Frog Diversity in Central Amazonian Macrophyte Beds: The Role of Local Environmental Gradients
Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Ecological assemblages can be shaped by neutral, niche‐based processes, or a combination of both. Understanding the influence of these processes and evaluating diversity measures based on taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic metrics on the structure of ecological assemblages can show patterns and unravel community assembly mechanisms ...

The preference for energetic resources is positively associated with predatory activity in ants
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 921-932, October 2025.We found that ants exhibit a stronger preference for foraging for carbohydrates and lipids (energetic nutrients) compared to amino acids. The increase in foraging for energetic nutrients compared to amino acids is positively correlated with foraging in larvae (insect predation). The nutrient preference between foraging for energetic nutrients and amino

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1939-1952, August 2025.Converting primary forest into oil palm plantations results in substantial biodiversity losses, highlighting the urgent need to preserve the few remaining large forest fragments in the area. Measures that enhance matrix permeability are essential to conserving the evolutionary and functional integrity of Amazonian landscapes and mitigating the negative

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.We identified and mapped ecological corridors on a regional scale for the entire upper paragauai basin, which is one of the largest basins in Brazil. Our results were an extensive network of corridors across the basin, as well as identifying areas for better connectivity.

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT The genus Elachistocleis comprises fossorial frogs distributed throughout Central and South America. Despite their wide distribution, species such as Elachistocleis helianneae Caramaschi, 2010 (Anura: Microhylidae) are poorly documented due to their cryptic behaviour. Here, we present the first record of E. helianneae for the western region of
