Not just a taxonomist, but a naturalist! The foundations of “Froehlich’s Autonomous Stonefly Republic”

ABSTRACT

Prof. Dr. Claudio Gilberto Froehlich’s career is presented here using numbers and actions guided by a genuine way to study biodiversity, especially aquatic ecosystems. An extensive number of publications is accompanied by an investment in human resources training and establishing a vast network of collaborators and friendships. Dr. Peter Zwick mentioned the Southeast Region of Brazil as “Froehlich’s Autonomous Stonefly Republic”, to express the magnitude of Prof. Froehlich’s scientific production on Neotropical Plecoptera. In this special volume in honor of Prof. Froehlich, the numbers of his career support Zwick's affirmation. Thirty-nine students graduated in MSc and/or PhD courses, two books, and 20 book chapters were published, as well as 95 articles on geoplanids, onychophorans, cnidarians, mayflies, coleopterans, caddisflies, and especially stoneflies. Froehlich’s legacy includes different ways to observe nature, from taxonomy to ecology, from flatworms to stoneflies.

The first steps in Natural History

Born on June 10, 1927, in São Paulo, Brazil, Professor Dr. Claudio Gilberto Froehlich (CGF) took his initial steps in the realm of Natural History. In 1951, he earned his bachelor's degree in Natural History from the University of São Paulo (USP). The year 1954 marked a significant milestone in his academic journey when he successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, entitled “Morphology and Taxonomy of Geoplanidae,” under the supervision of Professor Dr. Ernst Marcus (1893–1968) at the Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências, USP (as depicted in Fig. 1).

Professor CGF embarked on his teaching career in 1952, imparting knowledge in Zoology to undergraduate students pursuing the Natural History course, later renamed Biological Sciences in 1961, at USP. As a dedicated educator, he played an instrumental role in shaping the budding biologists of his era, many of whom went on to lay the foundation for Brazilian zoology and entomology. His influence as a teacher is vividly illustrated in Prof. Dr. Nelson Papavero’s biographical article: “Some teachers were important during my undergraduate years. One of them was Professor Claudio Froehlich, who is now at the FFCLRP [Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto]. We became friends early on. He has an incredible knowledge of zoology” (Klassa and Santos, 2014Klassa, B., Santos, C. M. D., 2014. The man who loved flies: a biographical profile of Nelson Papavero. Zootaxa 3793 (2), 201-221. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3793.2.1.
http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3793....
).

CGF's journey as a teacher commenced in 1952, and within just three years, he published his first article. During his initial phase as a researcher, he authored nine articles, providing detailed descriptions of 59 species of Geoplanidae (Platyhelminthes) (Froehlich, 1955aFroehlich, C. G., 1955a. Notas sobre geoplanas brasileiras. Pap. Avulsos Zool. 12 (7), 189-198., 1955bFroehlich, C. G., 1955b. Sobre morfologia e taxonomia das Geoplanidae. Zoologia 19, 195-279., 1956aFroehlich, C.

This remarkable body of work accounted for nearly one-third of all Brazilian species (199 species) in the field (Lago-Barcia et al., 2023Lago-Barcia, D., Álvarez-Presas, M., Riutort, M., Oceguera-Figueroa, A., Carbayo, F., 2023.

) (refer to Table 1).

Even today, CGF's legacy in geoplanids systematics and biology continues to shine brightly. Four decades after his last publication on geoplanids, during the XXIX Congresso Brasileiro de Zoologia in Salvador, Bahia state (2012), Professor CGF was pleasantly surprised by a group of enthusiastic students and researchers who sought him out to express their admiration for his contributions to the study of land planarians. With his characteristic humor, Prof. Claudio remarked to one of the authors, “After all these years, they must think I’m a ghost!”

Undoubtedly, his enduring passion for the study of planarians remains unwavering. On numerous occasions, he extended invitations to students, encouraging them to step out of the confines of their collection sites and embark on quests to discover geoplanids.

The foundation of “Froehlich’s Autonomous Stonefly Republic”

The “Froehlich’s Autonomous Stonefly Republic” was mentioned by Dr. Peter Zwick during the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Awardees 1998, International Association of Plecopterists (Fig. 2).

The list of the full name and their respective initials is provide at the Table 2.

The foundation of the republic started in 1960 when CGF published “On The Stonefly Fauna Of Western Lule Lappmark, Swedish Lappland” (Brinck and Froehlich, 1960aBrinck, P., Froehlich, C. G., 1960a. On The Stonefly Fauna of Western Lule Lappmark, Swedish Lappland. Kungl. Fys. Sallsk. Lund Forhandl. 30 (1), 1-19.), and “The Reproductive Organs Of The Plecopteron “Isoperla grammatica” (Poda, 1767)” (Brinck and Froehlich, 1960bBrinck, P., Froehlich, C. G., 1960b. The Reproductive Organs of the Plecopteron “Isoperla Grammatica” (Poda, 1767). Ent. Tidsskrift 81 (3-4), 53-62.). These two papers on European fauna were written during his post-doctoral period at Lund University, Sweden, with the coauthor and supervisor, Professor Dr. Per Simon Valdemar Brinck (1919–2013).

In the same year, CGF published his first article on Neotropical stoneflies as a single author, “Some Gripopterygids and Notonemourines (Plecoptera) From South America” (Froehlich, 1960bFroehlich, C. G., 1960b. Some Gripopterygids and Notonemourines (Plecoptera) From South America. Lunds Univ Arsskrift 56 (13), 1-24.). Ever since, he has published many works on ecology and taxonomy of aquatic insects, especially stoneflies (Froehlich, 1964aFroehlich, C. G., 1964a. Plecoptera. In: Vanzolini, P.

The “Catalogue of Neotropical Plecoptera” published in Illiesia (Froehlich, 2010aFroehlich, C. G., 2010a. Catalogue of Neotropical Plecoptera. Iliesia 6, 118-205.) and the book “Aquatic Biodiversity in Latin America. South American Stoneflies (Plecoptera)” (Stark et al., 2009Stark, B. P., Froehlich, C. G., Zuniga, M. C., 2009. Aquatic Biodiversity in Latin America. Pensoft, Moscou, 154 pp. (South American Stoneflies (Plecoptera), 5).) constitute fundamental references to any researcher working on Neotropical stoneflies.

Professor CGF was not the first South American researcher dedicated to aquatic insects, especially stoneflies, however, he was the first South American-born researcher to study aquatic insects. This led Zwick (1999)Zwick, P., 1999. Laudationes and presentations of the lifetime achievement award to Dr Claudio Froehlich. Perla. 17, 9-13. to declare that “a large part of the South American Subcontinent is now well studied, by a resident South American student”. Prof. Claudio has always been dedicated to research on Plecoptera, and participating in almost all International Symposium on Plecoptera held around the world. Always taking knowledge of Brazil's Plecoptera to the world (Figs. 5-7).

Professor CGF also dedicated his time to advisory activities. Presently, at least five active researchers are dedicated to stoneflies in Brazil (Dr. Pitágoras C. Bispo, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Assis, São Paulo state; Dr. Lucas Silveira Lecci, Universidade de Cuiabá, Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso state; Dr. Karina O. Righi-Cavallaro, Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state; Dr. Lucas Henrique de Almeida, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Assis, São Paulo state), and Argentina (Dr. Tácio Duarte, Centro de Investigación Esquel de Montaña y Estepa Patagónica, Esquel, Chubut province), all of them belonging to CGF’s direct lineage (Fig. 2). In Brazil, two other researchers have received CGF’s contributions by collaboration in papers or evaluation committees (Dra. Fernanda Avelino-Capistrano, Centro Universitário São José, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro state; Dr José Moacir Ferreira Ribeiro, Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém, Pará state).

The legacy of Prof. CGF is clearly expressed in the Brazilian stonefly taxonomy (Table 1). Considering the current knowledge about the Brazilian stoneflies, 200 stonefly species have been described until now, 83 (ca. 42%) of them described by CGF (65 species described exclusively by him (35%), and the other 18 in collaborations). If we consider only the taxonomy of Brazilian stoneflies after 1969, the year of his first valid species description (Paragripopteryx angaFroehlich, 1969bFroehlich, C. G., 1969b. Studies on Brazilian Plecoptera 1. Some from the biological station at Paranapiacaba, state of São Paulo. Beitr. Neotrop. Fauna 6 (1), 17-39. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01650526909360412.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01650526909360...
), the contribution of Prof. CGF can be better scaled. Excluding the 68 stonefly species described before 1964, the 83 species described by CGF represent circa 63% of the total (132 species). Considering the CGF’s impact in the second and third levels (species described by his academic descendants), the contribution is above 90%, with only 12 species described by other authors.

Not just a taxonomist, but a naturalist who integrated systematics and ecology

CGF´s exemplary and productive scientific career did not stop on the geoplanids and stoneflies (Fig. 1), as he also studied onychophorans (Froehlich, 1963aFroehlich, C. G., 1963a. Ocorrência de Forma Polipoide de Craspedacusta sowerby Lank. (Limnomedusae). An. Acad. Bras. Cienc. 35 (3), 421-422., 1968Froehlich, C. G., 1968. On some Brazilian Onychophores. Beitr. Neotrop.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01650526809360...
) and cnidarians (Froehlich, 1963bFroehlich, C. G., 1963b. A Peripatus from Barbados. Boll. Zool. (24), 325-333.). Froehlich (1968)Froehlich, C. G., 1968. On some Brazilian Onychophores. Beitr. Neotrop. Fauna 5 (3), 160-171. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01650526809360404.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01650526809360...
proposed the first revisionary paper on Brazilian Onychophora, which included comments on three described species, Epiperipatus edwardsii (Blanchard, 1847), Macroperipatus acacioi (Marcus & Marcus, 1955), Peripatus (Peripatus) evelinae Marcus, 1937 (a new combination and a lectotype designation), and the description of a new species, Peripatus (Epiperipatus) tucupi, based on two female specimens from the state of Pará (Sampaio-Costa et al., 2009Sampaio-Costa, C., Chagas-Junior, A., Baptista, R. L. C., 2009. Brazilian species of Onychophora with notes on their taxonomy and distribution. Zoologia 26 (3), 553-561. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1984-46702009005000004.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1984-46702009...
). This species was reallocated to Epiperipatus tucupi by Peck (1975).

Froehlich (1963b)Froehlich, C. G., 1963b. A Peripatus from Barbados. Boll. Zool. (24), 325-333. is his single contribution on cnidarians. CGF recorded the occurrence of the polyp stage of Craspedacusta sowerbii (peach blossom jellyfish), a species of freshwater hydrozoan jellyfish native to the Yangtze basin in China that has been introduced on every continent except for Antarctica.

Among aquatic insects, Prof. CGF also dedicated to the study of mayflies (Froehlich, 1963cFroehlich, C. G., 1963c.

CGF was the first Brazilian researcher to publish a new mayfly species, Caenis cuniana Froehlich, 1969 (Caenidae). It was described based on a parthenogenetic species (Fig. 3) from Estação Biológica de Boracéia, Salesópolis, São Paulo state.

During the decades of 1970s and 1980s, CGF divided his attention between studying aquatic insects and limnology, especially the ecology of reservoirs in São Paulo state (Froehlich et al., 1978Froehlich, C. G., Arcifa, M. S., Carvalho, M. A. J., 1978. Temperature and oxygen stratification in Americana Reservoir, State of São Paulo, Brazil. SIL Proc. 20, 1710-1719.; Arcifa et al., 1981aArcifa, M.

) of this period have been the most cited of CGF’s career, with 150 and 115 citations until now (public profile of Scholar Google).

BIOTA period and the Laboratório de Entomologia Aquática, Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Ribeirão Preto

In 1985, CGF retired and moved out to Ribeirão Preto city, São Paulo state, where he started a new cycle at Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, USP, teaching at the Graduate Entomology Program and participating in the training of several students, mainly on aquatic insects. During this period, he coordinated two of the most critical projects on the aquatic biodiversity of Brazil, the BIOTA projects granted by FAPESP named “Survey and Biology of Freshwater Crustacea, Insecta and Mollusca from São Paulo state” (1999–2003) and “Survey and Biology of Aquatic Insecta and Oligochaeta from lotic systems in the State of São Paulo” (2005–2009). With these projects, CGF was able to build roots in the interior of the State of São Paulo, providing resources to build a laboratory specialized in aquatic insects, that trained researchers in systematics and ecology.

During the BIOTA period, CGF experienced the most productive time of his career in different aspects (Fig. 3), with 58 articles (61% of his total), 53 new species described (~45% of total), and 22 graduate students (nine M.Sc., and 13 Ph.D. students), almost 50% of the total.

Prof. Dr. Claudio Froehlich and his own way of mentorship

In parallel to scientific publications, CGF invested a lot of his time forming the next generation of Brazilian researchers (Fig. 4), directly through formal advising of students or indirectly by collaboration on papers or examining committees.

Prof. CGF has also had a proficuous career as an advisor, shown in his high Descendancy index (Di = number of academic descendents, direct and indirect), which is 3,056 sensu Acacia Platform (http://plataforma-acacia.org/profile/claudio-gilberto-froehlich/). Considering the Di, CGF’s first generation presents outstanding researchers, which evidences the success of his mentoring approach (e.g., Dr. Ivan Sazima, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Di = 1,350; Dr. Aristides Pereira Rocha, Faculdade de Saúde Pública, USP, Di = 441; Dr. Hitoshi Nomura, Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, USP, Di = 432; and Dr. José Henrique Guimarães (Museu de Zoologia, USP, Di = 286).

The direct CGF’s academic descendency is 41, counting M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, most of them working (or retired) at Brazilian public universities (26, around 70%). Another five of them work at Brazilian private universities, three in research institutes (Instituto Butantan and Instituto de Pesca, both in São Paulo state), and three are in the private sector as teachers or environmental consultants. Considering the 31 former students working (or retired) at Brazilian universities, we can observe the breadth of Prof. CGF’s legacy (Fig. 4). Research centers have been established at universities in all Brazilian regions (four in the Central-western region, one in the Northern region, two in the Northeastern region, four in the Southern region, and 21 in the Southeastern region). Some of these research centers focus on the systematics of aquatic insects, others on ecological studies, but most are developing integrative research with systematics, biogeography, and ecology (Table 2).

The list of the researchers with their respective initials names, the region with their institutions and the number of indirect descendants of CGF. The color of the initial names means: in yellow M.Sc. students and in green Ph.D. students advised by CGF Brazilian regions: CW=Central-west; S=South; SE=Southeast; N=North; NE Northeast.

CGF also contributed to academic management as the first coordinator (1970–1972) of the Graduate Program in Zoology of the Institute of Biosciences, USP, which was the single Zoology Ph.D. program in Brazil for a long time. Later, in Ribeirão Preto, CGF contributed to the Graduate Program in Entomology, USP, as a member of its deliberative committee, and member of the several evaluation committees of Ph.D. theses and M.Sc. dissertations.

Homages to Prof. Claudio Froehlich in zoological nomenclature

Prof. CGF had an enormous number of species named after him, another clear indication of his importance in Brazilian zoology. These homages comprise 35 species in 21 families of seven insect orders (three Coleoptera: two Elmidae, and one Torridincolidae; six Diptera, all Chironomidae; six Ephemeroptera: one Leptohyphidae, four Leptophlebiidae and one Polymitarcyidae; one Mecoptera, Bittacidae; one Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae; five Plecoptera: two Perlidae, and three Gripopterygidae; fifteen Trichoptera: five Leptoceridae, two Hydroptilidae, Two Polycentropodidae and one each of the families Atriplectididae, Calamoceratidae, Hydrobiosidae, Hydropsychidae, Glossosomatidae and Philopotamidae). In addition, CGF has been honored with three insect genera names: Claudioperla Illies, 1963 (Plecoptera, Gripopterygidae), Claudiella Reichardt & Vanin, 1976 (Coleoptera, Torridincolidae), and Claudiotendipes Andersen, Mendes & Pinho, 2017 (Diptera, Chironomidae). Two other species were described in CGF’s honor, one in Crustacea (Copepoda, Parastenocariidae) and one in Platyhelminthes (Tricladida, Geoplanidae). All taxa names are presented below.

Final considerations

CGF’s publications include several land planarian species, one velvet worm, and more than a hundred aquatic insect species, as well as some articles on the limnology of reservoirs or ecological studies.

This article presents a synthesis of the CGF’s legacy, either in scientific articles or human resources training. The multiplying factor of CGF’s advisorship can be observed in the several new research centers distributed in Brazil that continue to follow in his footsteps in the study of Brazilian aquatic ecosystems. Prof. CGF provided a solid, scientific, and ethical basis to the next generation of researchers on Brazilian aquatic entomology, and this short article is a summary of his bestowal and also the result of our pure gratitude.

More than an adviser…

Information Compilation

Synthesizing a magnificent academic career built by our great advisor was a very difficult task. Thus, we assume responsibility for any misinterpretation or errors. All information was mainly extracted from the Lattes Platform, Acacia Platform, “Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil” website (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/fauna/listaBrasil), and Stark et al. (2009)Stark, B. P., Froehlich, C. G., Zuniga, M. C., 2009. Aquatic Biodiversity in Latin America. Pensoft, Moscou, 154 pp. (South American Stoneflies (Plecoptera), 5).. All data was sewn with our memories from lab and field work under the supervision of Prof. Claudio. Other publications were cited occasionally. All CGF’s publications were presented, as well as all taxa names dedicated to him.

Acknowledgments

The authors sincerely thank the mentor and friendship of Prof. Dr. Claudio Gilberto Froehlich. The exemplary scientific practice will always be our compass. We also thank Dr. Tácio Duarte (Centro de Investigación Esquel de Montaña y Estepa Patagónica, Argentina) for some data from his stonefly data basis. We are grateful to Dr. Dalton Amorim (USP) for encouraging us to organize the 3rd Symposium on Neotropical Aquatic Insects in 2015 in honor of Prof. Claudio, which had the presence of several researchers and/or friends from Brazil and abroad (Argentina, Colombia, USA). We also thank a lot to Augusto Froehlich for the pictures of the 90th birthday of Prof. Claudio as well as Sidnei Mateus and Janice Peters for other Claudio’s pictures.
