Origins and Diversification of the Caatinga Dry Forest Endemic Avifauna
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the geographic origin of lineages is critical to comprehending their biogeographical and evolutionary histories and the historical connections among biomes. In northeastern Brazil, the Caatinga dry forest represents the largest and most biologically diverse patch of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest in the Neotropics.

On Northeast Brazil Orographic Enhanced Rainfall and Monsoon Dynamics
We provide an updated rainfall climatology (1990–2020) for Northeast Brazil which discusses the role of orographically enhanced rainfall and monsoon dynamics on this climate system. Our work presents strong evidence that this continental‐scale region is under a more extensive influence of the South American Monsoon System than previously described ...

Alterações microclimáticas em área de Brejo de Altitude associadas a influência do desmatamento
As atividades humanas têm resultado em desmatamento e consequências ambientais, tais como: alterações na qualidade da água, diminuição da biodiversidade e aumento da poluição. A restauração dessas áreas degradadas é crucial para recuperar a integridade do ecossistema.

Os brejos de altitude são unidades biogeográficas peculiares pois são um conjunto de áreas de florestas úmidas rodeadas por vegetação xerófila típica de Caatinga. O objetivo deste trabalho foi observar a influência das alterações ambientais na produção das culturas tradicionais no município de Garanhuns, utilizando para isso dados pluviométricos ...

Human disturbances are threatening biodiversity worldwide, and species with restricted geographic distribution or small population sizes are more likely to become extinct. The prevention of extinctions is an urgent matter and knowledge on the ecology and distribution of threatened species is required to outline conservation strategies.

ABSTRACT Aim Climate change represents one of the main threats to global biodiversity, and such alterations are expected to induce shifts in distribution ranges and diversity patterns. We evaluate if protected areas and forest remnants in the Atlantic Forest in South America (AF) are projected to ensure the taxonomic diversity (TD) and phylogenetic ...

Paisagem urbana, vulnerabilidade e risco em brejos de altitude: o sítio urbano de Areia/PB
A expansão urbana nos países subdesenvolvidos pode se tornar um problema catastrófico quando acontece em terrenos ambientalmente instáveis. A geomorfologia urbana é a ciência que estuda os sítios urbanos pelo viés das características do relevo e suas interrelações com outros componentes da paisagem, como o clima, meteorologia, geologia, vegetação e uso

Vertebrate taxonomic and functional hotspots in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Abstract Aim We aim to find the main drivers of the taxonomic and functional richness and functional dispersion of vertebrates (amphibians, birds, primates, marsupials, rodents, bats and medium‐ and large‐sized mammals) across the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
