A Brazilian anuran (Hylodes magalhaesi: Leptodactylidae) infected by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis: a conservation concern [PDF]
Several studies have associated the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis with anuran population declines worldwide. To date, the fungus has been found in Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe.

Preliminary inventory of the anuran fauna of the Mata Estrela Private Natural Heritage Reserve, in the Atlantic Forest of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil [PDF]
Tropical regions harbor the highest amphibian biodiversity, nevertheless, information on species composition is lacking in most areas yet these baseline data are essential to guide conservation strategies.

Atlantic mammal traits: a dataset of morphological traits of mammals in the atlantic forest of south America [PDF]
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.

Functional Traits Explain Amphibian Distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Aim: Species distributions are one of the most important ways to understand how communities interact through macroecological relationships. The functional abilities of a species, such as its plasticity in various environments, can determine its ...

Anurofauna of a remnant of Atlantic Forest in northeast Brazil [PDF]
Studies on spatial occupation are fundamental to understand amphibian communities. The aim of this study was to record information on the spatial distribution of anurans in the Tejipió forest, state of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. Fieldwork was carried out weekly between October 2011 and April 2012, with daytime and night-time excursions for time ...

Using Unsupervised and Supervised Learning and Digital Twin for Deep Convective Ice Storm Classification [PDF]
Smart Ice Cloud Sensing (SMICES) is a small-sat concept in which a primary radar intelligently targets ice storms based on information collected by a lookahead radiometer. Critical to the intelligent targeting is accurate identification of storm/cloud types from eight bands of radiance collected by the radiometer. The cloud types of interest are: clear

First record of the occurrence of Partamona ailyae Camargo (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Atlantic Forest [PDF]
This is the first record of the stingless bee Partamona ailyae Camargo, 1980 in an area of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. The morphological identification and COI and 12S sequences indicated that the samples collected in the Atlantic Forest and other ...

Ocean Wind Wave Climate Responses to Wintertime North Atlantic Atmospheric Transient Eddies and Low Frequency Flow [PDF]
Atmospheric transient eddies and low-frequency flow contribution to the ocean surface wave climate in the North Atlantic during boreal winter is investigated (1980 - 2016). We conduct a set of numerical simulations with a state-of-the-art spectral wave model Wavewatch III forced by decomposed wind fields derived from the ERA-Interim reanalysis (0.7 ...

What can Palms tell us about vegetation history in Central Africa? The case of Phoenix reclinata Jacq. within the African palms [PDF]
The Palms (Arecaceae/Palmae) are a characteristic tropical rain forest plant family with a rather important presence in African savannas. Constant diversification has occurred within the family for 100 million years, and started at northern latitudes in ...
