Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Araucanian Herring, <i>Strangomera bentincki</i>, Norman, 1936 (Teleostei: Clupeiformes: Clupeidae): Phylogenetic Analysis and Implications in Fishmeal Traceability. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Araucanian herring (Strangomera bentincki) is a pelagic fish whose main processed products are fishmeal and oil. The complete mitogenome is 16,758 bp, consisting of 13 coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and the control region. Phylogenetic analysis supported a monophyletic clade with Sprattus muelleri and Sprattus antipodum.

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.

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.
