Horichia dressleri. A new genus recorded for Costa Rica and a truly rare orchid?
(2017)
Orchid collectors, as well as
scientists, know that some species are
rarer than others. “Know” should perhaps
be used in this context with some caution

Differences in web features between two sympatric Leucauge species (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) suggest a trade-off in prey capture strategy
(2021)
The design of orb webs is affected by multiple abiotic (e.g., wind, available space), biotic (e.g., prey availability,
predation), and species specific (e.g., spider size) factors. Thus, some features of each spider web ...
Combined pollution of copper nanoparticles and atrazine in soil: Effects on dissipation of the pesticide and on microbiological community profiles - ScienceDirect
