Evaluating the sustainability of mineral water consumption using multi‐scale hydrogeophysics in Caxambu, Brazil

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract A better understanding of the near‐surface aquifer system of the Caxambu Water Park, located in the Minas Gerais State, Brazil, has been achieved. The study aimed to identify groundwater reservoirs and flow patterns and contribute to the hydrogeological conceptual model using a multi‐scale geophysical approach.

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Fish loss in tropical coastal ecosystems can jeopardise nutrient supply to traditional fishing communities: A case study from Northeast Brazil

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fisheries constitute one of the major benefits that oceans provide for people. Yet anthropogenic pressures and global changes are disrupting coastal systems, eroding marine biodiversity and threatening the food security of traditional populations.

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.
