Can landscape management provide disease regulation services? A case study of Brazilian spotted fever incidence

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Policy implications. Our results can help prioritize surveillance strategies and the implementation of preventive measures, particularly in areas where landscape structures cannot provide disease regulation services. Landscape management actions aimed at increasing the amount of forest areas in a more aggregated manner could help restore those ...

BAT ASSEMBLAGE OF THE MARUMBI PEAK STATE PARK, BRAZILIAN ATLANTIC RAINFOREST

Mastozoología Neotropical, 2018
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The great biological diversity found in tropical forests has intrigued scientists for a long time. In this study, we used a bi-dimensional niche matrix to explain the coexistence of bat species in a Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest locality. Bats were caught with a set of mist nets and manually.

Functional Diversity Responses to Temperature Vary Spatially and With Protection Status in Wintering Waterbird Assemblages

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using > 45,000 waterbird censuses at 2792 European sites, we found functional diversity has increased over time and in warmer winters, but functional redundancy has declined. Ramsar and Special Protection Area sites had the greatest increase in functional richness but the greatest decline in functional redundancy in warmer winters, especially further ...

Simulating atmospheric composition over a South-East Asian tropical rainforest: performance of a chemistry box model [PDF]

, 2010
Atmospheric composition and chemistry above tropical rainforests is currently not well established, particularly for south-east Asia. In order to examine our understanding of chemical processes in this region, the performance of a box model of ...

Impacts of Species Introductions on the Trait Diversity of Interacting Avian Frugivores and Fleshy‐Fruited Plants Depend on Native Trait Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.

Infection of Amblyomma ovale by Rickettsia sp. strain Atlantic rainforest, Colombia

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2014
Our goal was to understand rickettsial spotted fevers' circulation in areas of previous outbreaks reported from 2006 to 2008 in Colombia. We herein present molecular identification and isolation of Rickettsia sp. Atlantic rainforest strain from Amblyomma ovale ticks, a strain shown to be pathogenic to humans.

Systematics and Historical Biogeography of Neotropical Tarantulas: A Genomic Approach to Dolichothele (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Diversification Across Domains

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Neotropical region is the most biodiverse in the world, and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain this pattern. Among them, the most prominent are the hypotheses of biotic interchange between domains, climatic refugia during the Pleistocene and geomorphological changes during the Miocene, such as the reorganization of the ...
