Evaluating multiple spatial scales to understand the distribution of anuran beta diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(2017-04-01)
We partitioned the total beta diversity in the species composition of anuran tadpoles to evaluate if species replacement and nestedness components are congruent at different spatial resolutions in the Brazilian Atlantic ...
Queen Replacement in Mischocyttarus (Monocyttarus) cassununga (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Mischocyttarini): a Particular Case
(California State University, 2009-01-01)
The development of colonies of primitively eusocial wasps depends on intrinsic and extrinsic factors, namely social organization and climatic conditions. The present study was conducted to investigate how the process of ...
How short-term variation influence the relative importance of environmental and spatial factors associated to anuran dissimilarity composition
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-graduação em Ecologia e Recursos NaturaisCâmpus São Carlos, 2018-08-10)
Understanding the processes that create the patterns of species composition and biodiversity variation across the space has been one of the main topics within the theory of metacommunities. However, most studies rely on ...
Litter Quality and Nutrient Cycling Affected by Grazing-Induced Species Replacements along a Precipitation Gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-10)
One of the potential mechanisms for the impact of herbivores on nutrient cycling is the effect of selective grazing on litter quality through changes in species composition. However, the scarce evidence collected on this ...

(KMK Scientific Press, 2017-12)
The monotypic genus Mystes Bristowe, 1938, and its type species, M. oonopiformis Bristowe, 1938, are redescribed based on the neotype male (designated here) and several females. The male is described for the first time and ...
