ABSTRACT Freshwater habitats face significant human disturbances globally, impacting food security and ecosystems. Protected areas can mitigate biodiversity loss, but limited data on population connectivity hinders conservation management. This study examines pirarucu (Arapaima gigas), a heavily exploited and threatened Amazonian fish, using genomic ...

The first pterosaur from the Bauru Group: an azhdarchid from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil
Abstract The vertebrate fossil record of the Bauru Group (Upper Cretaceous, southeastern Brazil) is remarkably rich, with a predominance of titanosaurs and crocodyliforms, alongside theropods, turtles, squamates, fishes and even small mammals. In contrast, pterosaur remains from the Bauru Group have remained elusive until now.

Opportunities for Translational Water Research in Global Biodiversity Conservation
Abstract Academic researchers and practitioners in water resources disciplines are calling for solution‐oriented and actionable hydrological science, recently encompassed by the term translational water research (TWR). Here, we argue that the interdisciplinary field of biodiversity conservation science (also known as conservation biology) presents ...

On Northeast Brazil Orographic Enhanced Rainfall and Monsoon Dynamics
We provide an updated rainfall climatology (1990–2020) for Northeast Brazil which discusses the role of orographically enhanced rainfall and monsoon dynamics on this climate system. Our work presents strong evidence that this continental‐scale region is under a more extensive influence of the South American Monsoon System than previously described ...

A new angiosperm from the Crato Formation (Araripe Basin, Brazil) and comments on the Early Cretaceous Monocotyledons [PDF]
The Crato Formation paleoflora is one of the few equatorial floras of the Early Cretaceous. It is diverse, with many angiosperms, especially representatives of the clades magnoliids, monocotyledons and eudicots, which confirms the assumption that angiosperm diversity during the last part of the Early Cretaceous was reasonably high.

Abstract The Caatinga is the largest patch of Seasonal Dry Tropical Forest in the Neotropics, located in northeastern Brazil and characterized mainly by deciduous vegetation and extreme rainfall seasonality. It has historically been treated as a biologically impoverished domain, but recent studies uncovered new diversification patterns and several new ...
