Conserving Brazil's Atlantic forests [PDF]
Science, 2014 In their Report “Using ecological thresholds to evaluate the costs and benefits of set-asides in a biodiversity hotspot” (29 August, p. [1041][1]), C. Banks-Leite et al. calculate that Brazil could protect the most biodiverse 30% of its 143 million hectares of endangered Atlantic forests ...

Suboptimal host tree benefits the overwintering of a destructive forest insect pest
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Winter represents a stressful period for many organisms, and terrestrial insects are particularly susceptible to adverse thermal conditions. However, exposure to thermal stress and its effects on insect survival and performance can be modulated by ...

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

Turnover rates of regenerated forests challenge restoration efforts in the Brazilian Atlantic forest
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Natural forest regeneration is a key component of global ecosystem restoration scenarios. Regenerated forests, however, may not persist and a better understanding of the drivers of forest persistence is critical to ensure the success of restoration ...

The prey of the Harpy Eagle in its last reproductive refuges in the Atlantic Forest
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) is threatened with extinction throughout its distribution in the neotropical forests. In the Atlantic Forest, deforestation has reduced the number of suitable habitats, with only a few remnant forest fragments hosting ...

Thermophilic fungi in Araucaria Forest, Atlantic Forest Biome, Brazil
Anais 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 ...
