Living in a fragmented world: Birds in the Atlantic Forest

The Condor, 2020
The Atlantic Forest is the second largest tropical moist forest domain in South America after the Amazon, home to over 800 bird species (223 endemics or 27% of the avifauna).

Phylogenetic dynamics of Tropical Atlantic Forests

Evolutionary Ecology, 2021
Environment and plant interactions are important drivers of forest community assembly and dynamics. This study explored how forest dynamics influence the phylogenetic structure of Tropical Atlantic Forests. We hypothesized that: (a) maximum diameter and maximum height are conserved traits within the phylogenetic lineages; (b) the set of dead large ...

Comprehensive conservation assessments reveal high extinction risks across Atlantic Forest trees

Science
Biodiversity is declining globally, yet many biodiversity hotspots still lack comprehensive species conservation assessments. Using multiple International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria to evaluate extinction risks and millions

Camera trapping arboreal mammals in Argentina’s Atlantic Forest

Mammalia, 2022
Abstract Canopy camera trapping is being increasingly used to characterize assemblages of arboreal mammals. In this study we compared, for the first time, the assemblage of arboreal mammals of the Atlantic Forest, surveyed using canopy camera trapping at two protected areas of Misiones, Argentina: Piñalito (11 camera-trap stations) and ...

Stability of Atlantic kelp forests

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988
plants. The Nova Scotian kelp forest thinned out over the winter as kelp blades eroded and, presumably, as plants were dislodged during winter storms. Rapid kelp growth and recruitment resulted in the closure of the canopy shortly after. Surprisingly, there was no effect of understory seaweeds on the recruitment of L.

Primates of the Atlantic Forest

1996
The Atlantic forest extends from the north-east of Brazil, state of Rio Grande do Norte, and including inland forests (brejos) in the state of Ceara, south along eastern Brazil, through the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, into the northeastern tip of Argentina in the province of Misiones and between the Rios Parana, Uruguai and Iguacu.

The vanishing Brazilian Atlantic forest

Biological Conservation, 1985
Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic forest constitutes a unique biome characterised by a high species diversity and a high level of endemism. A long history of land clearing for crops, pastures, timber and firewood has resulted in over two centuries of widespread destruction. Today, less than 6·8% of the total area of the Atlantic forest of Minas Gerais

Aridity, soil and biome stability influence plant ecoregions in the Atlantic Forest, a biodiversity hotspot in South America

Ecography, 2019
Our aims were to quantify and map the plant ecoregions of the Atlantic Forest, a biodiversity hotspot that covers ca 150 million ha in eastern South America.

Spectral variability of atlantic forest species

2013 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS, 2013
This paper investigates the spectral variability of Brazilian Atlantic Forest trees. Spectroscopy data (reflectance and transmittance) of full sunlight leaves were collected. The root mean square difference between pairs of spectra were used to estimate within- and between-species variability.

Vodún, Spirited Forests, and the African Atlantic Forest Complex

Journal of Africana Religions, 2020
Abstract Vodún has been described as indefinable, endlessly flexible, and borderless. In this paper, I develop an analytical framework for understanding global Vodún, thereby challenging claims that Vodún is, at its core, inexplicable. To accomplish this, I combine over a decade of ethnographic research in Bénin and Haiti with my status ...
