The Glomeromycota in the Neotropics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF—Glomeromycota) are a group of soil fungi with a widespread occurrence in terrestrial ecosystems where they play important roles that influence plant growth and ecosystem processes. The aim of this paper is to reveal AMF distribution in the Neotropics based on an extensive biogeography database with literature data from

Network and parasitological analyses reveal latitudinal gradient in bats-ectoparasitic fly interactions across the Neotropic. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2023
Ecological interactions between parasites and their hosts play a fundamental role in evolutionary processes. Selection pressures are exerted on parasites and their hosts, usually resulting in high levels of specificity.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2020
AbstractMammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans.

Myrmecovory in Neotropical primates [PDF]

open access: yesPrimates, 2021
AbstractAnts are the dominant group of animals in many habitats, particularly in tropical rainforests. High abundance and formation of large colonies convert them into a potential food source for a broad spectrum of animals. In this paper we review myrmecovory (consumption of ants) in Neotropical primates.

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2019
AbstractXenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even ...
