Use of a Sprayable Sex Pheromone Formulation in Landscape-Level Control of Choristoneura fumiferana Populations

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Choristoneura fumiferana (SBW) is a major defoliating pest of balsam fir and spruce in eastern North America. As part of an integrated management strategy for SBW, we evaluated the effectiveness of mating disruption as a landscape-level population ...

ATLANTIC ANTS: a data set of ants in Atlantic Forests of South America [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2021
AbstractAnts, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used as bioindicators of the ecological impact of land use.

Comparison of intercept trap fluids and aerial spore collectors to survey fungal spores

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Surveillance for early detection of non-native, invasive pathogens requires simple, sturdy, and easy-to-use collecting devices. In this study, we compared the fungal species detected in wet collection cups of Lindgren traps vs.

The flowering of Atlantic Forest Pleroma trees [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
AbstractMapping the spatial distribution of a plant is a current challenge in ecology. Here, a convolutional neural network (CNN) and 33,798 Sentinel-2 satellite images were used to detect and map forest stands dominated by trees of the genusPleromaby their magenta-to-deep-purple blossoms in the entire Brazilian Atlantic Forest domain, from June 2016 ...

Social Insects of the Atlantic Forest

open access: yes, 2021
Despite the outstanding diversity and ecological relevance of social insects in most terrestrial ecosystems, current knowledge of these insects in the Atlantic Forest is still somewhat dispersed in literature. In this chapter, we offer an overview covering the origin, evolution, diversity, functional composition, and distribution of all the eusocial ...

Thermophilic fungi in Araucaria Forest, Atlantic Forest Biome, Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Thermophilic fungi constitute an ecologically well-defined group, commonly found in environments wherever decomposition of organic matter takes place, making them self-heating. The importance of thermophilic fungus in ecosystems contrasts with the incompleteness of our understanding of the group's biogeography patterns, phylogenies and coevolution ...

Markedly Divergent Tree Assemblage Responses to Tropical Forest Loss and Fragmentation across a Strong Seasonality Gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We examine the effects of forest fragmentation on the structure and composition of tree assemblages within three seasonal and aseasonal forest types of southern Brazil, including evergreen, Araucaria, and deciduous forests.
