Generic Revision and Species Classification of the Microdontinae (Diptera, Syrphidae)
Hoverflies of the subfamily Microdontinae have a reputation for causing confusion. The adult flies differ so much from other hoverflies that according to some they should be placed in a family of their own. Their diversity in shape and size is astonishing: from large, furry-haired species and convincing wasp-mimics to tiny, unsightly creatures, easily mistaken for something uninteresting. This paper introduces a new generic classification of the Microdontinae. A key to all 43 genera, 7 subgenera and some species groups is presented. All 552 available species names are classified into (sub)genera and species groups. The resulting classification comprises 454 valid species and 98 synonyms, of which 17 valid names and three synonyms are left unplaced. A total number of 26 new species are described, 267 new combinations of species and genera are proposed. The paper concludes with a discussion on diagnostic characters of Microdontinae.
Manual of Central American Diptera
While volume 1 includes several introductory chapters and treats 42 families of flies in the Lower Diptera, volume 2 covers the remaining 64 families of flies that make up the Higher Diptera (or Cyclorrhapha). These include families of house flies, fruit flies, bot flies, flower flies and many other lesser-known groups. The text is accompanies by over 1660 line drawings and photographs.
A revision of the New World species of Gymnoclasiopa Hendel (Diptera, Ephydridae)
This revision comprehensively documents the New World species of the shore-fly genus Gymnoclasiopa, which primarily has a Holarctic distribution, including some species that are found in both the Nearctic and Palearctic Regions. Discovering additional species common to both biogeographic regions was an objective of this study, as was unraveling any nomenclatural issues that resulted when the same species was described separately in both biogeographic regions. Ten species are treated, including two that are newly described. The authors also document the obvious sexual dimorphism that is evident in some species but which was not previously appreciated, resulting in confused concepts of some species. The authors emphasize structures of the male terminalia, which are fully described and illustrated, in the recognition of species. In addition, detailed locality data and distribution maps for all species are provided. Much of this increase has resulted from a greatly improved sampling of the New World fauna, documenting the ongoing need for field work and better taxon sampling of the earth?s shore-fly fauna.
Governing Digitally Integrated Genetic Resources, Data, and Literature
This book examines the current legal status of the international genetic information commons and proposes alternative management strategies.
A revision of the new world species of Polytrichophora Cresson and Facitrichophora, new genus (Diptera, Ephydridae)
This revision significantly documents a continuing trend in the discovery and documentation of New World shore flies (Diptera: Ephydridae). Two genera of the tribe Discocerinini are treated: Facitrichophora, new genus, with all four included species being newly described, and Polytrichophora Cresson with 19 species, including 11 that are newly described. Previously, eight species were known from the New World. The authors emphasize structures of the male terminalia, which are fully described and illustrated, in the recognition of species and species groups. In addition, detailed locality data and distribution maps for all species are provided. Much of this increase has resulted from a greatly improved sampling of the New World fauna, which documents an ongoing need for field work and better taxon sampling of earth?s shore-fly fauna.

Introdução e orientações às boas práticas para as Coleções Biológicas Científicas Brasileiras
Em 2021, tendo consciência da importância das coleções biológicas para a conservação e para o conhecimento da biodiversidade brasileira, o Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI) solicitou à Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia que coordenasse o projeto “O papel das Redes de Coleções Zoológicas no aprimoramento e preenchimento de lacunas taxonômicas e geográficas em bases de dados de acesso aberto” junto ao Edital CESP do Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (https://www.sibbr.gov.br/page/cesp/cesp-2021.html). O projeto que contou com o financiamento do GBIF, visou fortalecer as coleções zoológicas, fornecendo diretrizes comuns e proporcionando capa...
Coleções biológicas científicas brasileiras
Em 2021, o Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI) solicitou à Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia (SBZ) que coordenasse o projeto “O papel das Redes de Coleções Zoológicas no aprimoramento e preenchimento de lacunas taxonômicas e geográficas em bases de dados de acesso aberto” junto ao Edital Capacity Enhancement Support Programme (CESP) do Global Biodiversity Information. O projeto que contou com o financiamento do GBIF, visou fortalecer as coleções zoológicas, fornecendo diretrizes comuns e proporcionando capacitação em ferramentas de gestão para os curadores. Como parceiro do projeto, o nó português do GBFI apoiou as atividades de capacitação, particularm...
