Drivers of Insect Diversity and Community Turnover in Protected Tropical Deciduous Forests of Mexico

Environmental DNA
Tropical deciduous forests (TDFs) are among the world's most biodiverse yet endangered ecosystems. In the Neotropics, TDFs have experienced substantial range reductions due to land use changes, with profound implications for their insect diversity, much ...

Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

DNA Barcoding of the parasitoid wasp subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Chamela, Mexico [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2015
Background and aims. The Doryctinae is a considerably diverse, poorly studied group of parasitoid wasps and one of the most diverse subfamilies within Braconidae. Taxonomic knowledge of this group remains highly incomplete, specially in the tropics.

Jaguar Density at the Northeastern Limit of Its Distribution in Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the first estimate of jaguar density in northeastern Mexico using a spatial capture–recapture model with random thinning, which incorporates both identified and unidentified camera trap detections. Conducted over 91 days with 104 cameras, the model yielded a density of 1.29 individuals per 100 km2 in the El Cielo–Sierra de Tamalave ...

Leaf Length Predicts Twig Xylem Vessel Diameter Across Angiosperms. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT As plants grow taller, increasing conductive pathlength imposes hydraulic resistance, challenging the maintenance of water transport to leaves. While tip‐to‐base conduit widening along the stem helps mitigate this resistance, theoretical models and empirical data suggest that stem widening alone is insufficient to fully compensate.

Comparative Community Ecology Reveals Conserved Ectoparasite Microbiomes Amidst Variable Host and Environment Microbiomes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our results indicate that ectoparasite microbiomes are highly conserved and specific. In contrast, we found high geographic variation in host and environmental microbiomes, suggesting that there may be a constraint on blood‐feeding insect ectoparasites to maintain a specific microbiome.

Beyond ‘desirable’ values: Expanding relational values research to reflect the diversity of human–nature relationships

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1774-1785, December 2023., 2023
Abstract In recent years, environmental values have become increasingly important for understanding human–environment relationships and transitions towards sustainability. Pluralistic valuation seeks to account for values associated with the diversity of human–nature relationships.

Sexual systems in the New Zealand angiosperm flora

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 201-231, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT We present data on sexual systems and associated traits in the New Zealand angiosperm flora and discuss reasons for the anomalously high levels of gender dimorphism in the flora, and the low levels of monoecy in woody species. Along with Hawai'i and New Caledonia, New Zealand has exceptionally high levels of gender dimorphism (19.5% of ...
