Cleidogona huebnerae, n. sp., is described from La Gamba Tropical Research Station, Costa Rica. A total of sixteen species in three genera of Cleidogonidae are known from Central America (Guatemala south to Panama), and they are reviewed here.

1. Female frog-biting midges (Diptera: Corethrellidae) eavesdrop on the nocturnal mating calls of their blood hosts – male frogs. Available data suggest variable degrees specialisation among Corethrella-host associations, with limited information mechanisms involved in host selection and partitioning a community level. 2. Our study provides first comprehensive analysis interactions for neotropi...

In the wake of a civil war, local resources can play a potential role in shaping the recovery process by providing both old and new exegeses for the disturbing effects of the past. Using the case of Gorongosa, this article aims to explore the ways in which the war has impacted upon traditional medicine by creating Gamba spirits that cause havoc but can also transform the psychosocial hurts of w...

This paper introduces a new approach of approximate Bayesian inference for Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) models. This approach is not MCMC based and aims to provide a more efficient option for Bayesian inference on SDE models. There are two novel aspects about this approach: the first concerns the way in which the parameter space is explored and the second concerns the evaluation of th...

Arterial hypertension is one of the most important health problems in industrialized cities. Blood pressure levels are influenced by renal salt handling and salt reabsorption in the kidney. In this Closeup, Castañeda-Bueno and Gamba discuss the work from Alessi and coworkers on the in vivo roles of the SPAK kinase in defining blood pressure levels.
