Chemical Secretion Use Varies Among Species but Lacks a Straightforward Relationship With Other Defenses in Neotropical Opiliones

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We asked whether variation in the willingness of congeneric species to secrete chemical defenses is associated with high between‐species differences in body size, levels of leg loss (as a proxy for engagement in another defensive strategy), and participation in social roosting with conspecifics and congenerics.

Variations in the Temperature-Humidity Index and Dorsal Fat Thickness during the Last Trimester of Gestation and Early Postpartum Period Affect Fertility of Bos indicus Cows in the Tropics

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, 2018
In order to measure the influence of the temperature-humidity index (THI) and the variation of fat thickness on reproductive performance, ninety-two Bos indicus cows kept under grazing conditions were used in two farms in Veracruz (Mexico) and Puntarenas

Two New Species of Combretaceae from Puntarenas, Costa Rica

open access: yesNovon, 1995
Two new species of Combretaceae are described from Costa Rica. Combretum graciliflorum is related to C. cacoucia Exell and is only the second species of section Cacoucia (Aublet) Engler & Diels known in America. Buchenavia costaricensis is the second species of the genus from Central America and is evidently not closely related to the other (B ...

Phylogeny‐based generic delimitations of the diverse leafhopper tribe Gyponini, including the establishment of a new tribe of Iassinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
Phylogenetic relationships among 97.6% of Gyponini genera and 97.4% of subgenera were inferred using morphological and multilocus molecular data. Analyses support the monophyly of Gyponini, transfer Hoplojassini to Hylicinae and establish Chilenanini trib. nov. within Iassinae.

In situ observation of bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) aggregation, mainland Palau

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) is a globally distributed large‐bodied predator, primarily associated with deep‐sea environments. Due to the logistical constraints of its habitat, much remains unknown about the life history and behavior of H. griseus.

Varied motivations for secondary forest reclearing among landholders make forest persistence challenging

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1943-1956, June 2026.
Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.
