Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

In some Bromeliaceae species the leaf sheaths form a tank or phytotelma, accumulating water and organic detritus, conditions that allow the establishment of different communities. Thus, this study evaluated the relationship between diameter and volume of

Relative Importance of Resource and Condition Niche for Invertebrates in Water‐Filled Treeholes
ABSTRACT Water‐filled treeholes offer an ideal system to disentangle the roles of resource availability and abiotic conditions in community assembly. This study hypothesized that niches related to consumable resources and microhabitat conditions play distinct roles in shaping community structure, with niche differentiation being more strongly ...

The ancestor of today's pinapinao, Hawaiian Megalagrion damselflies, diverged from Ischnurinae around 51 MA and likely evolved for over 20 MA before colonizing the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. An ancestor of Megalagrion colonized the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and diversified into ecological niches with four new breeding habitats and two new gill ...

ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

For organisms living in closed environments, fecal pollution is a significant concern. Amphibian larvae excrete their wastes as ammonia. Anuran larvae usually live in ponds or streams that contain excess clean water; therefore, the excremental ammonia is

Arthropod diversity in phytotelmata of \u3ci\u3eCalathea capitata\u3c/i\u3e (Zingiberales; Marantaceae) host plants from Peru [PDF]
Cryptic habitats are often overlooked in biodiversity surveys. Phytotelmata, or plant pools, are one type of cryptic habitat that supports diverse fauna in a miniature ecosystem.
