Tropical dry woodland loss occurs disproportionately in areas of highest conservation value

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 17, Page 4880-4897, September 2023., 2023
Tropical and subtropical dry woodlands are crucial for biodiversity and carbon storage, yet they face high deforestation pressures. We investigated the interplay of deforestation frontiers, protected areas, Indigenous Peoples' lands and conservation priorities in these woodlands.

Connecting businesses and biodiversity conservation through community organizing: The case of babassu breaker women in Brazil

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 2618-2634, July 2022., 2022
Abstract We investigate the role of community organizing in connecting business activities and biodiversity conservation. We draw from a unique setting in the Brazilian Amazônia Legal (Legal Amazon)—the traditional community of quebradeiras de coco do babaçu (babassu nut breaking women), or quebradeiras—to show how this community connects the ...

Contrasting patterns of phylogenetic turnover in amphibians and reptiles are driven by environment and geography in Neotropical savannas

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 2008-2021, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Cross‐taxonomic congruence in biodiversity patterns is key to understanding the main drivers of community structure, for biogeographical regionalization and to guide conservation. We aim to map the patterns of phylogenetic turnover and disentangle the geographical and environmental factors that drive the phylogenetic composition of ...

A comparison of the physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of indaiá (Attalea dubia) and Babassu (Orbignya phalerata) oils. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal, 2012
The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of Attalea dubia (Mart.) Burret (indaiá) seed oil were investigated. The oil was extracted in a soxhlet apparatus using petroleum ether and evaluated for iodine, acid, peroxide, ester, and saponification values. The oil was also analyzed using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
