Abstract Segregation of daily activity patterns is considered an important mechanism facilitating the coexistance of competing species. Here, we evaluated if temporal separation existed among jaguar (Panthera onca), puma (Puma concolor) and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and if their activity patterns were ...
Resumen El matorral espinoso tamaulipeco es un tipo de vegetación arbustiva endémica del noreste de México y el Sur de Texas en E.U. En el estudio se evaluó la estructura del matorral espinoso tamaulipeco, estableciendo el área mínima con parcelas de 256 m2 mediante la determinación de la curva es...
Resumen Los sistemas agroforestales diversos concilian la producción de alimentos, la conservación de la biodiversidad y la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos como el secuestro de carbono atmosférico. Sin embargo, el papel de la riqueza florística sobre la producción de carbono en la biomasa de ...
Resumen Los páramos son ecosistemas andinos de alta montaña, que albergan una biota diversa y de alta endemicidad, producto de las condiciones ambientales extremas. Se utilizaron diferentes índices para definir prioridades de conservación en las áreas de páramo del departamento de Antioquia, Colomb...
Abstract Edaphic macrofauna must be better studied if we want to take advantage of their full potential for the restoration of tropical ecosystems. We investigated changes in edaphic macrofauna density and diversity along a secondary succession chronosequence in the Atlantic Forest. Our results show some...

Abstract The helminth fauna and metacommunity structure of eight sympatric sigmodontine rodents were investigated at the Serra dos Órgãos National Park, an Atlantic Forest reserve located in the State of Rio de Janeiro, southeast Brazil. Rodents of the species Abrawayaomys ruschii, Akodon montensis, B...
Abstract Between July 2014 and April 2015, we conducted weekly inventories of the circadian activity patterns of mammals in Passo Novo locality, municipality of Alegrete, southern Brazil. The vegetation is comprised by a grassy-woody steppe (grassland). We used two camera traps alternately located on one...
Abstract We analyzed floristic variations in fern's metacommunity at the local scale and their relationship with abiotic factors in an Atlantic Forest remnant of northeastern Brazil. Floristic and environmental variations were accessed on ten plots of 10 × 20 m. We performed cluster analyses, based on B...
Abstract Mammals captured in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (PARNASO) and the Pedra Branca State Park (PBSP) between 2012 and 2015 were examined for the presence of ticks. In total, 140 mammals were examined, and 34 specimens were found to be parasitized by ticks. Didelphis aurita, Akodon montensi...
El objetivo fue conocer las plantas utilizadas en la medicina tradicional de cuatro comunidades de la Selva Zoque, Chiapas, México. En cada comunidad, se aplicaron 30 entrevistas semiestructuras. El listado florístico medicinal estuvo conformado por 113 especies, 96 géneros y 50 familias. Asteracea...
