Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research
Carvalho, Raquel L.; Resende, Angelica F.; Barlow, Jos; França, Filipe M.; Moura, Mario R.; Maciel, Rafaella; Alves-Martins, Fernanda; Shutt, JackBiodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain underst...

Food habits of Rhinella proboscidea (Anura: Bufonidae) in terra firme forests o...
Borges, Alice Cristina Rodrigues; Santos, Talitha Ferreira dos; Frazão, Luciana; Marques-Souza, Sergio; Menin, MarceloAnuran species are considered generalist and opportunist feeders. However, some species have dietary specializations. Here we describe the diet composition of Rhinella proboscidea based on the stomach content of 29 individuals captured in terra firme forests in Manaus and São Sebastião do Uatumã, state of Amazonas, Brazil. Each prey item was measured and identified to Order, Suborder or Family; ants were identi...
Diet of five anuran species in a forest remnant in eastern acre state, Brazilia...
Almeida, Brenda C.; Santos, Rodrigo Souza; Santos, Talitha Ferreira dos; Souza, Moisés Barbosa de; Menin, MarceloThe diet of anuran species is based on a large variety of prey items, which may be related to the availability of prey in the environment. In Amazonia, studies on the diet of anurans have occurred mainly in primary forests. Because forest fragmentation promotes changes in the environment, it is expected that the diet of anuran species will also be affected. Here we describe the diet composition of anurans captu...
First record of myrcia magna D.Legrand (Myrtaceae) as a myrmecophyte host for m...
Gaem, Paulo Henrique; Farroñay, Francisco; Santos, Talitha Ferreira dos; Cabello, N. B.; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda; Vicentini, AlbertoThe association of the ant Myrcidris epicharis with the plant Myrcia magna is reported for the first time. This association was registered in two localities along the Negro river basin, in the region of Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil. The ants inhabit swollen shoots in apical and subjacent nodes of the branches. This record represents the second plant species of Myrtaceae to be associated with Myrcidris epichar...
