Taxonomy of Phanaeus revisited: revised keys to and comments on species of the New World dung beetle genus PhanaeusMacLeay, 1819 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Phanaeini) [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to reassess the taxonomy of Phanaeus MacLeay (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) to accommodate new taxa and changes in taxonomic opinion since the publication of Edmonds’ 1994 revision of the genus.

Changes in density, diversity, and biomass with elevation differ between centipedes and spiders. Compared to centipedes, spiders are more strongly affected by environmental changes. Climatic variables act as the main drivers of centipede and spider density, diversity, and biomass, with local habitat–related factors being of secondary importance ...

Diversity Loss and Homogenization in Snake Communities in a Deforestation Hotspot
ABSTRACT Aim Agricultural expansion into tropical forests causes massive biodiversity loss. However, existing knowledge about these losses is heavily biased towards rainforests, as well as towards birds and mammals. Focusing on the South American Chaco, a global hotspot of deforestation and defaunation, we assessed how agriculture‐driven deforestation ...

Changes in land cover drove the recent range expansion of a tropical farmland bird
Several bird species associated with agricultural landscapes in the Palearctic and in the Nearctic (i.e. farmland birds) have been experiencing severe population declines since the 1970s, mainly due to habitat loss driven by agricultural intensification.

Distinct Intra‐ and Interspecific Foraging Patterns of Stingless Bee Species as a Conservation Tool
In this study, we examined the foraging patterns of three rescued stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas using melissopalynology and plant–pollinator network analysis. We found distinct floral foraging patterns both within and among three stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas, suggesting niche partitioning at multiple levels.
