“…In relation to their geological properties, Peripheral Depression unit is characterized by a flat topography and lands of magmatic sedimentary rocks with crystalline rocks; and Atlantic Plateau is characterized by orogenic belts, a continuous range of mountains with deep valleys and channels, with several soil types including cambisols, lithic, podzolic and podzolic yellow-red and red-yellow oxisol, and rocky outcrops (Ross, 2013). (Figure 1) is found in winter in good numbers in these two GMRs, as well as in many other places of the Atlantic Rainforest biome, especially in Southern Brazil and in high altitudes (Batista, Rocha, & Klaczko, 2018;Saavedra, Callegari-Jacques, Napp, & Valente, 1995). This is an almost exclusively forest-dwelling Neotropical species belonging to the tripunctata group, subgenus Drosophila (Bächli, 2018;Hatadani et al, 2009;Vilela, 1992;Yotoko, Medeiros, Solferini, & Klaczko, 2003).…”
