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
(2009-02-16)
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 ...
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 ...
Labahitha nom.n., a replacement name for Mystes Bristowe, 1938, with a redescription of the type species (Aranei: Filistatidae)Labahitha nom.n., çàìåùàþùåå íàçâàíèå äëÿ Mystes Bristowe, 1938, ñ ïåðåîïèñàíèåì òèïîâîãî âèäà (Aranei: Filistatidae)
(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 ...
Reproductive strategy of Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Brazil
(2004-07-26)
The termite Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Rhinotermitidae) is an exotic species in Brazil. This species forms colonies headed by primary reproductives, however, non-functional neotenics are commonly found even in the ...
The Evolution of the Cenozoic Terrestrial Mammalian Predator Guild in South America: Competition or Replacement?
(Springer, 2013-01)
South America was isolated from other continents during most of the Cenozoic, developing a very particular mammalian fauna. In contrast to North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and even Australia, the carnivore adaptative ...
Compositional uniqueness of diatoms and insects in subtropical streams is weakly correlated with riffle position and environmental uniqueness
(2019-10-01)
Some local communities contribute more to beta diversity than others, which has been known as compositional uniqueness or local contribution to beta diversity. Compositional uniqueness should correlate positively with ...
Nutrient addition shifts plant community composition towards earlier flowering species in some prairie ecoregions in the U.S. Central Plains
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05)
The distribution of flowering across the growing season is governed by each species' evolutionary history and climatic variability. However, global change factors, such as eutrophication and invasion, can alter plant ...
Tooth eruption sequence and replacement pattern in woolly opossums, genus Caluromys (Didelphimorphia : Didelphidae)

Neotenic formation in laboratory colonies of the termite Coptotermes gestroi after orphaning
(Univ Arizona, 2004-01-01)
The termite Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann 1896) ( Rhinotermitidae: Coptotermitinae) is an exotic species in Brazil and information concerning its reproductive developmental biology is scarce. We induced the formation of ...
