CARACTERIZACIÓN MORFOLÓGICA DE SEMILLAS DISPERSADAS POR MURCIÉLAGOS FRUGÍVOROS EN SELVAS DEL TRÓPICO HÚMEDO MEXICANO Open
Frugivorous bats play an essential ecological function because they consume a large number of fruits and excrete seeds during flight. In this way, they disperse a diversity of plants, both primary and pioneer ones, either in conserved or d…

The sex‐determination pattern in crocodilians: A systematic review of three decades of research Open
Sex in crocodilians is not determined by chromosomes, but by egg incubation temperature, where different temperatures produce different clutch sex ratios. Two patterns have been proposed to describe these changes in sex ratios: a 100% fema…
