U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Lacewings of Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest: Assessing their Diversity

99124449 Tauber这项美国-巴西奖为康奈尔大学的Maurice J. Tauber博士和Catherine A. Tauber博士以及北弗鲁米南塞州立大学的Gilberto S. Albuquerque博士对巴西大西洋雨林草蛉的合作研究提供了支持，以评估其多样性。该项目将允许对Desengano州立公园及其周围的两个昆虫科（蝶科和麻蝇科）的多样性进行评估，Desengano州立公园是巴西大西洋雨林的主要遗迹。通过对这些食肉昆虫进行深入的实地调查和实验室饲养，本研究将建立广泛的区域成虫和幼虫标本收集，并为分类研究收集比较生活史数据。实地考察还将产生其他昆虫类群的代表性标本，供巴西大学当地昆虫参考资料收集使用。

9912449TauberThis US-Brazil award provides support for cooperative research between Dr. Maurice J. Tauber and Catherine A. Tauber of Cornell University and Dr. Gilberto S. Albuquerque of the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense on the lacewings of Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest, in an assessment of their diversity.This project will permit the assessment of the diversity of two insect families (Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae) in and around Desengano State Park, a major remnant of Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. With intensive fieldwork and laboratory rearing of these predacious insects, this research will develop an extensive regional collection of adult and larval specimens and gather comparative life-history data for taxonomic studies. The fieldwork will also generate representative specimens of other insect groups for use in the Brazilian university's reference collection of local insects.
