Abstract Developmental plasticity can help organisms to survive in temporally variable environments. However, it is not well understood how variation life history helps species coexist heterogeneous Here, we investigate the extent which life‐history explains distributions a diverse assemblage of odonates tropical freshwater rock pool system characterized by substantial pond permanence. Some dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) accelerate their development leave water before habitat dries....
Large tropical trees are rightly perceived as supporting a plethora of organisms. However, baseline data about the variety taxa coexisting on single large lacking and prevent full understanding both magnitude biodiversity complexity interactions among organisms in rainforests. The two main aims research program “Life Trees” (LOT) (1) to establish knowledge number eukaryote species supported/hosted by above-ground part tree (2) understand how these communities assembled distributed or inside...
In the past decade, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) have emerged as powerful tools for ecologists, and quality diversity of information they can reconstruct is increasing. Rocky outcrops inselbergs are complex three-dimensional (3D) ecosystems with several spatial microhabitats that difficult to characterize using ground-based methods. UAV-mounted cameras photogrammetric software be used obtain 3D models whole a resolution up 4cm small areas 8mm. The shape volume eroded...
Abstract In many biomes, a variety of different small freshwater habitats, such as pools and phytotelmata can occur together in the same habitat matrix. However, both biodiversity functioning these ecosystems remain poorly known. Three types tropical West African hotspot were studied. The study demonstrated that animal communities water‐filled tree holes, temporary ponds granite rock strongly differentiated with exclusive faunas despite their spatial proximity similar disturbance form...
The Department of Guainía, in the Colombian Amazon, has a privileged situation terms biodiversity, but it remained for many years as one least explored territories country. Our contribution represents result several field collecting and taxonomic work Guainía to increase knowledge odonates there. We present here first comprehensive checklist with 104 species reported, which 42 are new records department 14 Colombia, including rediscovery genus Hylaeonympha Rácenis, 1968. updated number...
