We present results of a large scale, multi-epoch optical survey of the Ori OB1 association, carried out with the QuEST camera at the Venezuela National Astronomical Observatory. We identify for the first time the widely spread low-mass, young population in the Orion OB1a and OB1b sub-associations. Candidate members were picked up by their variability in the V -band and position in color-magnitu...

A serological survey was conducted for antibodies against 'ranaviruses' in the giant toad Bufo marinus in Australia and Venezuela. Sera containing antibodies against 'ranaviruses' were found in both countries. In Australia positive antibodies were identified in populations throughout most of the known range of B. marinus. Results were confirmed by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscop...

A new species of dobsonfly, Corydalus wanningeri, from Venezuela, is described and illustrated.

Yet, because of male genitalic structure it might be closely related to Corydalus crossi Contreras-Ramos. Specimens were collected from a rain forest transitional zone between the Or...
