Morphological study and taxonomical notes on Eudendriidae (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Athecatae/Anthomedusae)

The morphology of 25 species of the family Eudendriidae was studied, with special regard to their reproductive organs, using techniques of SEM and optical microscopy and several synonymies were confirmed or discussed.

Allochronic taxa as an alternative model to explain circumantarctic disjunctions

This model allows accommodation of conflicting sources of evidence now available for many groups with circumantarctic distributions and shows that there is no need to invoke ad hoc transoceanic dispersal, even for post‐Gondwanan taxa.

QUATERNARY MAMMALS FROM CENTRAL BRAZIL (SERRA DA BODOQUENA, MATO GROSSO DO SUL) AND COMMENTS ON PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY AND PALEOENVIRONMENTS

Studies regarding Quaternary mammals from the Serra da Bodoquena (South-western Brazil, state of Mato Grosso do Sul) are scarce. In the region, the Fadas Cave has been an important paleontological…

Flies, endemicity, and the Atlantic Forest: a biogeographical study using topographic units of analysis

The recognition of a separate area of endemism for flies in the Semideciduous Forest agrees with phytogeographical reconstructions and raises an important alert for the scarcity of biological reserves for this vegetation.

Areas of endemism in the Neotropical region based on the geographical distribution of Tabanomorpha (Diptera: Brachycera).

In a broad sense, the main areas of endemism recovered for Tabanomorpha are congruent with the recent proposals of regionalisation for the Neotropical region.

On Reciprocal Illumination and Consilience in Biogeography

This procedure aims to evaluate the robustness of biogeographical hypotheses as scientific theories, which are reliable descriptions of how life changes its form both in space and time, putting historical biogeography close to Croizat's statement of evolution as a three dimensional phenomenon.

Advances on Dipterology in the 21st century and extinction rates

This work synthesizes data from the last 15 years of taxonomic work in Diptera, mapping the world taxonomic productivity in the order and correlates it with estimates of extinction rates to determine the amount of basic taxonomic research still necessary.

FAMILY RHAGIONIDAE.

The family Rhagionidae is one of the oldest Brachyeran lineages, but there are four rhagionid genera distributed in Neotropical Region but only three species of Chrysopilus are found in Colombia.

Timeless standards for species delimitation.

Recently a new species of bombyliid fly, Marleyimyia xylocopae, was described by Marshall & Evenhuis (2015) based on two photographs taken during fieldwork in the Republic of South Africa. This…

On the parallels between cosmology and astrobiology: a transdisciplinary approach to the search for extraterrestrial life

Abstract The establishment of cosmology as a science provides a parallel to the building-up of the scientific status of astrobiology. The rise of astrobiological studies is explicitly based on a…
