An examination of species limits in the Aulacorhynchus “prasinus” toucanet complex (Aves: Ramphastidae)
The number of species recognized in Aulacorhynchus toucanets has varied tremendously over the past century. Revisors seem to disagree on whether head and bill coloration are useful indicators of species limits, especially in the A. "prasinus" complex. Using morphometrics, I tested the hypothesis that the major color-based subspecific groups of A. "prasinus" sensu lato are simply "cookie-cutter"...
متن کاملSeed Dispersal, Seed Predation, and Seedling Recruitment of a Neotropical Montane Tree
Postdispersal fate of seeds from Ocotea endresiana (Lauraceae), a bird-dispersed Neotropical montane tree, was studied in Costa Rica to determine the influence of seed dispersers, seed predators, and microhabitat characteristics on seedling recruitment. Particular emphasis was placed on finding naturally dispersed seeds in order to study the link between dispersal and postdispersal fate of seed...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Pantepui montane biotas: A Perspective Based on the Phylogeny of Aulacorhynchus toucanets
To understand the origin of Pantepui montane biotas, we studied the biogeography of toucanets in the genus Aulacorhynchus. These birds are ideal for analyzing historical relationships among Neotropical montane regions, given their geographic distribution from Mexico south to Bolivia, including northern Venezuela (Cordillera de la Costa), and the Pantepui. Analyses were based on molecular phylog...
متن کاملSelective Speciation of Ferric Iron by a New Heterocyclic Ligand
The synthesis and analytical applications of the new heterocyclic ligand are described. The complexation reaction of the ligand with some cations was studied in aqueous methanol at room temperature using the spectrophotometric method. Results revealed that only the absorption spectra of the Fe (III)–ligand complex show a high redshift of the absorption maximum in the aqueous methanol soluti...
متن کاملVanadium (IV and V) speciation with a catechol derivative and tetrazolium salt
The possibility of application of 4-nitrocatechol (4-NC) - tetrazolium salt - organic solventsystems for liquid-liquid extraction-spectrophotometric vanadium (IV and V) speciation wasstudied. Six commercially available tetrazolium salts (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC),3-(2-naphtyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium chloride (Tetrazolium Violet, TV); 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetra...
