Development of Microsatellite Markers for Ex Situ Management of the Harpy Eagle Using Next Generation Sequencing

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), one of the largest birds of prey in the world, is threatened with extinction throughout its entire area of occurrence in the Neotropics. While conservation efforts for the wild populations are crucial, it is also important to focus on ex situ conservation actions.

Is the social wasp fauna in the tree canopy different from the understory? Study of a particular area in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest

Sociobiology, 2019
Most studies about the insect community in rainforests only focus on the forest understory, and even though the rainforest canopy is one of the most fascinating and diverse environments, it remains poorly explored.

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests. [PDF]

, 2019
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence

Ecology of the Seed Bank in the Amazon Rainforest

, 2021
The seed bank is directly related to forest resilience because it contributes to the greatest number of regenerants after the occurrence of disturbances. Changes in seed density, floristic composition, and life forms completely alter the successional trajectory of forest environments. These changes are directly related to land use.

The Importance of Environmental Heterogeneity in Evaluating the Conservation Status of Two Frog Species in a Changing Amazonian Interfluve

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Identifying the most effective criterion to assess the conservation status of vulnerable species in threatened tropical regions is crucial to evaluate recovery plans. We investigated the influence of environmental heterogeneity on the extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupied habitat (AOH), and density variation of two Amazonian riparian frog ...
