Abstract:

Diptera are one of the four megadiverse insect orders, with great environmental, ecological, forensic and medical-sanitary relevance. The Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, located in an urban area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, constitutes an important refuge, supporting the conservation of several species. Through the knowledge of the diversity of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae in this location, it will be possible to identify the behavior of native species along with the invasive genus Chrysomya, and to evaluate the influence of abiotic factors (temperature, relative humidity and pluviosity) on insect capture. Eight traps containing sardines were set and a total of 36,035 Diptera specimens were collected, of which 35,890 were of the Calliphoridae family and 145 of the Mesembrinellidae family. The average abiotic variables recorded were: Temperature 25,6 ºC (± 3,17), humidity 68% (±9,33%) and rainfall 3.42 mm (± 7,99). The total abundance of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae peaked during January 2015, with the highest temperature. Among the variables and abundance and richness indices, significant results were only observed between temperature and abundance. None of the variables showed significant correlation with Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae richness. The presence of some species of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae indicates the area’s good conservation status as they only occur in highly preserved forest areas. Through the knowledge of their richness and abundance, new legislation can be developed to help conservation efforts in deeply modified environments.

Abstract:

Dipterans of the Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae families are of high relevance in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, and it is important to examine their diversity and abundance in the different ecological areas of this biome over a time interval. This study aimed to study the diversity and abundance of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae by evaluating the sexual variation and the influence of abiotic factors (average temperature, relative humidity and total precipitation) on the capture of insects collected during the four seasons of the year. Four traps were installed in each ecological area containing 300 grams of beef liver as attractive bait, which remained exposed for 48 hours in each season during the period between autumn 2021 and summer 2022. The collected dipterans were sacrificed, sent to the Laboratório de Estudos de Dípteros (LED-UNIRIO), and taxonomically identified. The Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests were used to examine the influence of the four seasons on the abundance, and the Spearman correlation was used to relate abundance to abiotic variables. A total of 2,826 dipterans were collected during the four seasons of the year, represented by nine species of the Calliphoridae family and ten of the Mesembrinellidae family. During the summer, a numerically larger amount of insects was collected, but the Kruskal-Wallis test (chi-square = 5.2781, p = 0.1525) showed there was no significant difference between the abundance of the species collected and the seasons. Spearman’s correlation showed that most species did not show a significant correlation between their respective abundances and the analyzed abiotic factors. The Wilcoxon test indicated that there is a significant difference between the abundance of females and males, with females being significantly more abundant than males, however the difference is statistically greater within the Calliphoridae family (W = 60.49, p = 5.8x10-12) in relation to the Mesembrinellidae family (W = 1231.5, p = 0.019).

Abstract:

The determination of the synanthropic index is essential to evaluate the degree of association between species, such as diptera and man, based solely on their degree of preference for urban areas. This research aimed to study the synanthropic behavior of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae flies in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The experiment was conducted between 2021 and 2022 in three areas, where four traps containing 300 g of fresh liver or with 48 h of putrefaction were installed, remaining exposed for 48 h; after collection the dipterans were sacrificed and taxonomically identified. A total of 2,826 dipterans were collected, represented by nine species of Calliphoridae (89.24%) and ten of Mesembrinellidae (10.76%), with the first record of Mesembrinella currani in this biome. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the abundance of individuals did not differ among the three analyzed environments. The Mesembrinellidae family was exclusively asynanthrope, along with two species of Calliphoridae: Hemilucilia benoisti (Séguy 1925) and Paralucilia nigrofacialis (Mello 1969) which were exclusive of the forest area, while Calliphoridae had varied synanthropy. Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann 1819) alone represented 57.18% of the total sampled, being the most abundant in all environments except the urban area where Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius 1805) totaled 55.73%. No species were exclusive to the urban area, however Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel 1858) and Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann 1830) were exclusive to the rural area. The most synanthropic species were Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius 1794) and Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann 1819).

Abstract:

Adult Mesembrinellidae feeds on decomposed organic matter; their mouthparts are adapted to collect soft or semi-liquid food, including microorganisms. It is known that this family is attractive for feces, and animal substrates. They are potential bioindicators of environmental quality, with some species already evaluated for such use in certain forest environments, and can help to solve ecological problems and diagnose the causes of environmental changes, being an inexpensive way to indicate the conditions of an environment. Muscomorpha is supported by the presence of posterior spiracles, both immature forms, not the last abdominal segment. This infraorder shelters the so-called Muscoid Diptera, insects that are among the groups of greatest economic and medical-veterinary importance. The objective of this work is to verify the biological characteristics of the family Mesembrinellidae (Insecta: Diptera). In terms of the type of research source, we worked with scientific articles published in national and international journals. This modality of production, in addition to being commonly the most valued in the set of bibliographic production, is the most easily accessed. Access to articles was through virtual libraries such as SCIELO, ResearchGate, Hall, USP, UNB, CAPES, and LILACS.

Abstract:

Abstract Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae are relevant to environmental conservation, public health, and forensic entomology. Researches regarding the flight behavior and the influence of abiotic factors on these insects may assist the application of entomology sciences. This study aimed to analyze the population fluctuation of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae, verifying the influence of environmental factors, trap height, and the anthropic effect in the Itaipu–Piratininga lagoon complex, Niterói (RJ). The collections were carried out monthly from September 2015 to August 2016, with fish bait (sardines) exposed for 48 h, totaling six traps, installed in three physiognomies (mangrove, ombrophilous forest, and restinga) at 1.5 and 2.5 m from the ground. Nine thousand seven hundred seventy-three individuals were captured, comprising two families, five genera and 11 species. Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) was the predominant species and Mesembrinella bellardiana (Aldrich, 1922) (Diptera: Mesembrinellidae) the least representative, indicating the low preservation level of this ecosystem. There was a weak, positive correlation between abundance of Chloroprocta idioidea (Robineau Desvoidy, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), Ch. megacephala, Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1818) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), and Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) with the temperature, as well as between the abundance of C. idioidea and Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) with precipitation; however, there was no correlation between abundance and relative humidity. No significant influence of the trap height was observed. We stated a high influence of anthropic effects on the restinga and mangrove physiognomies, while the forest physiognomy still retains its preserved characteristics, with the dominance of forestall species.
