Comparative morphology of stridulating setae of Theraphosinae (Araneae: Theraphosidae)
Galleti-Lima, Arthur
; Guadanucci, José Paulo Leite (Zoologischer Anzeiger, 2019) [Artigo]
Theraphosid spiders are repleted with cuticular structures that evolved into distinct morphologies and developed different functions. The stridulatory apparatus present in the subfamily Theraphosinae is composed by a group ... -
ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America
; ; Assis, Julia Camara; Pena, João Carlos Castro ; Muylaert, Renata L. ; Tonetti, Vinicius Rodrigues ; ; Regolin, André Luis ; ; et al. (Ecology, 2019) [Data paper]
Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, ... -
Climate change will decrease the range of a keystone fish species in La Plata River Basin, South America
(Hydrobiologia, 2019) [Artigo]Climate change threatens freshwater fish by severely modifying water quality and hydrological dynamics, hence altering the species distribution. We assessed the climate change effects on the geographical distribution of ... -
The vocalization of gastrotheca fissipes (Boulenger, 1888) (Anura, Hemiphractidae) from the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil

A New, Morphologically Cryptic Species of Adenomera Closely Related to Adenomera araucaria from the Atlantic Forest of Southern Brazil (Anura, Leptodactylidae)
Carvalho, Thiago R. de; ; Taucce, Pedro P. G. ; Haddad, Celio F. B. (Journal Of Herpetology, 2019) [Artigo]
We describe a new species of Adenomera from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest corresponding to one of the candidate species indicated in the published phylogeny of the genus (sp. R). The new species differs from all 18 congeners ... -
Tonal calls as a bioacoustic novelty in two Atlantic Forest species of Physalaemus (Anura: Leptodactylidae)
Carvalho, Thiago R. de; Haddad, Celio F. B. ; (Acta Herpetologica, 2019) [Artigo]
The frog genus Physalaemus has almost 50 species with vocalizations that are mostly composed of a single note. This note tends to have a broad harmonic structure or a pulsed structure. The sister species P. lateristriga ... -
Low -load pathogen spillover predicts shifts in skin microbiome and survival of a terrestrial-breeding amphibian
(Proceedings Of The Royal Society B-biological Sciences, 2019) [Artigo]Wildlife disease dynamics are strongly influenced by the structure of host communities and their symbiotic microbiota. Conspicuous amphibian declines associated with the waterborne fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ... -
Thermal regime effects on the resting metabolic rate of rattlesnakes depend on temperature range
Fabricio-Neto, Ailton; ; Andrade, Denis Vieira (Journal Of Thermal Biology, 2019) [Artigo]
While ectothermic organisms often experience considerable circadian variation in body temperature under natural conditions, the study of the effects of temperature on metabolic rates are traditionally based on subjecting ... -
Defaunation precipitates the extinction of evolutionarily distinct interactions in the Anthropocene
Emer, Carine; Galetti, Mauro ; Pizo, Marco A. ; ; (Science Advances, 2019) [Artigo]
Species on Earth are interconnected with each other through ecological interactions. Defaunation can erode those connections, yet we lack evolutionary predictions about the consequences of losing interactions in human-modified ... -
Arthropod-bacteria interactions influence assembly of aquatic host microbiome and pathogen defense
; Lyra, Mariana L.; Migliorini, Gustavo H. ; ; ; ; ; ; ; et al. (Proceedings Of The Royal Society B-biological Sciences, 2019) [Artigo]
The host-associated microbiome is vital to host immunity and pathogen defense. In aquatic ecosystems, organisms may interact with environmental bacteria to influence the pool of potential symbionts, but the effects of these ... -
Food restriction, but not seasonality, modulates the acute phase response of a Neotropical bat
Cabrera-Martinez, Lucia V.; ; Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P. (Comparative Biochemistry And Physiology A-molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2019) [Artigo]
Season and food intake are known to affect immune response of vertebrates yet their effects on metabolic rate have been rarely explored. We tested the effect of season and acute food restriction and their interaction on ... -
Brazil's biodiversity researchers need help

Developmental staging table of the green iguana
; ; ; Abe, Augusto S.; ; ; ; (Acta Zoologica, 2019) [Artigo]
Embryonic staging tables provide information to standardize embryological investigations and to subsidize discussions about evolution. We have established a developmental staging table for Iguana iguana iguana. The sample ... -
Breeding latitude predicts timing but not rate of spring migration in a widespread migratory bird in South America
Jahn, Alex E.; ; ; ; ; ; ; Pizo, Marco A. ; ; (Ecology And Evolution, 2019) [Artigo]
Identifying the processes that determine avian migratory strategies in different environmental contexts is imperative to understanding the constraints to survival and reproduction faced by migratory birds across the planet. ... -
New records of feather mites (Astigmata: Analgidae, Avenzoariidae, Proctophyllodidae) from the blackcap, Saunders's tern and osprey in Saudi Arabia
; Hernandes, Fabio A.; ; ; (International Journal Of Acarology, 2019) [Artigo]

Phylogeography of Atlantic Forest glassfrogs (Vitreorana): when geography, climate dynamics and rivers matter
; ; ; Lyra, M.; Haddad, C. ; ; (Heredity, 2019) [Artigo]
Recent advances in the field of landscape genetics provide ways to jointly analyze the role of present-day climate and landscape configuration in current biodiversity patterns. Expanding this framework into a phylogeographic ... -
