AS DIFERENTES ABORDAGENS UTILIZADAS PARA DEFINIR BREJOS DE ALTITUDE, ÁREAS DE EXCEÇÃO DO NORDESTE BRASILEIRO

Sociedade e Território, 2020
A Região Geográfica Nordeste do Brasil é muito heterogênea no tocante às condições ambientais, predominando em seu interior as paisagens e os processos naturais associados a um clima semiárido. Fazem parte desse espaço, entretanto, áreas ambientais de exceção, como os Brejos de Altitude, condicionados pela topografia mais elevada, expressão espacial ...

Amid the fallen leaves: Intense collecting in the Northern Atlantic Forest reveals new minute harvestmen species (Opiliones: Stygnidae) within the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Stygnids represent one of the most diverse harvestman families, with many endemic species in the Area of Endemism of Pernambuco, a pattern increasingly evident by intensified sampling in the region over the years. The area is also recognised for hosting a group of understudied minute leaf‐litter dwellers stygnids, represented by the following ...

Blowin' in the Wind: Ferns and Lycophytes Connect Biogeographic Refuges in the Atlantic Forest

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Test the floristic structure of fern and lycophyte in the Northeastern Atlantic Forest based on the two sub‐regions of endemism, (1) montane inland wet forests and (2) Coastal Forests. Location Northeastern Brazil's Atlantic Forest, particularly the Coastal and Montane inland wet forests. Taxon Ferns and lycophytes.

Origins and Diversification of the Caatinga Dry Forest Endemic Avifauna

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2025.
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

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 45, Issue 10, August 2025.
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 ...

A subfamília Byttnerioideae (Malvaceae) em um brejo de altitude no Alto Sertão paraibano

, 2018
O Brejo de Boqueirão abrange os municípios de Cajazeiras e São José de Piranhas, Paraíba, e embora seja uma área prioritária para a conservação da biodiversidade, sua diversidade florística ainda é pouco conhecida. Além disso, a pressão antrópica sofrida tem desconfigurado sua paisagem natural dando lugar a monocultura.

Knowledge leads to protection: anuran composition and conservation of the ‘Brejos de altitude’ of Northeastern Brazil

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment
The ‘Brejos de altitude’ (BA) are mountains that harbor rich biodiversity, including endemic and threatened species. However, some of them remain understudied, suffering high anthropogenic pressures. To verify the composition, richness, conservation status, and biogeographic patterns, we compiled information about the anurans from 16 BA in Northeastern

Assessing the current distribution and potential habitat availability for Kaempfer's tody‐tyrant: a restricted‐range and threatened species from the Atlantic Rainforest

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
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.

Geoconservação em brejos de altitude: o Parque Estadual Mata do Pau Ferro

Nature and Conservation, 2017
No Estado da Paraíba, existem inúmeras localidades com grande potencial de turismo ecológico. Muitos desses locais se constituem em Unidades de Conservação, especialmente no tocante aos Parques Estaduais, que servem de espaço de lazer e para práticas de ecoturismo. Porém, existem vários problemas envolvendo o uso e ocupação dessas áreas, tais como: uso
