Species of the genera Psyllobora (Coccinellidae) are mychophagists acting as important biological control agents of fungi in nature. In this work it was reported the occurrence of the lady beetle Psyllobora confluens ...

Fleshy hypogeous fungi produce scents that enable mycophagous mammals and invertebrates to locate them and disperse their spores. The European wild boar (Sus scrofa) was introduced in central Argentina in 1900s and later ...

Field studies in Argentina’s Yunga District revealed Alpova austroalnicola sp. nov., a hypogeous fungus associated with Alnus acuminata ssp. acuminata. Morphological and molecular studies based on amplification and ...

Extant marsupials are highly diverse, both morphologically and ecologically. As a key ecological factor, diet has been studied in marsupials at the species level. However, a general lack of phylogenetic integration has ...

Feeding events of unsual prey items are rarely recorded in the eld. Here we report diet resources for eleven Neotropical bird species. We include an observation of scavenging behavior for the Black Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus ...
