TL;DR: This work sampled the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa from the soil to the forest canopy in the San Lorenzo forest, Panama using a comprehensive range of structured protocols and found that models based on plant diversity fitted the accumulated species richness of both herbivore and nonherbivore taxa exceptionally well.

TL;DR: It is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropod in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here, and given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods.

TL;DR: The analysis brings the diversity of carbohydrate uptake systems of fast- and a slow-growing mycobacteria to light, which reflects the lifestyles of M. smegmatis and M. tuberculosis in their natural habitats, the soil and the human body, respectively.

TL;DR: About 100 mutants are presented, which, in contrast, require the drug for repression, and are clustered at the interface of the DNA‐ and inducer‐binding domains, at which single amino acid exchanges lead to activity reversal.

TL;DR: IBISCA-Panama as mentioned in this paper is a large-scale research initiative to quantify the spatial distribution of arthropod biodiversity in a Neotropical forest, using a combination of international collaboration, a set of common research questions, and an integrated experimental design.
