The Andean Biotic Index (ABI): revised tolerance to pollution values for macroinvertebrate families and index performance evaluation
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014)
Going underwater: Multiple origins and functional morphology of piercing-sucking feeding and tracheal system adaptations in water scavenger beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea)
(Oxford University Press, 2021-09)
Larvae of water scavenger beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea) are adapted to a wide variety of aquatic habitats, butlittle is known about functional and evolutionary aspects of these adaptations. We review the functional ...
Comparison of two sampling methods for biomonitoring using aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Dos Novillos River, Costa Rica
(2008)
Benthic macroinvertebrates are the most commonly suggested group of organisms for freshwater biomonitoring and have been extensively studied in temperate areas. On the other hand, the methodology and theoretical background ...
Scanning electron microscopy of Antarctophthirus microchir (Phthiraptera: Anoplura: Echinophthiriidae): Studying morphological adaptations to aquatic life
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-09)
The members of the Family Echinophthiriidae (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) are unique among insects because they infest hosts with an amphibious lifestyle. During their evolution they developed morphological traits that are ...
Was Mesosaurus an aquatic animal? How do we know If an ancient species was aquatic or terrestrial?
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Mesosaurs are lizard-like reptiles that lived at the beginning of the Permian Period (280–290 million years ago) or even earlier. Mesosaurs are known from thousands of skeletons recovered in Uruguay, Brazil, and Southern ...
Formation of indigoidine derived-pigments contributes to the adaptation of Vogesella sp. strain EB to cold aquatic iron-oxidizing environments
(Springer, 2017-03-03)
We investigated previously under explored cold aquatic environments of Andean Patagonia, Argentina. Oily sheens similar to an oil spill are frequently observed at the surface of water in creeks and small ponds in these ...
Adaptive genetic variation mediates bottom-up and top-down control in an aquatic ecosystem
(The Royal Society, 2015-08)
Research in eco-evolutionary dynamics and community genetics has demon- strated that variation within a species can have strong impacts on associated communities and ecosystem processes. Yet, these studies have centred ...
Coadaptation: lessons from the brine shrimp Artemia, "the aquatic Drosophila" (Crustacea; Anostraca)
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2001)
