塔巴尼科被认为是对人类的滋扰,野生动物,和牲畜由于他们的痛苦,烦人,坚持咬。烟草类生物和机械传播一些病原体和寄生虫。在人类中,定期传播的病原体相对较少。尽管如此,tabanids作为许多动物疾病的媒介,包括病毒,细菌,原生动物,和线虫。它们在热带和潮湿地区更丰富,它们的季节模式受到栖息地变化的影响,如森林砍伐和碎片化。这里,我们分析了蒙特内格罗的禁忌动物区系,朗多尼亚的中央自治市,巴西,比较丰度,丰富,以及森林和牧场栖息地的多样性。每个月设置5天的陷阱,连续12个月。我们还研究了非生物因素(湿度,温度,和降雨)影响了丰度,多样性,以及Malaise和Nzi陷阱作为样本方法的丰富性和有效性。使用广义线性模型测试了气候变量对物种丰富度和丰度的影响,我们使用非参数维缩放(nMDS)来分析不同陷阱和环境中的物种组成和多样性。我们收集了25个物种的1032个标本。最丰富的物种是南极塔巴努斯,四角双锥菌,胸膜,和白术白术。森林栖息地的烟草数量最多,其次是牧场和人化地区,Malaise和Nzi陷阱的有效性没有显着差异。该研究提供了有关巴西烟草的分布和生态的新信息。
Tabanidae are considered a nuisance to humans, wild animals, and livestock due to their painful, annoying, and insistent biting. Tabanids transmit some pathogens and parasites biologically and mechanically. In humans, there are relatively few pathogens transmitted regularly. Still, tabanids serve as vectors of a number of disease agents of animals, including viruses, bacteria, protozoans, and nematodes. They are more abundant in tropical and humid regions, and their seasonal patterns are affected by habitat changes such as deforestation and fragmentation. Here, we analyze the tabanid fauna in Monte Negro, a central municipality of Rondônia, Brazil, comparing abundance,
richness, and diversity in forest and pasture habitats. Traps were set for 5 days a month for 12 consecutive months. We also examined how abiotic factors (humidity, temperature, and rainfall) affected the abundance, diversity, and
richness and the effectiveness of Malaise and Nzi traps as sample methods. The influence of climatic variables on the
richness and abundance of the species was tested using generalized linear models, and we used non-parametric dimensional scaling (nMDS) for analysis of species composition and diversity in different traps and environments. We collect 1032 specimens of 25 species. The most abundant species were Tabanus antarcticus, Dichelacera tetradelta, Tabanus mucronatus, and Leucotabanus albovarius. Forest habitats had the highest number of tabanids, followed by pasture and the anthropized area, and there was no significant difference regarding the effectiveness of the Malaise and Nzi traps. The study provides new information on the distribution and ecology of tabanids in Brazil.
