Um estudo sobre a paisagem acústica de dois fragmentos de restinga da Região dos Lagos/RJ

Vértices, 2019
A ecologia acústica, considerada uma nova ciência, estuda os padrões sonoros de um ambiente, através da análise dos fatores biofônicos, geofônicos e antropofônicos da paisagem acústica, que podem ser quantificados e qualificados.

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.

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.

Problemas de hierarquização espacial e funcional na ecologia da paisagem: uma avaliação a partir da abordagem geossistêmica.

Geosul, 2013
  Em seu contexto físico, o zoneamento ambiental está imerso numa profunda e antiga discussão envolvendo divergências terminológicas e conceituais. Neste trabalho buscou-se esclarecer aspectos desta discussão com base na Teoria Hierárquica (TH). Foram identificadas categorias comuns da hierarquia ambiental e as diferentes nomenclaturas utilizadas.
