The genus Polystoma includes parasites with direct life cycles that involve a short-lived free-living, aquatic oncomiracidia, post-larvae infecting the gill chambers of tadpoles, and adults parasitizing urinary bladder adult anurans. Despite high diversity anurans in South American sub-continent, less than 20 species have been reported to date, and, particularly, Argentina, only five described from frogs. aim this work was describe characterize taxonomically specimens found tadpoles frogs...
The increased degradation of natural habitats has strengthened the need to know and assess biodiversity patterns. Particularly, study araneofauna in North Argentina is scarce ecoregions with priority interests conservation. Generally, spiders are used as indicators compare patterns, here we tested whether spider family-level can act a substitute species-level rapid assessments. For this, analyzed alpha beta diversity epigeal communities three separate sites different Salta province (Chaco...
Factors influencing the diversity of tenebrionid beetles in arid, high-altitude environments northwest Argentina are little-known. Using pitfall traps and suction sampling 30 sites, we collected these Altos Andes (AA) Puna (PU) ecoregions evaluated how local regional factors influenced their assemblages. During each date, registered variables related to climate, vegetation, soil site. In total, recorded 270 individuals from 21 species, richness species was higher PU than AA, but without a...
