Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Bromeliad selection by two salamander species in a harsh environment.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bromeliad phytotelmata are frequently used by several Neotropical amphibian taxa, possibly due to their high humidity, microclimatic stability, and role as a refuge from predators.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Spatial projections revealed high‐risk areas for YF transmission, highlighting priority zones for targeted vaccination efforts in GLTs. By integrating disease ecology into conservation planning, this study offers a scalable framework for spatially informed interventions aimed at mitigating disease‐driven declines in threatened species.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Beta diversity analyses clarify mechanisms structuring ecological communities, but their multidimensional facets remain poorly explored in arthropods. Here, we quantified taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional beta diversity in scorpions, partitioned these facets into species replacement and richness differences, and evaluated the ...

The choice of bromeliads as a microhabitat by Scinax argyreornatus (Anura, Hylidae)
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe association of anurans to bromeliads presents different degrees of interaction such as: eventual, obligatory and bromeligen. The frog species Scinax argyreornatus shows a regular association with these plants.

Inferences on Frog Responses to Forest Cover Depend on Sampling Method and Reproductive Mode
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Sampling choices can bias assessments of biodiversity responses to habitat loss, compromising conservation strategies in vulnerable ecosystems such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the efficiency of three frog sampling methods (active search, plot sampling, and pitfall traps) across Atlantic Forest remnants to estimate species ...

PLoS ONE, 2018 Reproductive site selection is a key determinant of fitness in many taxa. However, if the site characteristics that enhance offspring survival are detrimental to the parent's survival or mating success, then complex evolutionary trade-offs occur.
