catalogoUCsBR: A new R package and application for creating comprehensive plant species lists for Brazilian Protected Areas. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise The increased online publication of data associated with Brazilian botanical collections and biodiversity information systems has significantly improved access to information on plant species occurring in Brazil. However, information about Brazilian flora within Protected Areas is fragmented.

Fish on Fire: Shifts in Amazonian fish communities after floodplain forest fires
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1637-1646, August 2023., 2023 Amazonian fish communities change after floodplain forest fires. Unburnt forests have diverse fish communities, with a large proportion of unique and small omnivorous species. In contrast, carnivores and detritivores become more common in fire scars and white‐sand savannas formed after forest fires. Less omnivore fish after forest fires can reduce tree

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1364-1380, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology are increasingly dependent on computational code to conduct research. Hence, the use of efficient methods to share, reproduce, and collaborate on code as well as document research is fundamental.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Briefly, we assess the impacts of forest conversion on the functional diversity of dung beetles in two different regions of Brazil, considering in particular intraspecific variation. To do this we conducted standardized surveys in seven forest fragments and adjacent pastures for every region and measured fourteen traits in individuals collected in each

Sustainable Development, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 349-359, February 2023., 2023 Abstract There has been increasing research on pedagogical approaches, sustainability competences, and how to connect them in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This paper's aim is to provide deeper insights into the system of pedagogical approaches and sustainability competences, as well as how these interrelate.

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Background. Previous studies have suggested that guarana (Paullinia cupana) and açai (Euterpe oleracea) have antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and proliferative properties, indicating their potential therapeutic action in wound healing. We produced a conjugated guarana‐açai (GA) extract and tested its healing action on earthworms (Eisenia fetida ...

Circular economy in corporate sustainability reporting: A review of organisational approaches
Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 4015-4036, December 2021., 2021 Abstract A growing commitment from companies to implement circular economy (CE) strategies demands the development of guidelines for consistent related external communication. The fields of non‐financial reporting and sustainability are well established with numerous available international reporting frameworks and approaches; however, there is still ...

Frugivory underpins the nitrogen cycle
Functional Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 357-368, February 2021., 2021 A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Tropical rainforests are populated by large frugivores that feed upon fruit‐producing woody species, yet their role in regulating the cycle of globally important biogeochemical elements such as nitrogen is still unknown.
