Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

“Women Enlace”: Interweaving Women to Make Collective Action Possible
ABSTRACT This study engages with the contemporary debate on women's collective action through the lens of commons governance. Drawing on the theory of collective action in the management of common‐pool resources (CPRs) and on feminist ethnography with a group of rural extractivist women in the Cerrado—a vast tropical savanna biome in Brazil's Central ...

Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.
