The ecology of most arboreal ants remains poorly documented because of the difficulty in accessing ant nests and foragers in the forest canopy. This study documents the nesting and foraging ecology of a large (∼13 mm total length) arboreal trap-jaw ant, Odontomachus hastatus (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in a sandy plain forest on Cardoso Island, off the coast of Southeast Brazil. The r...

Bokermannohyla juiju is a member of the B. martinsi species group and it was described based on one male specimen. In order to enhance the knowledge about the species, we describe its advertisement call and morphological variation, including for the first time data on females. We also provide additional comments about its natural history, geographic distribution, and conservation. The advertise...

gations have been added. Some characteristic motor disturbances in specific disease have been discussed. The text is supplemented by 250 excellent illustrations. Most of the photographic illustrations come from the teaching film collection of the New York Neurological Institute. The book concludes with a list of teaching films on neurology and a schedule of neurological examinations. In the rev...

Bromeliads are the most abundant litter-trapping plants in Neotropical forest canopies. By intercepting litter, bromeliads obtain and retain nutrients before they reach pedosphere. Here, we analyzed litter captured stored by tank (TB) five different forests along an elevation gradient Mexico. Among those forests, carbon nutrient pools nitrogen fluxes TB were estimated a mangrove (MF) semi-decid...
