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 ...

Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Local knowledge enhances the sustainability of interconnected fisheries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our modelling approach allows managers to compare alternative conservation strategies under different socio‐ecological scenarios, highlighting trade‐offs and guiding investment of effort and resources. While immediately valuable for pirarucu management in the Middle Juruá, the framework scales across tiers of applicability, each requiring progressively

How Management Practices Shape the “Local Habitat Signature” That Modulates Bird Communities in Urban Green Spaces

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Local scale factors, not just the broad urban gradient, are the key drivers of urban bird communities. Our multi‐scale study found that specific management practices, such as managing leaf litter depth or the presence of unmanaged tall grass, explained the largest portion of variation in bird composition.

Temporal Changes in Land Use Highlight the Vulnerability of Highland Grasslands in Protected Areas in Southern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Subtropical Highland Grasslands showed greater net conversion than Mixed Ombrophilous Forest across our study PAs. In one PA created to conserve Highland Grasslands, net grassland loss inside the PA exceeded loss in adjacent buffer zones during the study period.

Habitat Amount Shapes Ant Diversity in the Central Amazon

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Ant diversity in fragmented Amazonian forest landscapes is primarily driven by landscape‐scale habitat amount rather than fragment size, supporting the Habitat Amount Hypothesis (HAH) over Island Biogeography Theory (IBT). Consequently, conservation strategies should prioritize maintaining and restoring forest cover across human‐modified landscapes ...

Effects of Landscape Characteristics on Abundance of Giant Anteaters in Intensively Farmed Areas

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
In this study, we analyzed the abundance of giant anteaters in 55 landscapes within a 34,000 km2 region that has undergone significant transformation due to intensive agricultural practices, particularly the cultivation of sugarcane. In each landscape, we used three camera traps to record the presence of this species. Our occupancy models revealed that

Local and landscape features of urban fragments determine the occurrence of stingless bees As características locais e paisagísticas dos fragmentos urbanos determinam a ocorrência de uma espécie de abelhas sem ferrão

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1027-1036, November 2025.
Both local and landscape factors associated with habitat availability and quality determine the persistence of stingless bees across fragments. Places where the species occurs have local and landscape characteristics distinctive from those where it is absent.
