متن کاملBiomechanics of Flight in Neotropical Butterflies: Morphometrics and Kinematics
Wing and body kinematics of free cruising flight are described for 37 species of Panamanian butterflies ranging over two orders of magnitude in body mass. Butterflies exhibit considerable diversity in body and wing shape, but morphological design is, in general, isometric. Wing loading and mean body diameter show positive allometry. The cruising flight of butterflies is characterized by low win...
متن کاملMolecular Data Reveal Complex Hybridization and a Cryptic Species of Neotropical Wild Cat
Hybridization among animal species has recently become more recognized as an important phenomenon, especially in the context of recent radiations. Here we show that complex hybridization has led to contrasting patterns of genomic composition among closely related species of the Neotropical cat genus Leopardus. We show strong evidence of ancient hybridization and introgression between the pampas...
متن کاملLandscape Use and Co-Occurrence Patterns of Neotropical Spotted Cats
Small felids influence ecosystem dynamics through prey and plant population changes. Although most of these species are threatened, they are accorded one of the lowest research efforts of all felids, and we lack basic information about them. Many felids occur in sympatry, where intraguild competition is frequent. Therefore, assessing the role of interspecific interactions along with the relativ...
متن کاملShape Variation in Neotropical Cytheridella (Ostracoda) Using Semilandmarks-Based Geometric Morphometrics: A Methodological Approach and Possible Biogeographical Implications
Geometric morphometrics offer effective methods to obtain information about shape and shape variability. In ostracodology, landmark-based methods are, however, not well established. To test the applicability of geometric morphometric analyses for ostracods, we investigated shape variation among recent and fossil populations of the genus Cytheridella using a combination of landmarks and semiland...
