• Conserving the Brazilian semiarid (Caatinga) biome under climate change (2012, methodology): “Bioclimatic envelope modelling Ensemble forecasting methodologies for defining the species’ potential distributions (Araújo and New 2007; see also Peterson et al. 2011) were implemented following the methodology described in Diniz-Filho et al. (2009a, 2010).”
• GlobalAnts: a new database on the geography of ant traits (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (2017, unknown): “For species-rich groups such as insects, incomplete taxonomic knowledge can be a huge barrier to ecological understanding (Diniz-Filho et al., 2010).”
• The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, methodology): “…marked habitat fidelity, many invertebrate taxa are indeed ideal indicators of habitat change caused by human activity, more so than vertebrates, providing datasets with higher temporal and spatial resolution for conservation (Diniz-Filho et al., 2010; Gaspar et al., in press; Kremen et al., 1993).”
• Evolutionary and biogeographical history of an ancient and global group of arachnids (Arachnida: Opiliones: Cyphophthalmi) with a new taxonomic arrangement (2012, background): “Despite some obvious limitations (Diniz et al., 2010), this approach may be very useful to evaluate patterns in groups with limited distributional data such as insects and other arthropods including Cyphophthalmi.”
• The strong influence of collection bias on biodiversity knowledge shortfalls of Brazilian terrestrial biodiversity (2016, background): “Arthropods, for example, have been historically neglected (Gaston & May, 1992; Diniz-Filho et al., 2010), while it is assumed that vertebrates are better known.”
