“…The species richness in the localities of the Pampa biome is lower than that found in the Pantanal biome (Barros and Foil , Barros ), Jau National Park (Henriques and Rafael , Henriques ), which is between the Amazon and Roraima in the western Amazon (Oliveira et al Ferreira‐Keppler et al however, the observed richness is very close to that which was observed in Tocantins in Cerrado biome (Lima et al This can be explained by the latitudinal gradient, productivity, geologic time, size, and type of sampling areas (Rosenzweig ); these variables provide a consistent set of hypotheses to explain the increased diversity of tabanids in the tropics compared to subtropical areas.…”

“…The pattern of pronounced seasonality for the Tabanidae fauna was expected and depends on the species, MT and RH, as well as the location in South America (Raymond , , Gorayeb , Barros and Foil , Barros , Oliveira et al Cardeñas et al 2009, Ferreira‐Keppler et al North America (Burnett and Hays ), Japão (Amano ), Oceania (Romo and Tylianakis ) and Europe (Chvala et al , Krčmar , , Hackenberger et al Altunsoy and Kiliç , Mikuška et al Herczeg et al ). In tropical areas of Brazil, there is a well‐defined rainy and dry seasonality.…”

“…Numerous studies investigated the effects of meteorological factors on seasonal abundance of tabanids worldwide (Roberts , Leprince et al Strickler and Walker , McElligot and Lewis , Krčmar , , Barros , Hribar et al Oliveira et al Ferreira‐Keppler et al Van Hennekeler et al , Baldacchino et al Herczeg et al ) and these studies are very important from the standpoint of medical and veterinary parasitology, because some species participate in transmission of various diseases (Foil , Foil and Hogsette , Vazeille‐Falcoz et al Thomson and Connor ).…”

Fluctuations in seasonal patterns of horse fly populations were examined in rainforests of tropical South America, where the climate is seasonal. These patterns were evaluated with robust analytical models rather than identifying the main factors that influenced the fluctuations. We examined the seasonality of populations of horse flies in fields and lowland areas of the Pampa biome of southern Brazil with generalized linear models. We also investigated the diversity of these flies and the sampling effort of Malaise traps in this biome over two years. All of the 29 species had clear seasonality with regard to occurrence and abundance, but only seven species were identified as being influenced by temperature and humidity. The sampling was sufficient and the estimated diversity was 10% more than observed. Seasonal trends were synchronized across species and the populations were most abundant between September and March and nearly zero in other months. While previous studies demonstrated that seasonal patterns in population fluctuations are correlated with climatic conditions in horse fly assemblages in South America rainforests, we show a clear effect of each factor on richness and abundance and the seasonality in the prevalence of horse fly assemblages in localities of the Pampa biome.

“…Some other studies in Brazil have shown that even within a single family or genus, there are large seasonal variations of Diptera abundance, with some species being more abundant in drier periods and others in wetter ones (Torres & Madi-Ravazzi 2006;Oliveira et al 2007a). The Diptera form a group with very heterogeneous habitats and feeding habits.…”

“…With respect to mist‐related factors (i.e. lower temperatures, higher relative humidity, and frequent rainfall events), results of this study were not consistent with a previously observed negative effect on tabanid flight activity (Pino et al ., ; Oliveira et al ., ). Intriguingly, while relative humidity showed a significant positive effect on tabanid abundance at the 1180 and 1680 m sites, and rainfall had a significant negative effect at the 1680 m site, mist showed both positive (1680 m) and negative (2180 m) effects at different elevations.…”

Fine‐scale climatic variation drives altitudinal niche partitioning of tabanid flies in a tropical montane cloud forest, Ecuadorian Chocó

1. In montane systems, global warming may lead communities to disassemble by forcing organisms to shift their distributions to higher elevations or by causing the extinction of those that are unable to adapt. To predict which species are most at risk from environmental change, physiological responses to multiple factors must be measured in natural conditions at fine spatial and temporal scales.2. To examine the potential drivers of elevational distributions in tabanid flies, specimens were exhaustively sampled at three altitudes within a tropical montane cloud forest in Western Ecuador. Observed abundances were then correlated with seven environmental variables measured in situ. It was hypothesised that (1) tabanid distributions were significantly associated with particular environmental conditions measured in each altitudinal habitat, and (2) a greater proportion of lowland species were limited to a specific elevation than highland species.3. Most species occupied well-defined altitudinal niches corresponding to optimal climatic conditions. Colder weather, higher daily temperature variability, and higher levels of moisture seemed to limit most species from establishing in high elevation sites of this mountainous ecosystem.4. Despite the high dispersal potential of tabanids within the study area, results suggest that most tabanid flies are limited to the subset of altitudes where their climatic requirements are satisfied.
