Abstract Sarcosaprophagous flies are essential for the degradation of organic matter and nutrient cycling, which critical ecosystem health. This study assesses how anthropization influences fly assemblage diversity, abundance, their role in across different areas. Three types substrates were used: raw chicken viscera (CV), cow dung (CD), cooked noodles with eggs (NE), areas low (LA) high (HA) anthropization. In each area, 5 baited traps per substrate, allowed entry, 3 unexposed controls set....
Sarcophagidae (Diptera) are of great interest from a veterinary, medical, and forensic viewpoint, potential bioindicators for environmental impact assessments. In this study, we evaluated changes in abundance, species richness, diversity flesh flies different habitat types the Humid Chaco ecoregion South America: 1) anthropized habitats: urban, cattle farm, alfalfa crop, 2) natural savanna forest. We hypothesized that sarcophagid fly community parameters affected by anthropization spatial...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, regulators plant growth reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used bioindicators the impact land use. We gathered information ant species Atlantic Forest South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part SERIES papers, a compilation records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished (29,651 published...
This is the first study that analyzes ant fauna of Humid Chaco ecoregion. We produced an inventory based on a) sampling at different locations in provinces and Corrientes, Argentina, b) bibliographic records. comprises 10 subfamilies, 77 genera, 462 species. Eight these species are new records for ecoregion, six registered time Argentina. Acanthostichus longinodis, Camponotus fiebrigi, Crematogaster thalia, Eciton mexicanum argentinum, Mycetomoellerius Strumigenys insolita siagodens as...
The third instar and pupa of Neocorvicoana reticulata (Kirby, 1819) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Gymnetini) from Argentina, are described illustrated. This is the first description immatures in this genus. A key to known third-stage larvae New World Gymnetini species provided, which now includes 19 10 genera.
Abstract A comparative study on forests and grasslands in three ecoregions (Humid Chaco, Espinal, Paranaense) was conducted two protected areas northeastern Argentina: Iberá National Park Mburucuyá Park. The effects of habitat heterogeneity (vegetation cover) terrestrial ant (Formicidae) assemblages were analyzed compared. hypothesis—which predicts that when environmental structural complexity increases, the species richness will also increase—was tested. Two sites selected each ecoregion....
Argentina is among the ten countries in world with loss of large areas forests recent years. Deforestation leads to an inevitable biodiversity and fragmentation natural environments, increased extinctions species small patches. Ants are present all terrestrial ecosystems play key ecological roles. This study aimed analyse how ant assemblages vary different forest remnants Northeast (NEA) from approach taxonomic diversity, which involve linnean classifications relationships taxa. The ants...
This study provides the first record of Mycetophylax simplex (Emery, 1888) for Uruguay and extends known distribution this species south in South America. is currently only genus that occurs Uruguay. Workers queens were captured with pitfall traps a sandy beach on east coast Data figures M. recognition map are presented.
<p>The diet and histomorphology of the digestive tract Melanophryniscus klappenbachi were determined by analysis adult juvenile specimens collected in a private field Bermejo department, Chaco, Argentina. The sampling was carried out monthly from March to June 2015. 29 collected, measured, sexed, dissected for obtainment content his- tological samples. results showed high tendency towards myrmecophagy; more than 95% recovered prey items identified as ants. gastrointestinal system...
The South American Gran Chaco ecoregion extends through great areas of Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil. region includes vast forests that serve as an important reservoir tropical subtropical diversity. In spite its extent high biodiversity, it remains unexplored area regarding Oribatida. We made bibliographic research about the oribatid mites previously registered. bibliography Argentina a total 53 species are cited for this region. From our own works in Argentinean provinces...
Ants have an important ecological role and they can help in prevention pests management. That is why to know the species understand function perform different systems. The main propose of this work was study ants diversity on ground Citrus sinensis crop, with irrigation (IC) without (NC). Pitfall traps, foliage patterns, manual capture sifting litter were used characterize ant assemblages compare between treatments. In total, 26 13 genera collected, grouped 5 families. irrigated crop...
