| the association between the geographic distribution of triatoma pseudomaculata and triatoma wygodzinskyi (hemiptera: reduviidae) with environmental variables recorded by remote sensors. | in this study, predictive models of geographic distribution patterns of triatoma pseudomaculata (tps) and t. wygodzinskyi (twy) were carried out. they were based on biophysical variables estimated from information provided by the satellite remote sensors avhrr (advanced very high resolution radiometer) and modis (moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer). our goal was to analyze the potential geographic distribution of tps and twy and to assess the performance of three predictive models (on ... | 2009 | 18992369 |
| inferences about antennal phenotype: the "triatoma maculata complex" (hemiptera: triatominae) is valid? | the "triatoma maculata complex" is presently formed by two epidemiologically important species of triatominae, triatoma maculata and triatoma pseudomaculata, which share morphologic and chromatic characteristics. in order to clarify the systematic status and infer the evolutionary relationships of these vectors of chagas disease, we performed a comparative analysis of their antennal phenotype, taking also into account triatoma wygodzinskyi, a possible sister species. the comparison was based on ... | 2008 | 18282553 |
