ISSN-0034-7744) Vol. 57 (Suppl. 1): 267-274, November 2009, 2009-11)Mating behavior in Centruroides margaritatus, as in other scorpion species, includes a series of rapid rocking or shaking movements of the male (“juddering”). It has been suggested that substrate vibrations are generated ... -
El suero de neonatos de Clelia clelia (Serpentes: Colubridae) neutraliza la acción hemorrágica del veneno de Bothrops asper (Serpentes: Viperidae).
(1989)The ability of serum from nine newbom specimens of Clelia clelia (Colubridae) to neutralize hernorrhagic action of Bothrops asper venom was tested. All serum samples neutralized completely the hernorrhagic effect of the ... -
The countries and languages that dominate biological research at the beginning of the 21st century
(Revista de Biolología Tropical 53 (1-2): 283-294, 2005, 2005)Traditionally, studies of scientific productivity are biased in two ways: they are based on Current Contents, an index centered in British and American journals, and they seldom correct for population size, ... -
