“…The highest diversity of tiger beetle species in our study site was found around the field station (see Fig. 2 in Adis et al, 1998). Along a 105 m long transect, following a path that connected the field station with the meteorological station, we found 8 common terrestrial species, all showing a similar foraging behavior.…”

-The spatial and temporal distribution of a guild of eight diurnal tiger beetle species was studied on a 105 m long transect near the field station of the Reserva Florestal A. Ducke near Manaus (AM), Brazil. The transect followed a path that included both shaded and an open areas. Five of the species, restricted to primary forest, occurrred only in shaded areas of the transect, and three species occurred in open areas. Of all eight species only two of the open habitat species showed no clear seasonality in adult activity. In six species the activity of adults was limited to the rainy season. The most pronounced annual rhythm was found in Pentacomia ventralis, an open habitat species. Activity of adults was limited to October/November. First instar larvae appeared shortly thereafter. Larval development mainly took place from January to May. The third instar larva entered a dormancy which lasted up to 10 months, and which

“…A few larvae of this species were found along the path at the open site, more of them at the central open site of the field station area (see also Fig. 2 in Adis et al, 1998). P. ventralis is described as a species of "extensively cleared forest sites" (Pearson, 1984;Rodriguez et al, 1994).…”

“…Adaptations to flooding for both adults (Irmler, 1973;Adis, 1982;Paarmann et al, 1982;Amorim et al, 1997aAmorim et al, , 1997bZerm, 2002;Zerm & Adis, 2000, 2001a, 2001b, 2002Zerm et al, 2001) and larvae (Adis et al, 1998) were studied along Amazonian floodplains. Temperature influences on ovulation and local dispersal were also studied in this Amazonian floodplain fauna (Irmler, 1985) and how it influenced seasonality of activity.…”

RESUMO -Espécimens de Rostrozetes foveolatus foram obtidos de duas florestas inundáveis (várzea e igapó) e de duas florestas secundárias (terra firme) da Amazônia Central. As populações foram comparadas para a obtenção da taxa de sobrevivência em experimentos de laboratório nas condições submersas e não submersas. As coletas no igapó foram efetuadas em três períodos de 1992: antes (fevereiro: serapilheira não submersa), no início (abril: serapilheira submersa) e no pico da inundação (julho: serapilheira submersa). No igapó, os animais sobreviveram melhor em condição não submersa, significando que a submersão é um fator de estresse. O mesmo não ocorreu na várzea, indicando que esta população está melhor adaptada ao estresse da submersão. A menor resistência à submersão (27 dias) foi registrada nos animais de uma floresta secundária da terra firme, situada longe do igapó. Na população da terra firme próxima ao igapó, a resistência a submersão foi comparável à registrada para as populações das áreas inundáveis e maior do que a registrada em terra firme longe do igapó. Em experimentos com animais coletados em fevereiro de 1996 (mantidos individualmente em recipientes plásticos), as populações das florestas inundáveis tiveram taxa de sobrevivência significativamente maior em relação aos das florestas não inundáveis. Três situações foram registradas quanto a resistência à submersão: a) a da várzea, com população mais resistente, b) a do igapó, com uma população intermediária e c) a da terra-firme longe do igapó, com uma população menos resistente. Em doze das outras quinze espécies estudadas foi registrada alta resistência às condições de submersão. ABSTRACT -Specimens of Rostrozetes foveolatus were obtained from two inundated forest areas ("várzea" and "igapó") and from two nonflooded secondary forests in the Central Amazon Region. The survival rates of their populations under submerged and nonsubmerged conditions were compared in litter nonsubmerged), in the beginning (April: litter submerged) and in the peak of the inundation phase (July: litter submerged). At "igapó", the animals survived better when submitted to nonsubmerged better adaptation of this population to the submersion stress. The lowest flood resistance (27 days) was found in animals from "terra firme" secondary forest, away from the igapó. A considerable submersion resistance in the population sampled in the secondary forest, near the igapó forest, was comparable to the populations of the inundated areas and greater than the resistence at "terra-firme", far away from the "igapó". Animals sampled in February of 1996 (reared individually in plastic containers), from the flooded forests had significantly higher survival rates than those from secondary forests. Three situations in relation to the submersion period were registered: a) one of "várzea", with a more resistant population, b) one of "igapó", with a intermediate resistance and c) one of "terra-firme", away from the "igapó", with a lower resistant population. In twelve of the fifteen species stud...
