Uso das minhocas como indicadoras ambientais: princípios e práticas - o 3ºencontro Latino Americano de Ecologia e Taxonomia de Oligoquetas (ELAETAO 3). [PDF]

, 2015
Dentre os animais que vivem no solo, as minhocas figuram como um dos mais importantes, por serem engenheiras do ecossistema e realizarem vários serviços ambientais, incluindo o controle biológico, a decomposição da matéria orgânica, a ciclagem de ...

Urban landscapes as ecological filters: Insights from a Neotropical bird assemblage

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract To contribute to our growing understanding of the urban ecological filtering process in highly biodiverse regions, we conducted a study on bird species assemblages across the landscape of Medellín and its surrounding areas in the Colombian Andes.

Quantifying leaf herbivory: A guide to methodological trade‐offs and best practices

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Leaf herbivory is a ubiquitous ecological interaction that varies significantly in intensity across species, habitats, and biogeographic regions. Although quantification of leaf damage is crucial for understanding many ecological processes, the accuracy and precision of various damage estimation methods used by researchers, including visual ...

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Importance and spatial patterns of invisible fisheries in Amazonian clear‐water rivers as revealed by fisher knowledge and collaboration

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
The graphical abstract highlights the research collaboration with fishers through interviews to record fishers' knowledge and participatory monitoring, to provide data on small‐scale fisheries in three clear water rivers (Trombetas, Tapajos and Tocantins).
