desecado Subtropical (dd-S). Es uno de los muchos humedales costeros que está expuesto a diversas amenazas. Es necesario conocer la biota del humedal de forma que contribuya a los planes de conservación y manejo de este ecosistema. Problema. Se...
