Biodiversidade do Pantanal : resposta ao regime sazonal de enchente e à degradação ambiental [PDF]

, 2008
Inundação sazonal é o fenômeno ecológico mais importante do Pantanal. A cada ano, grandes regiões do bioma mudam de hábitats aquáticos para terrestres e vice-versa. As cheias ocupam cerca de 80% do Pantanal. Em contraste, durante a estiagem, grande parte

Suitability of DNA extracted from archival specimens of fruit-eating bats of the genus Artibeus (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) for polymerase chain reaction and sequencing analysis

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
To establish a technique which minimized the effects of fixation on the extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed tissues preserved in scientific collections we extracted DNA samples from fixed tissues using different methods and evaluated the effect of the ...

Competitor Richness Outweighs Climate and Land Cover in Explaining Abundance Variation of a Neotropical Fruit Bat

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding which processes regulate spatial variation in species abundance across their ranges is key in ecology. Species abundances may be affected by several factors, such as climate, elevation, land cover, species interactions and habitat protection status. However, few studies have focused on these effects synergistically across species

DNA Methylation, Epigenetics, and Evolution in Vertebrates: Facts and Challenges

International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
DNA methylation is a key epigenetic modification in the vertebrate genomes known to be involved in biological processes such as regulation of gene expression, DNA structure and control of transposable elements. Despite increasing knowledge about DNA methylation, we still lack a complete understanding of its specific functions and correlation with ...

Review of the Bat Flies of Honduras, Central America (Diptera: Streblidae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Streblid bat flies are obligate and host‐specific blood‐feeding ectoparasites of bats. While the bat flies of some American countries are well studied (e.g., Panama, Venezuela), little is known about Honduran Streblidae. Accumulation of substantial numbers of specimens, from several different collections, has enabled a relatively thorough treatment of ...
