Forest conversion into pasture selects dung beetle traits at different biological scales depending on species pool composition. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 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

Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...

Mapping Resilient Landscapes to Climate Change in a Megadiverse Country. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Our mapping of terrestrial climate‐resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil identifies sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Landscape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision‐making and public policy on strategies for conservation,

Release experiments as an indicator of flying activities of stingless bees in urban areas

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2023
Contemporary urban ecology views cities as heterogeneous and dynamic ecosystems, composed of biotic, physical, social, and man-made systems. In this context, urban beekeeping stands out as a growing practice that demands further studies.

Deve-se usar o fogo como instrumento de manejo no Cerrado e Campos Sulinos?

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2011
O fogo é um importante instrumento de manejo em diversos ecossistemas, no mundo todo. No Brasil, particularmente o Cerrado e os Campos Sulinos são submetidos a queimadas periódicas, seja por motivos naturais (raios) ou por ações humanas. Entretanto, nas

Estética e ecologia: uma dualidade? Uma busca sistemática para a arquitetura da paisagem | Aesthetics and ecology: a duality? A systematic search for landscape architecture

Oculum Ensaios, 2021
A paisagem contemporânea, caracterizada pelo habitat humano natural e urbano, apresenta um panorama plural de ideias e práticas. Nesse contexto, a arquitetura da paisagem aparece como atividade proeminente de projeto, evidenciando espaços livres e verdes.

Protected areas and the neglected contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Struggles for environmental justice in the Caatinga dry forest

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1739-1755, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite evidence about the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to conservation, prevailing strategies still seek their separation from nature, often triggering conflicts. Current pledges to expand global protected area coverage suggest a need for the critical analysis of governance quality and the way conservation ...

Promoting landscapes with a low zoonotic disease risk through forest restoration: The need for comprehensive guidelines

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1510-1521, August 2023., 2023
Our results contribute to a more comprehensive forest restoration planning, comprising multiple ecosystem services and resulting in healthier landscapes for both people and nature. Our framework could be integrated into the post‐2020 global biodiversity framework targets.

A framework for quantifying soundscape diversity using Hill numbers

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 10, Page 2262-2274, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Soundscape studies are increasingly used to capture landscape‐scale ecological patterns. Yet, several aspects of soundscape diversity remain unexplored. Although some processes influencing acoustic niche usage may operate in the 24‐hr temporal domain, most acoustic indices only capture the diversity of sounds co‐occurring in sound files at a ...
