Checklist dos Siphonaptera do Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul
Checklist of Siphonaptera (Insecta) from Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Adult fl eas are haematophagous insects that act as infesting agents or as vectors of pathogens. Their hosts are endothermic animals, essentially rodents. The fl ea fauna of Mato Grosso do Sul State represents 15,9% (10/63) of the Brazilian’s fauna, being little known when compared with other states in number of species or genera. Considering the species that might occur in geographical continuity of states, countries and/or biomes, as well as those not yet known or cosmopolitans, a most expressive richness is estimated. One species is endemic in the state.
期刊介绍:
The journal Iheringia, Série Zoologia, edited by the “Museu de Ciências Naturais” of the “Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul”, publishes original research findings in zoology with emphasis on taxonomy, systematics, morphology, natural history, and community or population ecology of species from current Neotropical fauna. Scientific notes will not be accepted for publication. Species lists without a taxonomic approach, or that are not the result of studies on the ecology or natural history of communities will not normally be accepted. The same applies to identification keys of groups of taxa defined by political boundaries. Authors wishing to inquire about the scope of the journal or the suitability of a particular topic are encouraged to contact the Editorial Board prior to submission. Furthermore, articles with a main focus on agronomy, veterinary, zootechny or other areas involving applied zoology will not be accepted.
Its abbreviated title is Iheringia, Sér. Zool., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
