Contexts of Anointing Behavior in a Group of Blond Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus flavius) Inhabiting an Atlantic Forest Fragment. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Wild blond capuchin anoints with millipede species that secrete a chemical capable of repelling ectoparasites, suggesting a self‐medicative function. Social and solitary anointing bouts occurred at similar frequencies, but with greater engagement by adult males, indicating that anointing is a multifunctional behavior.

Mapping Resilient Landscapes to Climate Change in a Megadiverse Country. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Our mapping of terrestrial climate‐resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil identifies sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Landscape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision‐making and public policy on strategies for conservation,

Fish on Fire: Shifts in Amazonian fish communities after floodplain forest fires

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1637-1646, August 2023., 2023
Amazonian fish communities change after floodplain forest fires. Unburnt forests have diverse fish communities, with a large proportion of unique and small omnivorous species. In contrast, carnivores and detritivores become more common in fire scars and white‐sand savannas formed after forest fires. Less omnivore fish after forest fires can reduce tree

Spatiotemporal trends in floral visitation and interaction networks reveal shifting niches for bats in a Neotropical savanna

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 1442-1455, July 2023., 2023
The article reveals that the temporal and spatial axes are important drivers of the floral‐visitor niche of anthophilous bats in a Neotropical savanna, defining the structure of their interaction networks with plants. These findings may aid in the management of the endangered Cerrado bat Lonchophylla dekeyseri. Abstract Flower‐vising bats are important

Forest structure predicts species richness and functional diversity in Amazonian mixed‐species bird flocks

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 467-479, March 2023., 2023
We show that vegetation structure can predict species richness and functional diversity in Amazonian mixed‐species flocks in primary and secondary forests. In addition, we show that secondary forest flocks retain a large percentage of the functional diversity exhibited by their primary forest counterparts. Abstract Secondary forest has the potential to

Effects of time since invasion and control actions on a coastal ecosystem invaded by non‐native pine trees

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.
