Range Extension of the Popeye Catalufa (Pristigenys serrula, Gilbert 1891) to Central Chile During the "El Niño" Southern Oscillation (ENSO) 2023-2024. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Phylogenetic and morphological analyses confirm P. serrula in central Chile (32° S). The geographical distribution of P. serrula in central Chile extends 9° southward. This extension is associated with the “El Niño” Southern Oscillation (ENSO). ABSTRACT We report the presence of Pristigenys serrula Gilbert 1891 off Zapallar (−32.568253, −71.464225 ...

Allometric Constraint Predominates Over the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis in a Radiation of Neotropical Treefrogs. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Male frogs emit calls to attract mates and deter conspecific rivals. The evolution of these calls is thought to be linked to anatomical constraints and the acoustic characteristics of their surroundings. We tested these two factors in a radiation of 112 species of Neotropical treefrogs and found that body size and calling site affect peak frequency but

Fungi and Myxomycetes of the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives. [PDF]

IUBMB Life
ABSTRACT The Tehuacán‐Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, spanning approximately 10,000 km2, is crucial for conserving arid and semi‐arid ecosystems, as it hosts unique endemic species and complex ecological interactions. Despite their environmental significance, fungi and myxomycetes in this region have been understudied, particularly those adapted

Notes on the distribution, morphological variation, and mechanoreceptors of Tretanorhinus nigroluteus (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) in Colombia

Biota Colombiana, 2022
Aquatic species are among the least studied groups of snakes in Colombia. This is mainly due to their ecology, which makes some species difficult to survey, resulting mostly in fortuitous encounters.

Primates en las colecciones biológicas del departamento de Antioquia: estado y potencial de investigación

Actualidades Biológicas, 2020
En Colombia se reconoce la existencia de 38 especies de primates, de las cuales 13 se distribuyen en Antioquia. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las investigaciones se enfocan en aspectos ecológicos mientras que son escasos los estudios sobre distribución y ...

The role of biogeographical barriers on the historical dynamics of passerine birds with a circum-Amazonian distribution. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study found similarities at populational, phylogenetic, and evolutionary levels among four taxonomic groups of passerine birds with a circum‐Amazonian distribution. The presence of Refugia result of climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene was the main drive in the diversification of these circum‐Amazonian taxa.

A roadmap for ladybird conservation and recovery

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) provide services that are critical to food production, and they fulfill an ecological role as a food source for predators. The richness, abundance, and distribution of ladybirds, however, are compromised by many anthropogenic threats.

Structure and evolution of the sexually dimorphic integumentary swelling on the hands of dendrobatid poison frogs and their relatives (Amphibia: Anura: Dendrobatoidea)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 240, Issue 3, Page 447-465, March 2022., 2022
The hands of adult males of many dendrobatid poison frogs and their relatives possess one or two of four types of specialized mucous glands that presumably secrete pheromones delivered to females during cephalic amplexus. The discovery of these glands adds a new dimension to studies of poison frog reproductive biology, which have investigated acoustic,

Helminth parasites of some rodents (Cricetidae, Heteromyidae, and Sciuridae) from Zacatecas, Mexico

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016
Eighty-six specimens representing 7 species of rodents from 9 localities in the state Zacatecas were examined for helminths. Only 5 host species were found to harbor at least 1 species: Chaetodipus sp., Dipodomys merriami atronasus, Neotoma mexicana ...
