A central issue in ecology is the understanding of the establishment of biotic interactions. We studied the factors that affect the assembly of the commensalistic interactions between vascular epiphytes and their host ...

Five new species belonging to the poorly known Neotropical doryctine parasitoid wasps genera Heerz Marsh (H. ecmahla sp. n. and H. macrophthalma sp. n.), Lissopsius Marsh (L. pacificus sp. n. and L. jalisciensis sp. n.) ...

The connectivity of natural habitats within and outside natural protected areas is essential to maintain wildlife populations and allow gene flow, especially in the case of species with a limited dispersal capacity. Small ...

Background and aims. The preliminary results of a DNA barcoding study of the doryctine fauna of parasitoid wasps from the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, a region dominated by tropical dry forest, are presented. ...

Modified landscapes, as a consequence of habitat loss and fragmentation impose different levels of resistance, which can impede or promote the movement of individuals. The degree to which the landscape facilitates or ...
