Species Identification Guides
Taxonomic identification is a key step in studies of biodiversity. For relatively well-known groups, PPBio promotes the production of species identification guides in a colorful format with excellent quality graphics written for a mixed audience, made up of scientists, students, tourists and others. The introductory sections, which occupy much of the content of the books are complete enough to be used by high school students in school projects. These guides are available for free in electronic format.
However, identification can be very time consuming to mega-diverse groups and little studied. For these, it is necessary to work with morphotypes in inventories, to the identification or description of the species. Therefore, the PPBio Portal Amazon offers virtual guides of various taxonomic groups being studied by researchers Program. These guides are preliminary and should not be used for definitive identifications. They are available to stimulate the communication between researchers and experts who can receive the material in the future, and to enhance communication among researchers doing surveys in different areas.

In this expedition, we explored the remote regions of the Amazon interior in search of new species of frogs. Over the course of 40 days, we focused our searches in the municipality of Eirunepé, along stretches of the Juruá, Eiru, and Gregório rivers. The name Eirunepé comes from the Tupi language, meaning "path of black honey," through the combination of eíra (honey), un (black, dark), and (a)pé (path, road). The municipality covers an area of 14,966 km² and is located in the southeast of Amazonas. Editorial Coordination and Organizers: Albertina P. Lima and Jussara S. Dayrell Editorial Project: Albertina P. Lima Layout Design: Yurie Yaginuma |

The main objective of this book is to demystify the most common beliefs about bats and show their diversity of species, forms and colors. In a didactic and simplified language, readers will be able to know the species of bats that occur along BR-319, understand what they feed on, their importance to the environment, the ecological services they perform and, mainly, that the threats that bats represent for the local population exist more in the collective unconscious than in reality itself. We hope you enjoy the book and share the information contained in it.
We wish everyone a great reading!
