Looking for a place: How are tadpoles distributed within tropical ponds and streams?
(2018-05-09)
Microhabitat use by tadpoles has been little documented, especially for neotropical anuran species. Here we describe microhabitat use by tadpoles in two different aquatic systems, lentic and lotic, in the Atlantic Rainforest. ...
Habitat degradation may affect niche segregation patterns in lizards
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2013-06)
Lizards partition resources in three main niche dimensions: time, space and food. Activity time and microhabitat use are strongly influenced by thermal environment, and may differ between species according to thermal ...
How does spatial micro-environmental heterogeneity influence seedling recruitment in ironstone outcrops?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-03-01)
Questions Environmental filters limit the set of potentially coexisting species in plant communities. Paradoxically, some of the world's most biodiverse communities are subjected to strong abiotic filters. We explored how ...
Mating behavior in two sympatric species of andean tiger beetles (Cicindelidae).
(2011-10-06)
The tiger beetle genus Pseudoxycheila (Cicindelidae) currently contains 21 species, distributed in mid and high elevations in the Andes from Bolivia to Venezuela and in mountains in Panama and Costa Rica. The center of ...
SEASONAL MICROHABITAT SELECTION BY TERRESTRIAL RODENTS IN AN OLD-GROWTH ATLANTIC FOREST
(ALLIANCE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP DIVISION ALLEN PRESS, 2009)
We tested the hypothesis that microhabitat variables, abundance of terrestrial rodents, and microhabitat selection patterns of terrestrial rodents vary between the cool-dry and warm-wet season in the Atlantic forest of ...
Microhabitat utilization by two leptodactylid frogs in the Andes of central Chile
(Springer-Verlag, 1985)
Some basic parameters of the life history of Alsodes montanus and Alsodes tumultuosus (Anura-Leptodactylidae), were studied from 1977 to 1980 by periodic field observations at Farellones and La Parva (33-34° south lat.; ...
Phylogeny and micro-habitats utilized by lizards determine the composition of their endoparasites in the semiarid Caatinga of Northeast Brazil
(Springer, 2014-11-01)
Trophic networks can have architectonic configurations influenced by historical and ecological factors. The objective of this study was to analyze the architecture of networks between lizards, their endoparasites, diet, ...
Does microhabitat segregation explain coexistence of globose cactus species?
(Cactus and Succulent Society of America, 2022-02)
The factors determining cactus species richness and distribution at broad scales are well understood; however, the mechanisms explaining these parameters at local scales are poorly known, particularly in mesic regions. The ...
Trophic and microhabitat niche overlap in two sympatric dendrobatids from La Selva, Costa Rica
(Asociación Herpetológica Argentina, 2010-12)
We studied the trophic ecology of Dendrobates auratus and Oophagapumilio in La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. At this site, both dendrobatids are sympatricdue to the introduction and naturalization of D. auratus ...
