Effects of Roscovitine and Serum Starvation on the Viability and G0/G1 Synchronization in Somatic Cells from the Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus, Linnaeus 1758)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of nuclear reprogramming techniques, including the G0/G1 synchronization of somatic cells, depends on species‐specific optimization. While roscovitine and serum starvation have been successfully applied in domestic and wild terrestrial mammals, their use in aquatic mammals remains poorly investigated.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Thysanoptera biodiversity in the Neotropics.

Revista de biologia tropical, 2002
It is suggested that descriptive taxonomy of thrips must be integrated into biological studies if we are to understand patterns of evolutionary and ecological diversity. Collecting and describing new taxa is easy, but understanding their position in ecosystems and how they have contributed to the origin and maintenance of biological diversity is more ...

Niche occupancy of Jamaican bat caves: Diversity increases isotopic niche packing

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Tropical bat caves are home to hundreds of thousands of bats of multiple species. In Jamaica, we found that isotopic niche packing is the likely mechanism of coexistence at more diverse sites. Abstract There are over 1000 documented caves across Jamaica, many of them used by diverse communities of bats.

Contribution to the knowledge of diurnal butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of the Uruki – El Manantial Community and Ecotourism Nature Reserve, Florencia (Colombia)

Actualidades Biológicas
In the Neotropics, butterfly diversity is threatened by the loss and transformation of natural habitats, mainly due to deforestation and the expansion of human activities. Diurnal butterflies, recognized as bioindicators of habitat quality, allow for the
