Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

ABSTRACT Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and severe as a consequence of climate change. Their impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and on the atmosphere include the release of gases and ash, as well as enhanced soil susceptibility to erosion and the downstream transport of materials into aquatic systems.

The effect of fire on the carbon fluxes and productivity of Brazilian woodland savannas
The effects of altered fire regimes within open ecosystems are poorly understood and can have serious consequences on functioning and conservation across savanna ecoregions worldwide. In South American savannas like the Cerrado, there is a gap of knowledge relating to carbon cycling in the presence of fire, meaning the impacts of altered fire regimes ...

In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...

Small versus large scale soybean production systems' footprints. ABSTRACT Soybean is increasingly grown in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), produced mainly in small‐scale systems and supplied locally for human consumption. Prospects of large‐scale expansion and intensification, with potential environmental drawbacks, loom and call for a ...

Northern bobwhites associated with native grass and shrubs have improved survival
Survival rates of adult northern bobwhites were improved by a combination of grazed native warm‐season grasses and well‐interspersed shrubs. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands conservation strategy to create habitat ...

Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.
