Global impacts of agricultural and timber plantations on dung beetle biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.In vulnerable areas, protecting natural forests can help to reduce biodiversity loss. When economic and social contexts, such as in the Neotropical and Oriental regions, hinder conservation strategies, establishing small‐scale plantations of native, structurally diverse species connected to remaining forests may enhance dung beetle diversity, likely ...

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 321-328, April 2026.We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.This study introduces a liquid‐based sampling approach for airborne eDNA (A). Using a greenhouse mock‐community for optimization (B), we use the novel approach in the tropical Andes to demonstrate its versatility and the complementary nature of airborne and aquatic eDNA for molecular biodiversity assessments (C).

ANFIBIOS Y PARADOJAS: PERSPECTIVAS SOBRE LA DIVERSIDAD Y LAS POBLACIONES DE ANFIBIOS
Ecología Aplicada, 2016 La perdida de diversidad biologica es un hecho finalmente reconocido y establecido, tanto a nivel de la comunidad cientifica como del publico en general (Santini & Angulo, 2001). Esta perdida se viene dando a todo nivel taxonomico, y mayormente por causales tales como cambios climaticos, disminucion y fragmentacion de habitats y contaminacion del medio

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.Despite taxonomic and spatial biases, substantial conservation evidence is available to support decision‐making by practitioners, particularly for the most prevalent and severe threats. Given the current biodiversity crisis, it is critical that this information is more widely used and that coordination among academic and practitioner partners is ...

Aprendizaje en anfibios, el eslabón perdido: un modelo simple cerebral en el estudio de conductas complejas [PDF]
, 2013 El cerebro de los grupos filogenéticamente más antiguos, como peces y anfibios, no presenta neocorteza cerebral, teniendo una organización más simple que la observada en los mamíferos.
