Across the edge: Spatial segregation drives community structure in tri-trophic multilayer networks at a forest-grassland edge. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study reveals how forest–grassland edges act as ecological barriers that shape tri‐trophic interaction networks. Using multilayer network theory, it uncovers how species influence and biodiversity patterns emerge across spatial layers, offering novel insights into edge‐driven community assembly and conservation in fire‐prone mosaics.

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 ...

Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Amazonian forests impacted by humans have a reduced and different group of tree species than those forests that have never been impacted. The trees present in forests impacted by humans also have different evolutionary histories and functional characteristics.

Bird-window collisions: A comprehensive dataset for the Neotropical region. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms.

Assessing the mechanisms and impacts of shrub invasion in forests: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2314-2326, November 2023., 2023
Taken together, these results suggest that restoration efforts should focus on (i) increasing the presence of strong native competitors or functionally diverse native communities, (ii) decreasing sources of invasive shrub propagules while keeping the canopies closed when invasion occurs via high propagule pressure, (iii) avoiding management techniques ...

Fish on Fire: Shifts in Amazonian fish communities after floodplain forest fires

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1637-1646, August 2023., 2023
Amazonian fish communities change after floodplain forest fires. Unburnt forests have diverse fish communities, with a large proportion of unique and small omnivorous species. In contrast, carnivores and detritivores become more common in fire scars and white‐sand savannas formed after forest fires. Less omnivore fish after forest fires can reduce tree

Seasonality in niche occupation revealed through bird community functional structure in the southern Atlantic rainforest

Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 3, Page 986-997, July 2023., 2023
Seasonal variation in tropical and subtropical systems can have different effects on bird species depending on the resources they use and how they use them. However, despite recent research advances, knowledge of the drivers of the presence and abundance of species in different seasons is still limited for most tropical bird species.

Large‐scale impacts of selective logging on canopy tree beta‐diversity in the Brazilian Amazon

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1181-1193, June 2023., 2023
Minimal impacts on tree beta‐diversity across large spatial scales points towards the retention of substantial conservation value in logged tropical forests. Strong subtractive heterogenization in very large trees indicates the breakdown of broad scale patterns of composition with potential negative consequences for recruitment processes, fauna reliant

Teste de envelhecimento acelerado em sementes de Peltophorum dubium Sprengel Taubert

Revista Thema, 2018
Um método eficiente para avaliar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes é o teste de envelhecimento acelerado, frequentemente utilizado em laboratórios para esse fim. Contudo poucas são as informações para sementes de espécies florestais nativas.
