A Short-Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

Influence of conspecifics and road noise on the properties of the advertisement call of Phyllodytes luteolus (Anura, Hylidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this work, we investigated the influence of motor vehicle noise on a highway in the municipality of Ilhéus on the acoustic parameters of the advertisement call of a species of anuran with bromeligenous habits. This was the first study to investigate this effect on a species that spends its entire life in bromeliads and to present data/values of its ...

Reproductive traits and floral visitors of Aechmea distichantha plants growing in different habitats of a South American xerophytic forest [PDF]

, 2018
Aechmea distichantha, a widely-distributed facultative epiphytic bromeliad species, is present from rainforests to xerophytic forests. At its southernmost distribution (Humid Chaco) it grows in the understory and forest edges.

Captive Breeding Reveals Insights Into the Ecology and Reproductive Biology of 11 Little-Known Malagasy Frog Species. [PDF]

Zoo Biol
Amphibian conservation efforts are limited by a lack of knowledge about their life history traits. At a conservation breeding facility in Andasibe, Madagascar, we observed diverse breeding patterns and egg numbers among 11 frog species, revealing links between reproductive strategies and environmental factors.

Light-responsive expression atlas reveals the effects of light quality and intensity in Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi, a plant with crassulacean acid metabolism. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundCrassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), a specialized mode of photosynthesis, enables plant adaptation to water-limited environments and improves photosynthetic efficiency via an inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism.
