The Miridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) are one of the most species rich families of insects, with about 11 100 described species. Mirinae is the largest subfamily and its endemism becomes evident at the tribal level and be...

The distribution of the recent Lymnaeidae across continents and zoogeo-graphical regions of the world is reviewed, with a brief characteristic of the geo-graphical distribution of each extant lymnaeid genus. The quantita...

Species of Pleurobranchus (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudipleura: Pleurobranchidae) are commonly found worldwide, but there is a substantial amount of confusion regarding the ranges and identification of indiv...

Recent studies have described widespread statigraphic units of Late Pleistocene and Holocene age in the western part of the Amazon Basin. The recognition of deltaic sedimentation in the uppermost these units near Rio Bra...

Abstract The family Anisakidae includes parasite genera that are important for public health due to their zoonotic potential. Among these, the genus Anisakis contains some of the most prevalent parasites found in fish th...

Abstract In Brazil there are several records of parasitic nematodes of fish with zoonotic potential, especially those belonging to the family Anisakidae. This study considers the morphology, morphometry and prevalence o...

In recent years, the evolutionary history of the catfish genus Hypostomus has attracted much interest. However, the identification of species of this genus is challenging, given the complex taxonomy of the group and the ...

ABSTRACT Soil, topography, and climate have been identified as strong drivers of functional composition turnover of plant communities, setting the dominant (“optimal”) community weighted mean (CWM) trait values. Thes...

Biogeographic studies have generally relied on methods that use a few, large predefined areas, which may overlook fine-scale patterns. Here we test previous hypotheses about the biogeographic history of a diverse bat c...

The presence of three Gomphoneis species from Chubut Province in Argentina is documented with light and scanning electron microscopy. Two of the taxa, G. patagoniana and G. eriense var. variabilis, are part of the Hercul...

The trigoniid group "Pseudo-Quadratae" was introduced for Cretaceous descendents of Myophorellidae with a convergent resemblance to Tethyan Quadratotrigoniinae (= Quadratae). Subsequently it was made the basis of the sub...

To analyse speciation within the large Neotropical genus Campsurus Eaton, we examined apparent subgroupings by morphological methods using discrete and continuous character states. In this report, the albifilum group is ...

Biogeography was stuck in a "natural history phase" dominated by the collection of data, the young Princeton biologists Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson argued in 1967. In this book, the authors developed a gener...

For centuries, biologists have studied patterns of plant and animal diversity at continental scales. Until recently, similar studies were impossible for microorganisms, arguably the most diverse and abundant group of org...
