Butterfly Assemblages Differ among Vegetation Types in Southern Amazonia

چکیده
Environmental heterogeneity is considered an important factor supporting the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity. At small scales, such thought to promote species co-existence through increase in niche opportunities. Amazonia, largest most biodiverse rainforest world, presents a large number vegetation types within its territory. Here, we tested hypothesis that butterfly assemblages differ among five at scale (less than 1 km2) region Southern Amazonia. The studied were forest gap, terra firme, igapó, semi-deciduous forest, bamboo forest. richest abundant community was gap; igapó least rich, but held second only one with nine indicator instead two or three. Assemblage composition differed all types, exception gap Different light levels, temperatures, humidity, host plant availability are likely relevant factors influencing these assemblages. results suggest presence various promotes coexistence species, specific threats each type should be addressed conserve region’s

Effects of different secondary vegetation types on bat community composition in Central Amazonia, Brazil
The process of secondary succession on degraded lands in the Amazon depends on their land-use histories. In this scenario, little is known about how animal communities respond to different types of secondary vegetation in the region. We examined the effects of abandoned cattle pasture, Vismiaand Cecropia-dominated regrowth on the abundance of bat species and community composition in the Central...
متن کاملThermoregulatory Responses to Graded Exercise Differ among Sasang Types
We compared sweat rate and variables such as workload (W e ), metabolic heat production (H prod), and temperature increment load (T inc) across Sasang types. 304 apparently healthy participants aged 20-49 years with their Sasang type determined were enrolled. Local sweat rates on the chest (LSRchest) and back (LSRback) were measured using a perspiration meter during a maximum treadmill exercise...
