Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Stable isotope data indicate origins of mislabelled historical bird specimens
Natural history specimens provide valuable insights across diverse research fields, but those needing more accurate metadata have limited scientific value. We applied stable isotope analysis to investigate the origin of 19th century Atlantic Forest bird specimens attributed to the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco, which are the only records ...
