Influence of habitat heterogeneity on anuran diversity in Restinga landscapes of the Parnaíba River delta, northeastern Brazil

open access: yesZooKeys, 2018
Anurans have close associations with environmental conditions and therefore represent an interesting vertebrate group for examining how resource availability and environmental variables influence species diversity.

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...

Beyond the Paddy Fields: Riparian Reed Beds as Essential Natural Habitat for the Critically Endangered Suweon Treefrog, Dryophytes suweonensis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The Suweon treefrog (Dryophytes suweonensis (Kuramoto, 1980)), a critically endangered amphibian endemic to the Korean Peninsula, is widely regarded as being closely associated with rice paddies.

Exploring Cultural and Individual Differences in the Hierarchy of Moral Concern: Evidence From Student Samples Across 41 Cultural Groups

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many important historical and contemporary ethical debates (e.g., on slavery, abortion and environmental protection) reflect disagreements about what we owe to different groups of individuals. Recent work in moral psychology has uncovered a seemingly replicable hierarchy of moral concern, but these studies were conducted in a few countries ...

Improved Power Tracking and Performance Evaluation Using a Tri‐Meta Hybrid DOA–CSA–WOA‐Based MPPT Controller for Standalone PV System

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A Tri‐Meta Hybrid DOA–CSA–WOA Maximum Power Point Tracking controller is developed to enhance photovoltaic system performance. The proposed approach achieves higher tracking efficiency, faster convergence, and robust operation under dynamic irradiance and partial shading conditions.

Comparing Transcriptomic Responses to Chemicals Across Six Species Using the EcoToxChip RNASeq Database

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

Dero (Allodero) lutzi Michaelsen, 1926 (Oligochaeta: Naididae) associated with Scinax fuscovarius (Lutz, 1925) (Anura: Hylidae) from Semi-deciduous Atlantic Rain Forest, southern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Amphibians are hosts for a wide variety of ecto- and endoparasites, such as protozoans and parasitic worms. Naididae is a family of Oligochaeta whose species live on a wide range of substrates, including mollusks, aquatic macrophytes, sponges, mosses ...

Anuran detection probabilities and stream occupancy estimates.

open access: yes, 2019
Detection probabilities and stream occupancy estimates (with standard errors) of each anuran species in the sampling periods of 1998–1999 (dark grey) and 2015–2016 (light grey). * = significant differences at the level of p < 0.05.

Rethinking Environmental Impact Assessment for nature positive development

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Achieving “nature positive” development within existing regulatory frameworks will be challenging. Halting and reversing biodiversity loss requires protection, restoration, and enhancement of ecosystems alongside a fundamental shift in how biodiversity is valued and quantifiable improvements are assessed.
