Primates of the Atlantic Forest
1996The 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.

Deforestation and bird extinctions in the Atlantic forest
Animal Conservation, 1999AbstractThe Atlantic forests of South America hold a great concentration of biodiversity, but most of this habitat has been destroyed. We therefore expect many species to become extinct, and yet no bird extinctions have conclusively been recorded. There could be three explanations for this.

Phylogenetic dynamics of Tropical Atlantic Forests
Evolutionary Ecology, 2021Environment 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 ...

Stability of Atlantic kelp forests
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988plants. 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.

The vanishing Brazilian Atlantic forest
Biological Conservation, 1985Abstract 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

Financing Conservation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
2021The Atlantic Forest is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, due to a long term process of deforestation that must be reversed. Financial resources are necessary to foster the protection of remaining forests and restore the native habitats. This paper presents some alternatives to finance the conservation of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil and some ...

Fishes of the southeastern Brazil Atlantic Forest
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2014The largest preserved areas of Atlantic Forest are located in the southeastern region of Brazil. Estuaries, mangroves, rivers and streams are home to a community of fish that is still poorly understood. The composition of fish species and their relationships with environmental conditions were used to identify homogeneous areas within a landscape of 33 ...

Vodún, Spirited Forests, and the African Atlantic Forest Complex
Journal of Africana Religions, 2020Abstract 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 ...

Fine litterfall in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Biotropica, 2017AbstractLitterfall is an essential component of tropical forest productivity, transferring nutrients from the vegetation back to soils. Here, we summarize the data from 105 estimates of fine litterfall production from 45 sites in the Atlantic Forest domain, including two types of forests, evergreen and seasonal, and two successional stages, secondary ...
