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

9912449Tauber这个美国-巴西奖支持康奈尔大学的Maurice J.Tauber博士和Catherine A.Tauber博士以及北弗卢米嫩塞大学的Gilberto S.Albuquque博士对巴西大西洋雨林中的草叶进行合作研究，以评估它们的多样性。该项目将允许评估两个昆虫家族(叶甲科和姬蜂科)在巴西大西洋热带雨林的主要遗迹Desengano州立公园及其周围的多样性。随着这些捕食性昆虫的密集田野调查和实验室饲养，这项研究将发展成虫和幼虫标本的广泛区域收集，并为分类学研究收集比较的生活史数据。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馆藏使用。

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.
