As part of a review of the Auchenorrhyncha of the (former) Dutch Antilles, a new species in the genus Microledrida, Microledrida malpaisa sp. nov., is described from Curaçao.

Latin America and the Caribbean, regions marked...

We observed a decline in seed production over the study period, which was primarily explained by direct effects of rising nighttime temperatures and...
