Two helminth‐rodent networks were analyzed for two distinct areas. Network modularity, nestedness, and degree of specialization were calculated for each network. Higher network modularity than nestedness and high network specialization were observed in both networks, suggesting functional and/or taxonomic specialization between helminth species and ...

Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Bromelicolous Habit and Phoresy of Ostracoda in a Species of Treefrog From the Brazilian Cerrado
ABSTRACT Some plants develop phytotelmata, specialized structures that retain water and form small aquatic ecosystems harbouring diverse organisms. Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) are classic examples, as their leaf axils provide suitable habitats for bacteria, algae, protozoa, invertebrates and vertebrates, including anurans.

This research approaches the interaction between frugivorous fish and the flooded forests in the central Amazon. We evaluated the fruit consumption by fish and the seed dispersal potential along the flood gradient. We tested the hypothesis that the role of fish as seed dispersers varies between low várzea (LV) and high várzea (HV) forests.

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

VPS13 has an important role in female germline development in Arabidopsis
SUMMARY The female germline precursor cell, known as the megaspore mother cell (MMC), differentiates and develops within the ovule through a complex genetic network, including post‐transcriptional and translational regulation mediated by miRNA. A key player in restricting MMC development to a single cell within the nucellus is the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR
