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.

Understanding phylogenetic incongruence: lessons from phyllostomid bats
Biological Reviews, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 991-1024, November 2012., 2012 All characters and trait systems in an organism share a common evolutionary history that can be estimated using phylogenetic methods. However, differential rates of change and the evolutionary mechanisms driving those rates result in pervasive phylogenetic conflict.

Caatinga Revisited: Ecology and Conservation of an Important Seasonal Dry Forest
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Besides its extreme climate conditions, the Caatinga (a type of tropical seasonal forest) hosts an impressive faunal and floristic biodiversity. In the last 50 years there has been a considerable increase in the number of studies in the area. Here we aimed to present a review of these studies, focusing on four main fields: vertebrate ecology, plant ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Human disturbances have reduced the three basic niche dimensions for the survival of some mammalian species (space, time, and resources). Anthropic activities cause the extinction of ecological functionalities faster than species extinctions. In this study, we identified four types of habitats in the Ecuadorian Andean Chocó: primary forest (PF ...
