There is hope for achieving ambitious Atlantic Forest restoration commitments

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Achieving ambitious global restoration commitments is a huge challenge. The Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact, created in 2009 as a movement to restore 15 Mha of degraded/deforested lands by 2050, pledged 1 Mha towards the 2020 Bonn Challenge.

Longevity and Growth of the Crabs Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae (Decapoda: Portunidae) in Paraíso Tabasco Mexico

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual growth models are important in fisheries of natural populations and can be incorporated in production models to estimate their maximum sustainable yield. Blue crab species, Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae were obtained in the Mecoacán lagoon, Paraíso, Tabasco Mexico by “nasa” and “yahual” nets. Biometric values such as

Impact of climate on the migration phenology of the endangered Little Bustard in Spain

Ibis, EarlyView.
The phenology of animals is closely tied to seasonal climatic patterns so, by altering temperature and precipitation regimes, climate change disrupts the phenological cycles of species. More specifically, the influence of rising temperatures on the phenology of bird migration has been long studied.

A new old species of Tetracera (Dilleniaceae) from Espinhaço Range, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Tetracera is the only genus within Dilleniaceae with a pantropical distribution. During efforts for a taxonomic revision of the neotropical species, we identified incongruences between application of names and their taxonomic identities, based on protologue and type specimen analysis. Here we describe a new species for the genus bearing a single carpel

Mamíferos atropelados em rodovias do Brasil central: contribuições para a ecologia de estradas e coleções científicas

Biodiversidade Brasileira
Os atropelamentos são uma das principais causas de mortalidade de mamíferos em rodovias, ameaçando a persistência de suas populações em paisagens fragmentadas. Neste estudo, registramos mamíferos atropelados em rodovias e estradas do Brasil central e enriquecemos a coleção científica CMUEG com as carcaças coletadas.

Competition and habitat filtering shape Neotropical canopy butterfly communities across a rainfall seasonality gradient

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The stability hypothesis posits that stable environments provide species with predictable resources, where mechanisms that limit similarity, such as competition, are able to drive niche specialization and shape community composition. By contrast, variable and unpredictable environments are expected to allow only those species with appropriate ...
