SUPPORTERS
Dear colleagues, with great enthusiasm, we inform you that, in conjunction with the Brazilian Societies of Zoology, Botany and Microbiology, Bill No. 1993/2024 was filed in the Senate. This project, which proposes the creation of the National Policy on Scientific Biological Collections in Brazil, is crucial to strengthening the research and conservation infrastructure in the country. It seeks not only to strengthen, organize and manage biological collections, but also to facilitate access to essential data and information. We invite everyone to actively participate in this process: you can vote 'YES' to speed up the processing of this project by accessing the Senate website. Access here and do your part to promote science in Brazil. We count on your support!

NEW RELEASE
The book "Introduction and guidelines for good practices for Brazilian scientific biological collections", by Marinoni and collaborators, recently published on the SciELO Books platform is a significant contribution to the Brazilian scientific community, especially for those involved in the management and curation of biological collections .
The book discusses in detail the principles and recommended practices for the maintenance, preservation and sustainable use of biological collections. The authors emphasize the importance of these collections as sources of scientific knowledge and vital genetic resources for diverse areas, including research, development and innovation.
NAPI Taxonline was invited to present the activities it carries out as a Network of Biological Collections in the state of Paraná. The presentation took place at the Fundação Araucária stand during the 75th SBPC Annual Meeting, held in Curitiba.

The identification of natural enemies is essential for successful pest management. The Coleoptera Research Laboratory - LAPCOL has developed studies with insects of agricultural interest in the western region of Paraná, consequently feeding the Entomological Collection of the Palotina Sector - CESP.
The video aims to introduce the techniques for assembling ladybugs from a study of the population fluctuation of Coccinellidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) in an orchard.

Biological collections preserve the history of our biodiversity, helping us to evaluate its distribution in time and space. It is in these spaces that researchers and environmental service providers can consult and study the collected materials, helping the country to responsibly appropriate its natural resources. Collections are important for various areas of knowledge, such as biochemistry, genetics, evolution, geology, biogeography, ecology, conservation and management of natural resources, climatology, medicine, biotechnology, toxicology, legislation, among others.
