The presence or absence of the biting midge Culicoides sonorensis Wirth & Jones (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), a primary vector of bluetongue viruses (genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae, BTV) in North America, was assessed on ranches and farms across the Northern Great Plains region of the United States, specifically Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota, as part of a 2-yr regional study of BTV...

Invasive annual grasses are a growing global concern because they facilitate larger and more frequent fires in historically fuel-limited ecosystems. Forests of the western United States have remained relatively resistant to invasion by their subsequent impacts. However, where forests adjacent invaded areas, increased fire spread across ecotones could alter behavior ecosystem resilience. In Inla...

Just 50 years ago, large herbivores like Banteng, Asian Elephant, and Eld’s Deer as well as predators like Indochinese tiger and leopard were so abundant in the Dry Forests of North and Northeast Cambodia that scientists compared this ecoregion to the savannas of East Africa. In the troubled decades that followed, however, habitat destruction and hunting greatly reduced animal numbers and diver...

Neotropical temperate grasslands comprise the Pampas ecoregion in Argentina. This region is also center of agricultural development Argentina, which has led to a significant simplification and homogenization landscape. The Tandilia Mountains, located Southeast ecoregion, house one last remnants highland grassland that acts as refuge for several native species, including both endemic threatened ...

A new monotypic genus of ricaniid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Ricaniidae), Tarehylava gen. nov., is described for T. avymaina sp. nov. (type species), based on four females collected in the spiny forest ecoregion south-western Madagascar. Habitus, as well external and internal female genital structures species are illustrated.
