• Seasonality in insect abundance in the "Cerrado" of Goiás State, Brazil (2011, methodology): “The adults only abandon the soil to mate and disperse when the temperature rises and the first rains begin (September/October) and can be captured in light traps until December (Oliveira et al. 2007b, 2008).”
• Seasonality of insects in the semi-arid Caatinga of northeastern Brazil (2010, background): “On the other hand, the seasonal pattern of insect abundance in the Cerrado (seasonal savannah-like biome in Brazil), was little affected by climatic variables, with the exception of Coleoptera that responded to maximum temperature and humidity (Pinheiro et al. 2002).”
• Relationships between drosophilids (Diptera, Drosophilidae) and the environment in two contrasting tropical vegetations (2006, background): “To comprehend how tropical insect populations respond to seasonal variations, it is fundamental to clarify their phenological patterns and life history (Braby, 1995; Pinheiro et al., 2002).”
• Seasonality of spiders (Araneae) in Mediterranean ecosystems and its implications in the optimum sampling period (2007, background): “In such areas, the wet season usually reveals more species, individuals, and biomass of arthropods ( Wolda, 1978, 1988; Pearson & Derr, 1986; Basset, 1991; Pinheiro et al. , 2002 ).”
• Diet of Epipedobates flavopictus (Anura: Dendrobatidae) in a Neotropical Savanna (2004, background): “…of Isoptera peaks during the first half of the wet season, the abundance of Hymenoptera peaks twice during the year (once in each season), Coleoptera are more abundant during the second half of the wet season, and Orthoptera are randomly distributed throughout the year (Pinheiro et al., 2002).”
