A synopsis of the metallic carpenter bees Xylocopa subgenus Schonnherria Lepeletier in Colombia is presented. Eleven species were recognized: X. dimidiata Latreille, ecuadorica Cockerell, lateralis Say, lucida Smith, metallica muscaria (Fabricius), ornata viridis and simillima being this latter a new record for country. In addition, two are described: auriventris n. sp. romeroi from Colombian Andean Pacific region, respectively. To stabilize application some names, lectotypes designated...
RAD51C was defined by Meindl et al. in 2010 as a high-risk gene involved hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. Although this role seems to be clear, nowadays there is controversy about the indication of including routine clinical genetic testing, due lower prevalence or absence mutations found subsequent studies. Here, we present results comprehensive mutational screening large series 785 Spanish and/or cancer families, which, contrast various studies published date, includes functional...
Abstract Ants in the N eotropical genus S ericomyrmex M ayr cultivate fungi for food. Both ants and are obligate, coevolved symbionts. The taxonomy of is problematic because morphology worker caste generally homogeneous across all species within genus, limits vague, relationships between them unknown. We used ultraconserved elements ( UCEs ) as genome‐scale markers to reconstruct evolutionary history infer boundaries . recovered an average ∼990 UCE loci 88 samples from geographical range...
Cohabitation between ants and termites is a widespread yet understudied ecological interaction in tropical forests. This study explores the patterns of termite-ant cohabitation networks across different forest coverages Colombian Amazon, focusing on taxonomic composition, nesting substrates, ant functional guilds. A total 413 specimens were collected from 283 networks, identifying 197 interacting species (110 87 termites). The network exhibited low connectance ( C = 0.112) moderate...
The new genus Kempfidris gen. nov. is described based on the workers of a single species, K. inusualis comb. nov., from Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. was originally by Fernández (2007) provisionally placed in Monomorium awaiting better understanding internal relationships Myrmicinae. has series distinctive morphological characters including mandibular configuration, vestibulate propodeal spiracle, carinae, cylindrical micro-pegs posteromedian portion abdominal tergum VI anteromedian VII....
Chilean dryland areas of the Mediterranean climate region are characterized by highly degraded and compacted soils, which require use conservation tillage systems to mitigate water erosion as well improve soil storage.An oat (Avena sativa L. cv.Supernova-INIA) -wheat (Triticum aestivum cv.Pandora-INIA) crop rotation was established under following systems: no (Nt), Nt + contour plowing (Nt+Cp), barrier hedge (Nt+Bh), subsoiling (Nt+Sb), compared conventional (Ct) evaluate their influence on...
The ants of the genus Rhopalothrix are diverse in Neotropical region, with 14 16 described species. Based on museum material and recent fieldwork, Colombia were reviewed. Morphological analysis workers allowed delimitation six species, including two new mandibularis Guerrero & Grajales, sp. nov. mariaemirae Tocora, Fiorentino Fernández, A combination amati comb. is proposed for Eurhopalothrix . worker-based taxonomic key, high-definition images workers, a distribution map all species...
A synopsis of dolichoderine ants the genus Technomyrmex Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in New World is offered including notes, keys, pictures all known species, and description T. gorgona sp. n. from SW Colombia. This first record continental South America. Currently comprises six species (two extinct, marked by *) World: *T. caritatis Brandão & Baroni Urbani (Dominican amber), difficilis Forel (tramp collected Washington, Puerto Rico, Antigua Nevis), fulvus (Wheeler) (Costa Rica,...
The ant genus Sphinctomyrmex has been represented in the Neotropical Region until now by a single species, S. stali , known only from sparse localities southeastern Brazil. Two new neotropical species are herein described, marcoyi sp. n. and schoerederi workers collected Brazilian Amazon Atlantic Forest, respectively. New records for presented, is redescribed together with discussions on its high morphological variation identity of type specimen. A key workers, images all presently known,...
This paper presents an updated list of soil ants the Colombian Amazon collected in three different river basins: Amazon, Caquetá and Putumayo. The includes 10 subfamilies, 60 genera 218 species from TSBF monoliths at four depths (Litter, 0 - cm, 20 cm 30 cm). increases considerably knowledge edaphic macrofauna region, due to limited published information about ant diversity region. is first checklist Six new records for Colombia are exposed: Acropygatricuspis (LaPolla, 2004),...
New records of genera and species stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) from Colombia are provided. Two new for South America: Alathetus Schraderiellus. Fifteen record Colombia: Agaclitus, Boea, Ceratozygum, Euthyrhynchus, Eritrachys, Doesburguedessa, Lopadusa, Marmessulus, Paralincus, Patanius, Peromatus, Phalaecus, Phoeacia, Rio, Tyrannocoris.

Con una larga historia de algo más 100 millones años y alrededor 14.000 especies vivientes descritas, las hormigas son uno los grupos insectos importantes conocidos en el mundo. Las elementos clave la estructura dinámica sistemas terrestres, especial trópicos, así como herramienta estudios evolución ecología, monitoreo ecosistemas perturbados. Por todo esto es indispensable conocer su filogenia para, entre otras cosas, tener sólida base sistemática y, finalmente, taxonomía. Dentro Aculeata...
Forelius damiani sp. nov. is described from the dry forest of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, and additional collections Costa Rica Texas (USA). This new species separated other rounded spiracles by number erect pronotal hairs, size coloration. Comments hypotheses about biogeography genus are provided. pruinosus recorded for first time Colombia.
