Inferences on Frog Responses to Forest Cover Depend on Sampling Method and Reproductive Mode
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 ...

Using Tillandsia usneoides as Biomonitor for Toxic Metals in the Air of Guanajuato's Tunnel Network
Guanajuato town is an important touristic center of Mexico, and one of its main attractions is its tunnel network (subterranean streets). In this work the air quality inside this tunnel network was evaluated using samples of Tillandsia usneoides as a ...

Bromeliads in Caatinga: an oasis for invertebrates
The Bromeliaceae family exhibits several adaptations that allow the occurrence of its members in different physiognomies, including the Caatinga. The arrangement of leaves in rosette forms a cistern or tank, in which nutrient-rich water accumulates. This provides a microhabitat for reproduction, feeding, and larval development of many invertebrates ...

How many bromeliads are there?
Summary - In many taxa the expected number of species is still uncertain, hampering conservation, especially in the diverse tropical regions of Earth. Here we use the plant family Bromeliaceae as a model to explore the history and future of species discovery from the ...
