Escarabajos longicornios (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) de Colombia

Biota Colombiana, 2000
Los escarabajos longicornios de la familia Cerambycidae (Polyphaga: Chrysomeloidea) constituyen uno de los grupos más grandes de Coleoptera, con aproximadamente 35.000 especies en el mundo (Minelli 1993). En general, los cerambícidos se reconocen por sus

Tropical Land-Use Change Disrupts Zeta-Diversity Across Taxa. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.

Decay stages of Jurassic wood debris from Scotland: evidence for the coevolution of fungal rot, arthropods and the nurse log strategy. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for young tree species, leading to this type of seedbed being termed ‘nurse logs’.

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

Growth-defense trade-offs promote habitat isolation between recently-diverged species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Growth–defense trade‐offs have long been implicated in tropical plant diversity, but how do these tradeoffs contribute to reproductive isolation? This study characterizes growth–defense trade‐offs between two recently diverged tropical plants and explore their role in maintaining strong habitat isolation.
