Forest management intensity affects aquatic communities in artificial tree holes
(Public Library of Science, 2016-05)
Forest management could potentially affect organisms in all forest habitats. However, aquatic communities in water-filled tree-holes may be especially sensitive because of small population sizes, the risk of drought and ...
Configuration and geometry of sap holes drilled by the White-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes cactorum): effects of tree structure, sap traits and plant health
(Csiro Publishing, 2015)
Several species of woodpecker drill holes in living trees to feed on flows of sap. We describe sap-holes drilled by the White-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes cactorum) on plant species in semi-arid woodlands of northern ...
Tree holes as larval habitats for Aedes aegypti in public areas in Aguaray, Salta province, Argentina
(Wiley, 2011-06)
Natural water holding cavities such as tree holes where Aedes aegypti larvae may develop have been mostly overlooked in South America, in spite of dengue occurrence. The objective of this study was to determine if mosquitoes ...
Tree holes as larval habitats for Aedes aegypti in urban, suburban and forest habitats in a dengue affected area
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-09)
Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae), the main vector of dengue and urban yellow fever in the world, is highly adapted to the human environment. Artificial containers are the most common larval habitat for the species, ...
Persistence and loss of tree cavities used by birds in the subtropical Atlantic Forest
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01-15)
An important goal for the conservation of tropical forest biodiversity is to maintain adequate supplies of tree cavities to support diverse communities of cavity-nesting and roosting vertebrates over the long term, especially ...
Linking fungi, trees, and hole-using birds in a Neotropical tree-cavity network: Pathways of cavity production and implications for conservation
(Elsevier Science, 2012-01)
In tropical forests and savannahs worldwide, hundreds of species of cavity-nesting vertebrates depend, for nesting and roosting, on the limited resource of tree cavities. These cavities are produced by avian excavators and ...
Redescription of immatures of dasyhelea flavifrons Guérin-Méneville (Culicomorpha: Ceratopogonidae) and new contribution to the knowledge of its larval habitats
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2019-04-08)
The fourth instar larva and pupa of Dasyhelea flavifrons Guérin-Méneville are redescribed, illustrated, and photomicrographed using binocular, phase-contrast, and scanning electron microscopy. Comparisons with the American ...
Mosquito community structure in phytotelmata from a South American temperate wetland
(Society for Vector Ecology, 2011-12)
Phytotelmata, or plant-held waters, are considered to be good model systems for the study of community ecology. The fauna of these natural container habitats, particularly the mosquitoes, have been extensively investigated ...
Tree hole mosquito species composition and relative abundances differ between urban and adjacent forest habitats in northwestern Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-06)
Water holding tree holes are main larval habitats for many pathogen vectors, especially mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). Along three years, the diversity and composition of mosquito species in tree holes of two neighbouring ...
