Inferences on Frog Responses to Forest Cover Depend on Sampling Method and Reproductive Mode

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sampling choices can bias assessments of biodiversity responses to habitat loss, compromising conservation strategies in vulnerable ecosystems such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the efficiency of three frog sampling methods (active search, plot sampling, and pitfall traps) across Atlantic Forest remnants to estimate species ...

O ensino de Zoologia evolutiva na educação básica : uma experiência desenvolvida nos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental [PDF]

, 2013
A Zoologia ensinada desde as séries iniciais distancia-se das atuais propostas para um ensino evolutivo. As visões utilitaristas e antropocêntricas sobre os animais são prevalentes e dificultam a formação de conceitos e a aprendizagem sobre Evolução em ...

A new genus, Similihypoxys gen. nov., to Edessinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A new genus for Edessinae close to Hypoxys is described. Similihypoxys gen. nov. Cunha & Fernandes is proposed for five new species, and one transferred from the genus Hypoxys: Similihypoxys infulatus (Breddin, 1904) comb. nov. (type species), S. connatus sp. nov., S. guianensis sp. nov., S. ineffigiatus sp. nov., S. quasinfulatus sp. nov. and

Taxonomic notes on Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) lemuroides d’Orbigny, 1898 and O. (P.) fortigibber Reitter, 1909 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Onthophagini) [PDF]

, 2012
The taxonomic position of Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) lemuroides d’Orbigny, 1898 and Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) fortigibber Reitter, 1909 is discussed (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Onthophagini). A key to the species is given.

Systematics of the New World Rostrate Genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984 (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae): Morphological Evidence for Monophyly Supporting a Broader Generic Concept

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A morphology‐based MP analysis is undertaken to test the monophyly of the lined flat bark beetle genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984, as well as to hypothesize its intra‐ and intergeneric evolutionary relationships. Based on the results of the present work, Metaxyphloeus, as currently composed, is hypothesized as a monophyletic assemblage of ...

Into the Darkness: Unveiling Unexpected Records of the Nonnative Millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni Silvestri, 1910 (Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae) in Brazilian Caves

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study expands the known distribution of the nonnative millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni in Brazil and reports its presence in cave environments for the first time in the country. Based on recently collected material and historical records, the species is shown to maintain stable populations in subterranean systems in the states of ...

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 830-842, May 2026.
This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.
