Asociación entre la morfología alar y el uso del hábitat en seis especies de palomas (Columbidae) neotropicales
(2019)Biomechanics, behavior, and natural history influence wing dimension and shape. Wing design often correlates with features of the habitat in which each species is found. Doves and pigeons (Columbidae family) range from ... -
Assemblages of corticolous myxomycetes associated with species of Pinus (Pinaceae) in four different regions of the world
(2020-07-02)Corticolous myxomycetes associated with four species of pine in different regions of the world were investigated. Samples of bark collected from 20 trees in each region were used to prepare 240 moist chamber cultures, ... -
Assemblages of myxomycetes associated with three different substrates affected by forest wildfires
(2021-03-23)Background and aims – In late November and early December of 2016, forest wildfires occurred over portions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (USA) and more than 4 000 ha were affected. Previous studies have shown ... -
Assessing the influence of biotic, abiotic, and social factors on the physiological stress of a large Neotropical primate in Atlantic Forest fragments
(2019)Wildlife physiological responses to environmental and human-related stressors provide useful clues on animal welfare. Non-invasive biomarkers, such as fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCM), allow researchers to assess ... -
Association between rainfall seasonality and the flowering of epiphytic plants in a Neotropical montane forest
(2017)The association between the reproductive phenology of epiphytic communities with environmental and ecological factors remains largely unexplored. Because epiphytes depend on environmental moisture, seasonal changes in ... -
Austinotheres angelicus (Lockington, 1877): the correct name for the symbiotic crab Juxtafabia muliniarum sensu Cabrera-Peña et al. (2001) (Crustacea, Brachyura, Pinnotheridae)

Bacteria contribute to plant secondary compound degradation in a generalist herbivore system.
(2020)Herbivores must overcome a variety of plant defenses, including coping with plant secondary compounds (PSCs). To help detoxify these defensive chemicals, several insect herbivores are known to harbor gut microbiota with ...
