Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Aboveground biomass accumulation in Brazilian semi‐deciduous seasonal Atlantic Forest restoration sites over a 20‐year time series

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
The role of forests undergoing restoration in mitigating climate change is widely accepted. However, periodic assessment of aboveground biomass (AGB) accumulation in actively restored areas is scarce, particularly in tropical forests. Here, we estimated AGB as an indicator of carbon stocks in six Atlantic Forest native species reforestations aged 4–20 ...
