Unraveling the drivers of community dissimilarity and species extinction in fragmented landscapes
(ECOLOGICAL SOC AMERWASHINGTON, 2012)
Communities in fragmented landscapes are often assumed to be structured by species extinction due to habitat loss, which has led to extensive use of the species-area relationship (SAR) in fragmentation studies. However, ...
Species-specific influences of shrubs on the non-dormant soil seed bank of native and exotic plant species in central-northern Monte Desert
(Wiley, 2012-03)
Deserts shrubs are well known to facilitate vegetation aggregation, mostly through seed trapping, and stress amelioration during and after plant establishment. Because vegetation aggregation effects are a by-product of ...
Joint species movement modeling: how do traits influence movements?
(2019-04-01)
Joint species distribution modeling has enabled researchers to move from species-level to community-level analyses, leading to statistically more efficient and ecologically more informative use of data. Here, we propose ...
Association of two new Coryphasia species (Araneae, Salticidae) with tank-bromeliads in southeastern Brazil: Habitats and patterns of host plant use
(Amer Arachnological Soc, 2007-01-01)
Two allopatric species of Coryphasia (Araneae: Salticidae), both described for the first time in this study, have been found associated with Bromeliaceae in distinct phytophysiognomies (e.g., inselbergs, highland forests ...
A Streamlined DNA Tool for Global Identification of Heavily Exploited Coastal Shark Species (Genus Rhizoprionodon)
(Public Library Science, 2012-04-09)
Obtaining accurate species-specific landings data is an essential step toward achieving sustainable shark fisheries. Globally distributed sharpnose sharks (genus Rhizoprionodon) exhibit life-history characteristics (rapid ...
Morphological and histological characters of penile organization in eleven species of molossid bats
(2018-04-01)
The penis is the reproductive organ that ensures efficient copulation and success of internal fertilization in all species of mammals, with special challenges for bats, where copulation can occur during flight. Comparative ...
Occurrence of killer yeasts in leaf-cutting ant nests
(2002-12-01)
Killer activity was screened in 99 yeast strains isolated from the nests of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens against 6 standard sensitive strains, as well as against each other. Among this yeast community killer activity ...
