Ichthyofauna sampled with tadpoles in northeastern Maranhão state, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2015
The Neotropic region has high fish diversity associated with freshwater habitats. However, for Maranhão state, most publications on the ichthyofauna concentrate on coastal or estuarine ecosystems. In this study, species of fish were sampled in lentic and

New species and records of Rhyssa and Rhyssella (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Rhyssinae) from Florida and Central America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Rhyssa neotropicae n. sp. is the first Rhyssa to be recorded from the New World tropics, where it was collected in cloud forest at 1800 m on Monte Uyuca near Zamorano, Honduras. It is closely related to the Nearctic R. hoferi Rohwer and R.

Clarifying nomenclatural uncertainties in Jupunba (Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Molecular phylogenetic studies have prompted substantial revisions in the systematics of the former genus Abarema, resulting in the reinstatement of the genera Punjuba and Jupunba, and a re‐circumscription of Abarema. Despite these advances, some taxa still require nomenclatural adjustments to reflect monophyletic lineages.

Do birds select habitat or food resources? Nearctic-neotropic migrants in northeastern Costa Rica. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Nearctic-neotropic migrant birds need to replenish energy reserves during stopover periods to successfully complete their semiannual movements. In this study we used linear models to examine the habitat use of 11 migrant species in northeastern Costa ...

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

Seven new species of the killifish genus Rivulus (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) from the Paraná, Paraguay and upperAraguaia river basins, central Brazil

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
Seven new species of the Rivulus punctatus group collected during recent field studies in central Brazil are described. Rivulus dapazi n. sp., from the upper rio Correntes drainage, rio Paraguay basin, is diagnosed by a unique color pattern of the anal ...

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Coevolving Symbiont-Harboring Insect Trypanosomatids, and Their Neotropical Dispersal by Invader African Blowflies (Calliphoridae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
This study is about the inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of trypanosomatids of the genus Angomonas, and their association with Calliphoridae (blowflies) in Neotropical and Afrotropical regions. Microscopic examination of 3,900 flies of various

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) from Ducke Reserve, Amazonas, Brazil

open access: yesSociobiology, 2017
Social wasps are common elements in Neotropics, although even elementary data about this taxon in the Amazon region is partially unknown. Therefore the purpose of this work was to increase the knowledge of social wasp fauna at the Ducke Reserve.
