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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uses of wild vertebrates in traditional medicine by farmers in the region surrounding the Serra do Conduru State Park (Bahia, Brazil)
Joanison Vicente dos Santos Teixeira,Jade Silva dos Santos,Deyna Hulda Arêas Guanaes,Wesley Duarte da Rocha,Alexandre Schiavetti +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that zootherapy is a traditional practice embedded in these communities, and among the species mentioned, Cuniculus paca is the most used for zootherapy purposes, followed by Salvator merianae and Sphiggurus insidiosus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A giant new arboreal species of the ant genus Anochetus from Brazil (Formicidae: Ponerinae)
Rodrigo M. Feitosa,Sébastien Lacau,Wesley Duarte da Rocha,Anibal Ramadan Oliveira,Jacques H. C. Delabie +4 more
TL;DR: Besides its remarkable size, this species can be distinguished from others in the genus by a strong concavity of the posterior margin of head, absence of propodeal spines, and conical shape of petiolar node.
Gnamptogenys concinna (F. Smith, 1858) : nouvelles données sur sa distribution et commentaires sur ce cas de gigantisme dans le genre Gnamptogenys (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Ectatomminae)
Jacques H. C. Delabie,Wesley Duarte da Rocha,Rodrigo M. Feitosa,Paul Devienne,Dominique Fresneau +4 more
TL;DR: Gnamptogenys concinna as mentioned in this paper is the seule Fourmi neotropicale authentiquement arboricole of ce genre, elle est aussi de loin celle qui a la plus grande taille.
