Abstract The Cofán communities rely on the Cofán Bermejo Ecological Reserve for their survival and cultural practices. Due to the rugged and inaccessible topography of the reserve in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon region, limited biomonitoring and ecological characterization studies of the ecosystem health have been conducted.

Exceptionally elongated antennae are common in male longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), but their function and evolution are poorly understood. Through scanning electron microscopy and antennal morphometrics of multiple Anoplistes species (Cerambycidae), our study revealed that elongate antennae are more likely adaptive for close‐range ...

In this study, we provide a detailed description of the embryonic development of Appasus japonicus, focusing on the formation of its specialized mouthparts. We identify homologies between the maxillary plate and maxillary palp and most parts of the stylet‐like mandibles and maxillae are housed within the labial palp.

Assessing Fish Community Structure and Diversity Across Environmental Gradients in a Tropical Bay
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between species distribution and the environment across spatial gradients is crucial for biodiversity evaluation. We surveyed fish populations in a tropical bay, covering a spatial gradient from the outer zone with favorable marine conditions to the inner zone affected by human activities.
