Socioecology and Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Quilombolas Living in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

Am J Hum Biol
ABSTRACT Objectives This cross‐sectional study presents socioecological, epidemiological aspects, and the seroprevalence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in a group of quilombola (afro‐derived) communities in the states of Pará and Tocantins, in the Brazilian Amazon, to evaluate the impact ...

Forest citizens and people-centered conservation in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Demands for territorial recognition are foundational to the claiming of rights by forest‐proximate people who attempt to conserve their forests. The rights of these often‐marginalized populations have been largely overlooked by conservationists, yet they are central to achieving people‐centered conservation. We further developed the concept of

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Including the urbanization gradient in people-centered wildlife conservation in Amazonia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Conservation policy in the Amazon traditionally focuses on rural areas, overlooking the socioecological roles of urban populations. This oversight can hinder sustainability by neglecting rural–urban connections. We compared the prevalence and quantity of wild meat consumed, bartered, and traded commercially in rural, peri‐urban, and urban ...

Scale dependency of conservation outcomes in a forest-offsetting scheme. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2020
Abstract Offset schemes help avoid or revert habitat loss through protection of existing habitat (avoided deforestation), through the restoration of degraded areas (natural regrowth), or both. The spatial scale of an offset scheme may influence which of these 2 outcomes is favored and is an important aspect of the scheme's design.

Enhancement of conservation knowledge through increased access to botanical information. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2019
Abstract Herbarium specimens are increasingly recognized as an important resource for conservation science and virtual herbaria are making specimens freely available to a wider range of users than ever before. Few virtual herbaria are designed with conservation use as a primary driver. Exceptionally, Brazil's Reflora Virtual Herbarium (RVH) was created

Riparian reserves protect butterfly communities in selectively logged tropical forest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1524-1535, June 2022., 2022
Mandatory conservation set‐asides around streams or rivers (riparian buffers) have an important role in protecting the abundance and composition of primary forest butterfly assemblages within selective logging concessions in tropical rainforests. This study highlights the need to assess the conservation value of protecting unlogged riparian forest ...
