AbstractRoadkill monitoring can provide important information about spatial and temporaltrends on roadkill events. These studies are important for conservation, but thereare few examples from Central America. Here, I identified in a road near a nationalpark in Panama that monthly vertebrate roadkill events decreased with increases intemperature and precipitation.

Abstract – We report the occurrence of Brachyplatys subaeneus (Westwood, 1837) on a new hostplant species: the leguminose Macroptilium longepedunculatum. We discovered thebugs in the mouth of the river San Juan in Coiba National Park in Panama. Wepresent the morphological and barcode species level identification. This insect pestnormally attacks plants of economic importance within cultivated

Abstract – Vertical stratification of animal assemblages has been observed in several arthropod taxa. However,for some groups there is conflicting evidence, such as for the neotropical orchid bees. Here, we used a metaanalysisto evaluate trends in abundance and diversity of euglossine bees across strata. We found no evidence ofstratification in terms of diversity, but abundance

The omnipresence of pathogens makes them a strong selective pressure for most organisms, generating a variety of defensive responses to fight them. One mechanism by which organisms can release this pressure is avoidance of the pathogens in a spatial or temporal context. To date, only a few biological systems provide evidence that habitat selection can
