Improving efficiency in conservation planning by modeling species‐specific responses to threat abatement

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reversing ongoing biodiversity loss requires effectively managing anthropogenic threats. Although conservation actions can mitigate these threats, prioritizing and targeting such actions remain challenging because species respond differently depending on the nature of the threats and their biological traits.

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Entangling and Coalescing on Social Media: A Study of Issue Boundary Spanning in Movement of Movements

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how issues across boundaries influence contention dynamics in a movement of movements on social media. Participants utilize social media to support or oppose goals and actions related to their visions regarding societal changes. As the boundaries of movements are fluid on social media, we investigate the actors' identities,

Yellow Fever Virus in Mosquitoes from Rainforest Bordering Manaus, Brazil, 2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We detected yellow fever virus in Haemagogus mosquitoes collected in 2022 in an Amazon rainforest bordering Manaus, Brazil. The viral genome sequence occupied a basal position within the South American I genotype 1E lineage.

Seasonal dynamics of fish diversity and assemblage composition in temporary pools of a protected Atlantic Forest area

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Atlantic Forest is one of the top five biodiversity hotspots on the planet and is considered a global priority for conservation, largely due to extensive human‐driven deforestation. Temporary pools in the Atlantic Forest harbour unique and vulnerable fish assemblages, yet remain poorly studied, particularly within protected areas.

‘Let's Go to the Land Instead’: Indigenous Perspectives on Biodiversity and the Possibilities of Regenerative Capital

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The land has been a source of capital accumulation since colonization through extractive activities like mining and industrial agriculture. Indigenous peoples have profoundly different relationships with the land, which are more relational than extractive. However, their knowledge has been subjugated by and systematically excluded from Western

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Nursery light environments shape planting‐stock phenotype in Copaifera langsdorffii for forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Scaling ecological restoration in the Amazon requires a reliable supply of native planting stock, yet nursery environments can strongly shape seedling phenotypes and species‐specific guidance remains limited. For late‐successional tropical trees, understanding how manageable nursery conditions coordinate growth and biomass ...

Chain Reactions: How Businesses Plan to Respond to the EU Deforestation Regulation in Brazil, the Congo Basin, and Europe

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2023 European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐free Products (EUDR) is a transnational regulation aimed at addressing forest loss along the value chains of forest‐risk commodities. Grounding our analysis in new institutional theory with distinct behavioral drivers explaining actor behavior, and using qualitative methods, we draw on the ...
