Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana). [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Revision of the Aechmea multiflora complex (Bromeliaceae) [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003
A taxonomic revision of the Aechmea multiflora complex (Bromeliaceae) is presented. The complex currently com- prises four species belonging to the subgenus Chevaliera. In this study, we document morphological variation in her- barium and living plants in order to improve the delimitation of species in the genus Aechmea.

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 ...

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.

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.
