Article Synopsis
- Chiggers from the genus Parasecia affect various animals in North and South America.
- A review of 18 species led to the retention of 15 species in Parasecia and the creation of a new genus, Nahuacarus.
- Additionally, some species were reclassified, with new localities and host records provided for several others within the same family.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists aim to uncover the reasons behind the Neotropical region's high bird diversity by examining factors like climate and human impact on morphological variation.
- The ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS dataset includes over 67,000 bird records spanning 711 species in South America’s Atlantic forests, covering up to 44 morphological traits collected over 200 years.
- This dataset, which is the most extensive of its kind in a biodiversity hotspot, supports both basic scientific research and practical conservation efforts.
Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts.
