Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

How do males of Hypsiboas goianus (Hylidae: Anura) respond to conspecific acoustic stimuli?
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2015 Acoustic communication plays an important role in the social behavior of anurans. Acoustic signals, which can be used in different contexts such as mate attraction and territory defense, may mediate social interactions among individuals.

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transnational due diligence regulations, such as the European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐Free Products (EUDR), are reshaping sustainability governance by transforming voluntary norms into binding global rules. Yet, their effectiveness depends on how well they align with domestic governance systems and on the power asymmetries that ...

Conservation effectiveness of seven biosphere reserves in the Western Amazon
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.As deforestation continues to threaten the Amazon, assessing the effectiveness of area‐based conservation strategies is critical for achieving global biodiversity targets. Using matching methods, we evaluated deforestation avoidance in seven biosphere reserves in the Western Amazon and found that most have reduced forest loss, particularly in buffer ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Hydrologic changes driven by climate change are affecting aquatic biota in the Neotropical Region, with significant impacts on water striders. Species distribution models predict an increase in conservation importance for the northern Andes and coastal areas of eastern South America, while central South America shows a decline. The observed changes are

Ibis, EarlyView.The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Catfishes of the subfamily Trichomycterinae comprise the most diverse fish group with species adapted to live in Neotropical caves, but past evolutionary scenarios that have driven the origin of these troglobitic species remain unknown. We herein investigate the phylogenetic position of the cave‐restricted Trichomycterus rubbioli, endemic to ...
