Few data are available about the regional or local extinction of tropical butterfly species. When confirmed, local extinction was often due to the loss of host-plant species. We used published lists and recent monitoring ...
Methodological considerations for monitoring soil/litter arthropods in tropical rainforests using DNA metabarcoding, with a special emphasis on ants, springtails and termites

Basset, Yves; Donoso, David A.; Hajibabaei, Mehrdad; Wright, Michael T. G.; Perez, Kate H. J.; Lamarre, Greg P. A.; De León, Luis F.; Palacios-Vargas, Jos; Castaño-Meneses, Gabriela; Rivera, Marleny; Perez, Filonila; Bobadilla, Ricardo; Lopez, Yacksecari; Ramirez, José Alejandro; Barrios, Héctor (2020)
