Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Anurans employ a wide variety of anti-predator mechanisms to defend themselves. In casque-headed hylids, defence is thought to be a complex combination of several anti-predator mechanisms. However, the defence traits of only a few species are known; some

Arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and disturbed seasonal tropical forest [PDF]
, 2003 We investigated the relationship between arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and landscape transformation in tropical forests of southeastern Campeche, Mexico. We surveyed frogs in six distinct habitats: slash and burn agriculture, seasonally flooded forest (

EDIS, 2019 Bromeliads are members of the pineapple family Bromeliaceae. They are perennial herbs that lack woody stems and typically grow on other plants or substrates. Bromeliads are not mosses as some of their common names suggest. They are flowering plants, although their blossoms can be very small.

Testing for Differences in Consumer-Based Nutrient Cycling Between Male and Female Wolf Spiders (<i>Hogna carolinensis</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe tested whether male and female wolf spiders (Hogna carolinensis) differ in how they regulate and excrete micronutrients. Our ecological experiment revealed significant differences in whole‐body and excreta elemental composition between sexes, providing new insight into how predator physiology shapes predator‐mediated nutrient cycles.

Aquatic invertebrate communities in tank bromeliads: how well do classic ecological patterns apply? [PDF]
, 2014 Tank bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) often occur in high densities in the Neotropics and represent a key freshwater habitat in montane forests, housing quite complex invertebrate communities.
