A new species of Calomys (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) from Eastern Brazil
On the basis of combined analyses of karyotypic, molecular and morphologic data, we herein describe a new Calomys species collected in a transitional area between the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado morphoclimatic domains of eastern Brazil. This new taxon differs from all other Brazilian Calomys species by its diploid number (2n=38), the lowest among Brazilian Calomys species, and by its yellow...
متن کاملVariation of ursolic acid content in eight Ocimum species from northeastern Brazil.
Ursolic acid is a very important compound due to its biological potential as an anti-inflammatory, trypanocidal, antirheumatic, antiviral, antioxidant and antitumoral agent. This study presents the HPLC analysis of ursolic acid (UA) content in eight different Ocimum species: O. americanum L., O. basilicum L, O. basilicum var purpurascens Benth, O. basilicum var. minimum L, O. gratissimum L, O. ...
متن کاملPlasticity and heritability of morphological variation within and between parapatric stickleback demes.
The threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) has emerged as an important model organism in evolutionary ecology, largely due to the repeated, parallel evolution of divergent morphotypes found in populations having colonized freshwater habitats. However, morphological divergence following colonization is not a universal phenomenon. We explore this in a large-scale estuarine ecosystem inha...
متن کاملMichanthidium almeidai, a new species from northeastern Brazil (Hymenoptera, Megachilinae)
A new species of Michanthidium Urban (Hymenoptera, Megachilinae)is described and figured from Sergipe and Bahia States, northeastern Brazil. An identification key, illustrations, and a distribution map for the three species of the genus are presented. The male genitalia of Michanthidium almeidaisp. n. and Michanthidium albitarse are illustrated and compared for the first time.
متن کاملNew species of Leptohyphidae (Ephemeroptera) from northeastern Brazil
Two new species of Leptohyphidae are described based on nymphs and adults: Traverhyphes (Traverhyphes) frevo sp. nov. and Tricorythopsis spongicola sp. nov. Traverhyphes (T.) frevo can be distinguished from other species, among other characteristics, by the presence of curved penile spines inserted laterally, and posterolateral projections of styliger plate very short and pointed distally in la...
