Assessing Creepy Crawlies Arthropods are the most diverse group of terrestrial animal species, yet estimates of the total number of arthropod species have varied widely, especially for tropical… Expand
Global patterns in local number of insect galling species
- P. Price, G. W. Fernandes, +5 authors Nikita Rothcliff
- Biology

- L. Zanette, R. Martins, S. Ribeiro
- Geography
- 28 March 2005
The rapid growth of cities in many parts of the world has stimulated an increasing number of ecological studies of urban environments. Here, 12 study sites in the city of Belo Horizonte (MG),… Expand
Extinction debt on oceanic islands
- Kostas A Triantis, Paulo A. V. Borges, +14 authors R. Whittaker
- Geography
- 1 April 2010
Habitat destruction is the leading cause of species extinctions. However, there is typically a time-lag between the reduction in habitat area and the eventual disappearance of the remnant… Expand
Gall-forming and free-feeding herbivory along vertical gradients in a lowland tropical rainforest: the importance of leaf sclerophylly
- S. Ribeiro, Y. Basset
- Biology
- 1 October 2007
In contrast to most insect guilds, gall-forming insects are thought to reach highest diversity on sclerophyllous vegetation, such as Neotropical savannas and Mediterranean vegetation types. The water… Expand
