Selecting a suitable perch can offer many benefits for fish-eating birds such as kingfishers. However, factors affecting perch selection in these species remain poorly studied. We studied perch selection in three species of kingfishers inhabiting the Pantanal of Brazil during the dry season: Megaceryle torquata, Chloroceryle amazona, and Chlorocery...
A pesar de los esfuerzos realizados para promover la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres, el avance es lento en muchas áreas relacionadas con la ciencia. En el caso de la Zoología, no existen estudios específicos que lo evalúen en detalle. Nuestro objetivo fue cuantificar la brecha de género en los departamentos de Zoología de universidades españolas....
Mites of the family Melicharidae comprise 13 genera and 220 species often associated with edaphic environments and found in association with insects, birds and mammals. Two genera, Proctolaelaps and Tropicoseius, have been recorded in Brazil in association with birds and bromeliads. In this study, we add new locality and host-association records fo...
Está demostrado que una ciencia más inclusiva produce mejores resultados en la participación y desarrollo de las mujeres en las carreras científicas y en la sociedad en general. En el ámbito universitario enfocado en el medio ambiente, las excursiones y salidas de campo son una parte esencial para el desarrollo y la puesta en práctica de las habili...
Chiggers of the genus Parasecia Loomis parasitize birds, mammals, and reptiles in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. In the present review, we examined 18 species previously included in the genus, 15 of them being retained in the genus Parasecia, one genus is created, Nahuacarus bulbocalcar n. gen. (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae), and new combin...
Animal movement and behavior depend on the distribution of resources on the habitat. Therefore, individual animals are constantly making decisions on resource selection based on different attributes of the resource or its associated environmental variables. For fish-eating birds as kingfishers, selecting a suitable perch can report many benefits, a...
Ecological networks represent the energy flow and interactions among the species of an ecological community. Streblidae is a family of bloodsucking flies specialized in parasitizing bats, thus forming an ecological network. The purpose of this study was to investigate the specialization and modularity of a bat fly antagonist ecological network in a...
Ecological networks represent the energy flow and interactions among the species of an ecological community. Streblidae is a family of bloodsucking flies specialized in parasitizing on bats, thus forming an ecological network. The purpose of this study was to investigate the specialization and modularity of a bat fly antagonist ecological network i...
