Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

12.9K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Lampbrush Chromosomes01:51

Lampbrush Chromosomes

8.8K
In 1882, Flemming observed lampbrush chromosomes (LBC) in salamander eggs. Later in 1892, Rückert observed LBCs in shark egg cells and coined the term "lampbrush chromosomes" because they looked like brushes used to clean kerosene lamps.
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

Taxonomy01:31

Taxonomy

92.6K
Taxonomy is the science of defining and naming groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. It uses a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories with Latin names. The smallest units of taxonomy, species and genus, are used to assign a formal, taxonomic name to each species in a system. This classification system, referred to as binomial nomenclature, was formalized by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century.
Hierarchy of Taxonomy

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs

5.8K
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...

Bacterial Phylum Planctomycetes

524
Planctomycetes are a group of morphologically distinct bacteria predominantly classified into two orders: Planctomycetales and Brocadiales. These gram-negative bacteria exhibit unique features, including division by budding and the presence of stalks or appendages. Their cells are often found in rosette arrangements, and they are notable for possessing an S-layer in their cell envelope, which is relatively uncommon among bacteria. Additionally, Planctomycetes frequently exhibit intracellular...

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes01:30

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes

1.1K
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...

Area of Science:

  • Biodiversity research
  • Neotropical entomology
  • Taxonomy

Background:

  • The Neotropical region, particularly Colombia, had limited documented knowledge of this specific family.
  • Previous research provided insufficient data on the family's distribution and species diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To catalogue the species within this family found in the Neotropical region.
  • To update the known distribution records and species count for the family in Colombia.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature and recent studies.
  • Compilation of distribution records.
  • Species identification and classification.

Main Results:

  • The catalogue includes 44 species belonging to three distinct genera.
  • New distribution records have significantly increased the known range of the family in Colombia.
  • The study provides a comprehensive overview of the family's current taxonomic status in the region.

Conclusions:

  • This work significantly enhances the understanding of this family's biodiversity in the Neotropics.
  • The updated catalogue serves as a crucial resource for future research and conservation efforts in Colombia.
