Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Amazonian forests impacted by humans have a reduced and different group of tree species than those forests that have never been impacted. The trees present in forests impacted by humans also have different evolutionary histories and functional characteristics.

Estimating the Effective Population Size Across Space and Time in the Critically Endangered Western Chimpanzee in Guinea‐Bissau: Challenges and Implications for Conservation Management

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) is a Critically Endangered taxon. In Guinea‐Bissau (GB), the subspecies is increasingly threatened, but there is a lack of understanding regarding the degree of genetic threat faced by populations.

Microbial drivers of root plasticity

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Surviving in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation: Richness and Defaunation of Mammals in Priority‐Protected Areas of the Brazilian Midwest

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.

Filling Gap and Geographic Distribution Map of Elachistocleis helianneae Caramaschi, 2010 (Amphibia: Anura: Microhylidae)

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The genus Elachistocleis comprises fossorial frogs distributed throughout Central and South America. Despite their wide distribution, species such as Elachistocleis helianneae Caramaschi, 2010 (Anura: Microhylidae) are poorly documented due to their cryptic behaviour. Here, we present the first record of E. helianneae for the western region of

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 562-589, May 2025.
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Successful recovery of native plants post‐invasive removal in forest understories is driven by native community features

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2025.
Abstract Temperate forest understories hold the majority of the plant diversity present in these ecosystems and play an essential role in the recruitment and establishment of native trees. However, the long‐term persistence of diverse and functional forest understories is threatened by the impacts of invasive plants.

Descrição e fatores modeladores da dieta e ecologia da alimentação de girinos neotropicais: Um estudo de caso e uma revisão abrangente

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2024.
Resumo Os girinos são componentes importantes de muitas teias alimentares aquáticas, pois influenciam as populações em outros níveis tróficos e, consequentemente, a transferência de energia entre os ecossistemas aquáticos e terrestres. O que os girinos consomem é um fator chave para suas funções ecológicas. As assembleias de anuros neotropicais incluem

Skin microbiome disturbance linked to drought‐associated amphibian disease

Ecology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2024.
Amphibian skin bacteria are known to play an important role in inhibiting the widespread fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We monitored a population of pumpkin toadlets in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest throughout a short‐term drought and investigated links between skin microbiome health, pathogen susceptibility and host mortality ...

Etnografia Urbana, um campo de conhecimento interdisciplinar?

, 2022
A Etnografia Urbana é um método e uma abordagem científica, utilizada por cientistas sociais e humanos das mais diversas áreas. Desde logo os antropólogos praticam-na, e tendem a mantê-la como uma competência específica (Ingold 2013), mas é também praticada por outros investigadores muitas vezes formados por antropólogos.
