Ecological Functioning

Widely recognized as the largest terrestrial mammal in the Neotropics, the globally endangered, IUCN Red-listed, Baird’s tapir Tapirus bairdii has been in a continual decline due to habitat loss, localized hunting, and their low reproductive rates. Because of its ecological role, the loss of this species is likely to have a cascading effect on a number of species that are important to the ecological functioning of the remaining fragments of tropical forests across Central America. As efforts continue to identify regions where this species still persists throughout its known range, we report here a new record of T. bairdii in the Caribbean lowlands of northeast Costa Rica. Although T. bairdii may have historical existed in the region surrounding the field station, they were believed to be extirpated with only anecdotal reports suggesting their continued existence.

It is well known that parasites and plants have complex intereactons. It is not well known how parasites may affect polinator preference. In the study I examined the plant Ox­Eye where it was with or without parasitic aphids. Different plant characteristics were measured as well as the amount of aphids on the plant. Number of polinator visits and visit length were recorded to indicate a polinator preference for each plant. The data suggests that although polinators visited the plants with aphids, they spent significantly more time on the plants without parasites. Pilot follow up studies were also performed. The experiment took place in  the summer of 2006 at the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, part of Michigan State University's Biological Field  Station

Among 210 undetermined Neotropical Drosophilidae collected by Michael von Tschirnhaus, at the Panguana Biological Field Station in the Huánuco Region of Peru, a male of Stegana penicillata (Kertész 1901) was identified, analyzed and photomicrographed. This is the second record of a male of S. penicillata in Peru and the first record of this species in the Huánuco Region.
