Roosting ecology and morphometric analysis of Pteropus medius (Indian flying fox) in Lower Dir, district, Pakistan
Braz. j. biol; 81 (1), 2021
Abstract The present study was conducted to explore morphometric variations of Pteropus medius (the Indian flying fox) and the roosting trees in Lower Dir, Pakistan. The bats were captured from Morus alba, Morus nigra, Brousonetia papyrifera, Pinus raxburghii, Hevea brasiliensis, Platanus orientalis, Pop...
Morphology and ectoparasite spectrum of Pteropus vampyrus (the flying fox) in different parts of Malakand Division, Pakistan
Braz. j. biol; 80 (3), 2020
Abstract Three districts viz. Lower Dir, Swat and Shangla in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, were surveyed for the collection of Pteropus vampyrus (the Indian flying fox) in Malakand division, the north western region of Pakistan from February to November 2018. A total of 35 specimens were captured. Out of ...
Fluctuating asymmetry and exposure to pyrethroid insecticides in Triatoma infestans populations in northeastern Argentina
Infect. gent. evol; 74 (), 2019
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a phenotypic marker used as indicator of developmental stress or instability, is sometimes associated with insecticide application and resistance. Here we investigated the occurrence and amount of wing size and wing shape FA in Triatoma infestans females and males collected be...
Reports of new wing color polymorphism and taxonomic information to cercopids (Auchenorrhyncha: Cercopidae) from upland rice crop, Pará State, Brazil
Braz. j. biol; 78 (4), 2018
Abstract Cercopidae is one of the largest families of the spittlebug superfamily Cercopoidea. Most spittlebugs species are characterized by bright color patterns. Thus, this study evaluated for the first time the Cercopidae species collected in rice crops, Novo Progresso, Pará state, Brazil. Insects wer...
Population dynamics of Aphis gossypii Glover and in sole and intercropping systems of cotton and cowpea
An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Population dynamics of aphids have been studied in sole and intercropping systems. These studies have required the use of more precise analytical tools in order to better understand patterns in quantitative data. Mathematical models are among the most important tools to explain the dynamics of i...
Análise da estrutura populacional de mosquitos Culex quinquefasciatus e Culex nigripalpus (Diptera: Culicidae) utilizando marcadores de microssatélites e análise de morfometria geométrica alar
Introdução: Parques inseridos na malha urbana de grandes metrópoles possuem potencial para manter o ciclo biológico de diversas espécies vetoras de patógenos, como as espécies Culex quinquefasciatus e Culex nigripalpus. Consideradas antropofílicas, essas espécies têm importância epidemiológic...
Análise da estrutura populacional de mosquitos Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) em diferentes estratos urbanos na cidade de São Paulo, utilizando morfometria geométrica alar e marcadores microssatélites
O mosquito Aedes aegypti é reconhecido como o principal vetor do vírus da Dengue, além de transmitir outros arbovírus de importância médica, como os causadores da Febre Amarela urbana, Chikungunya e Zika. A ecologia deste vetor está intimamente associada ao homem, sendo provavelmente, a única esp...
Morphology of the axial skeleton of seven bat genera (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Here we present detailed descriptions and comparisons of the axial skeleton of seven species of bats belonging to five subfamilies of Phyllostomidae of different trophic guilds. The material examined consisted of 34 complete skeletons of seven species. For five of the studied species, previous d...
Morphometric differences and fluctuating asymmetry in Melipona subnitida Ducke 1910 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in different types of housing
Braz. j. biol; 76 (4), 2016
Abstract A geometric morphometrics approach was applied to evaluate differences in forewing patterns of the Jandaira bee (Melipona subnitida Ducke). For this, we studied the presence of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in forewing shape and size of colonies kept in either rational hive boxes or natural tree tr...
