Organisms must possess good dispersal ability to persist in fragmented landscapes, as extinction in habitat patches is frequent and patches must be re-colonised to keep viable metapopulations. Thus, metapopulation maintenance is dependent on patch size and distance, although these affect species differently. In order to evaluate the ability of Nymp...
Neotropical Hamadryas butterflies are notorious for the clicking noise they produce in flight. Tests of the sound production capacity of nine species of Hamadryas and observations on aerial interactions of six species showed that, among the three species groups, only males of the feronia group produced sounds, whereas females of all species and mal...

I am currently working on a paper describing a new technique to add to IUCN methods of species conservation assessment and need references to countries that use the IUCN methods to produce their national red lists. So, please, if you can provide references for countries that use this method, they will be highly welcomed.
Considering the high attractivity of aromatic baits used to capture euglossine bees, which may lure insects from long distances, I am looking for positive or negative evidence of this sampling method on euglossine populations. Specifically, which chemicals are more attractive and what distance do they act? Should there be a limit to the periodicity of sampling in order not to reduce bee populations?
