Reproductive traits and floral visitors of Aechmea distichantha plants growing in different habitats of a South American xerophytic forest [PDF]
Aechmea distichantha, a widely-distributed facultative epiphytic bromeliad species, is present from rainforests to xerophytic forests. At its southernmost distribution (Humid Chaco) it grows in the understory and forest edges.

A new genus of Psychodinae (Diptera, Psychodidae) from phytotelmata in a Honduran cloud forest [PDF]
Larvae of a new species of Psychodinae, Moruseodina cusucoensis gen. et sp. nov., were collected during a biodiversity survey of aquatic invertebrates in plant held water bodies (phytotelmata) in Cusuco National Park, Honduras. The fourth instar larva, pupa and adult male are described based on reared material. The new species was difficult to place in

Extraordinary morphological changes in valve morphology during the ontogeny of several species of the Australian ostracod genus Bennelongia (Crustacea, Ostracoda) [PDF]
Ostracods belonging to the genus Bennelongia differ much in valve morphology between adults and juveniles. Adult valves are asymmetrical, characterised by a beak-like feature in the anteroventral region of the left valve, and, with some notable ...

Adult poison dart frogs avoid potential heterospecific competitors using their sense of smell
Little is known about the use of chemical senses in frogs. Using a two‐choice testing arena, we tested the reaction of adult poison dart frogs to different odours. We show first evidence of the avoidance of heterospecific odours and conclude that olfaction in these frogs plays a more prominent role than previously believed.
