- Abstract
The Amazon rainforest has one of the greatest diversities of endemic flora and fauna compared to any other biotope on the planet. In Brazil is found most of the Amazon Forest, about 60%, and the current knowledge of this biodiversity is considered extremely heterogeneous. Thus, this research aimed to carry out a survey of the flora and fauna, specifically of invertebrates, from the Amazon in a portion of the forest in the municipality of Benevides, Pará, in order to have a better knowledge of the species belonging to that area. In aquatic environment, the collection method was through the aquatic collection net; on the ground, several methods and traps were used: entomological net, sweeping net, Malaise Trap, active search with mortar (collector flask), sweet and salty baits, pitfall and aquatic collection net. The samples obtained in the field were screened at the Biology Laboratory of the University of the State of Pará (UEPA). As a result, it was seen that, in the water, there was a predominance of the orders of Odonata (18.69%), Crustacea (14.95%), Hymenoptera and Ephemenoptera (both with 10.28%), while in the soil, in the different types of traps and collections, orders predominated: Collembola, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera and Lepidoptera. The vegetation of the forest plot in this study was mostly composed of herbs (58.75%) and trees (23.24%). At the end of the work, it was concluded that, in the research area, there is a diversity of invertebrates and quality indicators, both in the soil and in the water. Thus, it is essential to maintain the local forest, avoiding future impacts on the existing fauna and flora.
