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.

ECOLOGIA DE PAISAGEM NOS ESTUDOS DE FRAGMENTOS FLORESTAIS

REVISTA GEONORTE, 2023
Considerando os impactos da ação antrópica sobre o ambiente, a necessidade de panejamento ambiental é eminente. O Brasil é historicamente marcado por uma economia exploratória de recursos naturais, responsáveis pelo desmatamento e fragmentação de nossas florestas.

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 ...
