The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Protein and alkaloid patterns of the floral nectar in some solanaceous species [PDF]

, 2015
The family Solanaceae includes several melliferous plants, which tend to produce copious amounts of nectar. Floral nectar is a chemically complex aqueous solution, dominated by sugars, but minor components such as amino acids, proteins, flavonoids and ...

The Large Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa, Apidae) of the Neotropical Region: Phylogenetics, Classification and Biogeography

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 884-896, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The large carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa comprise almost 400 species distributed worldwide. Their large body and ability to build nests through woodworking make them one of the most remarkable groups of bees. In the Neotropics, they comprise over 100 species occurring in tropical and subtropical environments including islands in the ...

Combining Distribution Models of Plants and Their Mutualists to Map Gaps in the Knowledge of Ecological Interactions

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The distribution of species relying on mutualistic partners for reproduction can be constrained by their partners' distribution. Nonetheless, biotic interactions are often overlooked when estimating the distributions of species (e.g., pollinators of a given plant and the proportion of them with their distribution modelled). In the Tropics,

Kinematics of hovering hummingbird flight along simulated and natural elevational gradients [PDF]

, 2003
Hovering flight is one of the most energetically demanding forms of animal locomotion. Despite the cost, hummingbirds regularly hover at high elevations, where flight is doubly challenging because of reduced air density and oxygen availability.

Preliminary study of insect attraction by a mixture of semiochemicals containing 1,2,4-Trimethoxybenzene in domestic citric-culture

Química Nova, 2010
In this work we describe a new efficient strategy for the preparation of 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene (3) in 56% overall yield. The compound 3 was used in a preliminary study of insect attraction by a mixture of semiochemicals called TIV, composed of indol (1)

Pheromone Analyses of the Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) Cryptic Species Complex [PDF]

, 2018
The South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex is presently one of the most studied pest models in terms of speciation and population mating compatibility.
