“…d 'Almeida & Almeida (1998) reported a larger trophic niche for this species in the urban area of Rio de Janeiro, with a preference for vegetable substrate for reproduction, coinciding with Ogbalu et al (2005). A. orientalis differs to behaviour shown in La Pintada in this study, where it was found with most frequency on decomposing animal bait.…”

ABSTRACT. Synanthropy and ecological aspects of Muscidae (Diptera) in a tropical dry forest ecosystem in Colombia. The synanthropic index and other ecological aspects of the Muscidae family were evaluated through simultaneous monthly sampling in three different environments (urban, rural and forest) using van Someren-Rydon traps baited with human faeces, chicken viscera and decomposing fish and onion. Four traps were set up in each environment (one per bait item) for 48 hours per month, with samples taken every 12 hours. A total of 5726 specimens were collected, belonging to 19 species and 13 genera. Brontaea normata (+99,9), Brontaea quadristigma (+96,9), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (+96,5), Ophyra aenescens (+96,2), Musca domestica (+95,7) and Atherigona orientalis (+93,8) had the highest synanthropic indices, showing a marked preference for human environments. The most abundant species were B. normata (24,31%), Biopyrellia bipuncta (20,60%) and Pseudoptilolepis nigripoda (15,82%), the latter two showed a preference for uninhabited areas. A total of 11 new records for Colombia were found: Ophyra aenescens, Cyrtoneuropsis pararescita, Morellia basalis, Neomuscina dorsipuncta, Biopyrellia bipuncta, Pseudoptilolepis nigripoda, Neomuscina instabilis, Neomuscina currani, Polietina orbitalis, Neomuscina pictipennis and Cyrtoneuropsis maculipennis. Except for the first four species, the remainder presented negative synantrophy indexes (from minor to major), which would allow to use them as ecological indicators of the disturbance degree of dry forests in Colombia.KEYWORDS.

Se evaluó el índice de sinantropía al igual que otros aspectos ecológicos de la familia Muscidae, mediante muestreos mensuales simultáneos en tres ambientes (urbano, rural y bosque), para lo cual se utilizaron trampas van Someren Rydon cebadas con excremento humano, vísceras de pollo, pescado y cebolla en descomposición. En cada zona se instalaron cuatro trampas (una por atrayente), durante 48 horas cada mes, realizando colectas cada 12 horas. Se colectaron 5726 ejemplares pertenecientes a 19 especies y 13 géneros. Brontaea normata (+99,9), Brontaea quadristigma (+96,9), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (+96,5), Ophyra aenescens (+96,2), Musca domestica (+95,7) y Atherigona orientalis (+93,8), presentaron los índices de sinantropía mas altos, mostrando una marcada preferencia por los ambientes humanos. Las especies más abundante fueron B. normata (24,31%), Biopyrellia bipuncta (20,60%) y Pseudoptilolepis nigripoda (15,82%), las dos últimas con preferencia por áreas deshabitadas. Se encontraron un total de 11 reportes nuevos para Colombia: Ophyra aenescens, Cyrtoneuropsis pararescita, Morellia basalis, Neomuscina dorsipuncta, Biopyrellia bipuncta, Pseudoptilolepis nigripoda, Neomuscina instabilis, Neomuscina currani, Polietina orbitalis, Neomuscina pictipennis y Cyrtoneuropsis maculipennis...

“…P. eximia has provided information regarding behavioral changes influenced by competition with species introduced into Brazil (paraluppi, 1996). this indicates that the largest niche for eximia is in urban areas, followed by forested areas (D'Almeida & Almeida, 1998).…”

Diversity of Calliphoridae (Diptera) in Brazil's Tinguá Biological Reserve

et al. 2006

ABSTRACTthe Calliphoridae are flies of great ecological, medical and sanitary importance because they are decomposers of organic matter, mechanical vectors of pathogenic agents, and causers of myiasis. this paper attempts to ascertain the diversity of Calliphoridae in the tinguá Biological reserve and correlate meteorological data (temperature, relative humidity of the air, and precipitation) with the occurrence of these flies. the study was conducted at a site in the tinguá Biological reserve, located in the municipality of nova iguaçu, state of rio de Janeiro, Brazil. four traps were set up using chicken viscera as bait. the experiment was conducted over the period of May 2001 to April 2002, with two monthly collections. the captured flies were killed with ether and conserved in 70% alcohol and identified in the laboratory of Diptera studies (unirio) and the laboratory of vector insect Biology and Control (fioCruz), both headquartered in the city of rio de Janeiro, rJ, Brazil. A total of 1,987 insects were captured, 37.5% belonging to the family Calliphoridae, 29.4% to Muscidae, 16.0% to sarcophagidae, and 17.1% to other families. the most representative species found was Phaenicia eximia (47.0%), followed by Hemilucilia semidiaphana (23.6%), Mesembrinella bellardiana (13.7%), Hemilucilia segmentaria (7.5%), Chloroprocta idioidea (4.9%), Chrysomya albiceps (1.2%), Chrysomya megacephala (0.9%), Phaenicia sericata (0.6%), Eumesembrinella sp. (0.5%), and Chrysomya putoria (0.1%). large numbers of Calliphoridae were noted in May, June, september and January, coinciding with low rainfall and an average temperature of 21.8 to 27.0 °C. A negative correlation was found between the number of Calliphoridae captured and meteorological factors.Keywords: population dynamics, biological reserve, Calliphoridae. ReSumo

“…), ou seja, o tamanho do nicho de uma espécie pode ser medido observando-se a distribuição dos seus indivíduos no conjunto dos estados do recurso (CoLweLL & FutuyMa, 1971 (taVareS & wiLLiaMS, 1990;MajuMDar et al, 2011;CapeLLo et al, 2012). Vale ressaltar que a sobreposição de nicho não sugere necessariamente competição entre os pares de espécies envolvidas, pois o recurso pode existir em quantidade suficiente para atender as espécies envolvidas (SCHoereDer & CoutinHo, 1991;D'aLMeiDa & aLMeiDa, 1998).…”
