Functional diversity drives leaf decomposition across rainfall–disturbance gradients, but phylogenetic effects vary

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Plant functional traits driving ecosystem functioning can have either similar or distinct evolutionary histories, meaning that both functional and phylogenetic diversity can jointly influence ecosystem dynamics. However, the relative importance of this relationship depends on the environmental context.

CAATINGA DO CARIRI PARAIBANO

open access: yesGeonomos, 2013
potencial de regeneração, porém, seus mecanismos de autodefesa tornam-se consideravelmente vulneráveis as condições que lhes são impostas. Os processos morfoclimáticos típicos do meio semi-árido, com suas estações contrastadas e as degradações antrópicas, são responsáveis por um dinamismo da vegetação em que a caatinga raquítica e rala representa um ...

A New Species of Myriopus (Heliotropiaceae) From Brazil

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A new species of Myriopus (Heliotropiaceae), Myriopus chrysocalyx J.I.M. Melo & L.G. Sá, hitherto recorded for the Brazilian Northeastern is described and illustrated. Myriopus chrysocalyx can be readily recognized by its branches strigose to villous, and, mainly, for presenting leaf blade chartaceous to subfleshy, congested inflorescences, a ...

Research Trends on Trace Element Contamination in Brazilian Urban Lentic Ecosystems: Environmental and Policy Drivers

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Lentic ecosystems are vulnerable to contamination by trace elements, which can accumulate and pose risks to aquatic life and human health. In a large, developing country such as Brazil, marked by vast geographic, environmental, and socioeconomic diversity, it is crucial to understand how these factors shape research on this group of ...

AUMENTO DA MESOFAUNA EDÁFICA RESULTANTE DO ESTABELECIMENTO DE ÁRVORES E EXCLUSÃO DE ANIMAIS EM UM SÍTIO DEGRADADO DE CAATINGA

open access: yes, 2022
Environmental degradation impacts negatively the diversity and quantity of invertebrates living in the soil, mainly in semiarid regions. Generally, a high diversity of invertebrates indicates good biofunctionality and sustainable use of the soil.

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Strategies for dry forest recovery: Fifteen years of Caribbean experimentation across scales

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Slow recovery of degraded Caribbean dry tropical forests can be accelerated by combining herbivore removal at landscape scales with enrichment planting of rare tree species under the cover of remnant forest patches. Long‐legacy effects on soils and forest taxonomical and functional diversity require long‐term management and community engagement ...
