A systematic revision of the Pedaliodes praxia group is presented. It consists of three closely related species occurring in the uppermost cloud forests of the northern Andes in Colombia and Ecuador. Two new taxa, Pedaliodes puciula n. sp. and P. praxia buckleyi n. ssp., are described. Geographic distribution patterns are overviewed. Main ecological traits are discussed.
متن کاملFilaria zoogeography in Africa: ecology, competitive exclusion, and public health relevance.
Six species of filariae infect humans in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesise that these nematodes are able to polyparasitise human hosts by having successfully, through competitive exclusion, adapted to distinct niches. Despite inhabiting the same host, adult stages reside in different tissue sites. Microfilariae of some species exhibit temporal separation by reaching peak levels in the blood at...

AMBI is an ecological marine ecosystem indicator, which provides a more intelligent assessment of ecosystems of sensitivity and resilience, and ecological role, compared to famous diversity and dominance. This study assesses ecosystem health status from the AMBI's perspective by examining the distribution and biodiversity of macrobenthoses from mangrove of Mel-e-Gonzeh in the Bushehr province. ...
