Por uma história da ecologia da paisagem

Geografia em Atos (Online), 1999
Abrir a história das paisagens rurais por um quadro geológico é supor o problema ecológico resolvido. É mumificar um espaço artificialmente estabilizado no tempo e delimitar no espaço; senão falsificar, ao menos embaraçar de pressupostos a análise das relações históricas entre as comunidades do campo e os meios físicos.

Landscape configuration and soil properties shape ant‐mediated seed dispersal in tropical dry forest agricultural landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1476-1487, August 2026.
We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

When conservation meets contagion: Mapping yellow fever risk to guide vaccination in an endangered primate

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Spatial projections revealed high‐risk areas for YF transmission, highlighting priority zones for targeted vaccination efforts in GLTs. By integrating disease ecology into conservation planning, this study offers a scalable framework for spatially informed interventions aimed at mitigating disease‐driven declines in threatened species.

Ecologia da Paisagem Aplicada aos Manguezais no Entorno da Baía de Sepetiba (RJ) no Ano de 2020

Espaço Aberto, 2023
Os manguezais são ecossistemas importantes para o estoque de carbono, proteção da zona costeira, cultura, economia e biodiversidade. Nesta pesquisa analisamos as métricas dos manguezais da Baía de Sepetiba em 2020. Para isso, imagens dos satélites WorldView e Planet foram classificadas no Ecognition através do método Geographic Object-Based Image ...

A distributed large‐volume soil sampling approach to address spatial heterogeneity in eDNA data collection

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1726-1734, June 2026.
Abstract Soil sampling for eDNA is a useful approach to assess ecological communities in specific locations, such as comparing community composition across different site treatments. However, species' dispersal abilities and habitat selection, among many other factors, drive the uneven distribution of organisms across the landscape. Thus, to accurately

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Landscape features predict broad‐scale seed rain patterns across fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders.

Unravelling the drivers of island species richness in tropical savannas

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Murundu island area explains a substantial proportion of the variation in tree and herb richness, consistent with Island Biogeography Theory. On average, a 10% increase in island size corresponds to increases of seven tree species and 7.8 herb species.

Ecologia da paisagem como Ferramenta de análise para a conservação da biodiversidade

Brazilian Journal of Aquatic Science and Technology, 2019
A fragmentação é um dos principais fatores de perda de biodiversidade. Estudos dentro de uma abordagem integrada da paisagem buscam ampliar a condição de conectividade da matriz que envolve os fragmentos para garantir a permanência das espécies. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os fragmentos florestais na foz do Rio Itajaí-Açu, quanto à área ...
