Plotting a future for Amazonian canga vegetation in a campo rupestre context [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 In order to establish effective conservation strategy, drivers of local and regional patterns of biodiversity need to be understood. The composition of local biodiversity is dependent on a number of factors including evolution and redistribution of lineages through dispersal and environmental heterogeneity.

FLORISTIC MOSAICS OF THE THREATENED BRAZILIAN CAMPO RUPESTRE
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2022 The increase in rates of habitat loss requires an understanding of how biodiversity is distributed. Campo rupestre is an old, climatically buffered, and infertile landscape located in Brazil.

Forest islands sustain more temporally stable insect metacommunities in a heterogeneous tropical mountaintop landscape [PDF]
npj BiodiversityWe evaluated how habitat type influences community temporal dynamics in a heterogeneous tropical mountain landscape. We sampled ants, dung beetles, and fruit-feeding butterflies across two mountaintop habitats: campo rupestre and forest islands in the ...

EXTENDING THE LIMITS OF CAMPOS RUPESTRES IN BRAZIL
Caminhos de Geografia, 2021 Campos rupestres are typical ecosystems of rock outcrops with high biodiversity and endemism, located in Brazilian territory, with vegetation analogous in Africa and Australia. The campos rupestres cover deeply dystrophic soils on highlands inserted in Amazon rainforest, Atlantic rainforest and Cerrado biomes. Despite recognition of campos rupestres as

Exploring the mycobiota of bromeliads phytotelmata in Brazilian Campos Rupestres
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2023 The phytotelmata is a water-filled tank on a terrestrial plant, and it plays an important role in bromeliad growth and ecosystem functioning. Even though previous studies have contributed to elucidate the composition of the prokaryotic component of this aquatic ecosystem, its mycobiota (fungal community) is still poorly known. In the present work, ITS2
