| spatial dynamics of understorey insectivorous birds and arthropods in a southeastern brazilian atlantic woodlot. | spatial distribution and spatial relationships in capture rates of understorey insectivorous birds and density of arthropods were investigated in a patch of upper montane rain forest in minas gerais state, southeastern brazil, from january to december 2004. the composition of the arthropod fauna collected was similar to that reported for other tropical forests, with predominance of araneae, coleoptera, hymenoptera and hemiptera non-heteroptera. a total of 26 bird species were captured, among whi ... | 2011 | 21437393 |
| the genus nanopterodectes mironov, 2009 (acari, proctophyllodidae), with descriptions of three new species from antbirds (passeriformes: thamnophilidae) in brazil. | three new species of the recently discovered, and hitherto monotypic, feather mite genus nanopterodectes mironov, 2009 are described: n. acutirostris n. sp. from stymphalornis acutirostris bornschein, reinert & teixeira, n. mentalis n. sp. from dysithamnus mentalis (temminck), and n. leucopterus n. sp. from pyriglena leucoptera (vieillot). this feather mite genus is currently restricted to passerine birds of the neotropical family thamnophilidae in brazil. a key to the known species of nanoptero ... | 2012 | 23065305 |
| polymorphism and genetic diversity of isospora parnaitatiaiensis silva, rodrigues, lopes, berto, luz, ferreira & lopes, 2015 (eimeriidae) from antbirds (thamnophilidae) in brazil. | isospora parnaitatiaiensis silva, rodrigues, lopes, berto, luz, ferreira & lopes, 2015 was identified from a new host, the plain antvireo dysithamnus mentalis (temminck), and also from the white-shouldered fire-eye pyriglena leucoptera vieillot, in its type-locality, the itatiaia national park in the southeastern brazil, and a preliminary genotypic characterisation by sequencing the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene is provided. the oöcysts recovered from p. leucoptera and d. men ... | 2020 | 32990887 |
