Testing the Limits of Morphology: A Comprehensive Morphometric Study of the Sister Lineages Lasiocyano Galleti‐Lima, Hamilton, Borges and Guadanucci, 2023 and Lasiodora C. L. Koch, 1850 (Theraphosidae, Mygalomorphae) [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.An extensive morphometric framework combining linear and geometric morphometry was applied to evaluate interspecific differentiation within the Lasiocyano sazimai and Lasiodora lineage (Theraphosidae). Despite statistically significant differences in some analyses, extensive morphological overlap and high intraspecific variation consistently reduced ...

Species Distribution Modeling Reveals Future Climate Refugia and Important Areas for Rocky Plants in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Climate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Water retention and pore size distribution in organic soils from tropical mountain peatlands under forest and grassland [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 Peatland soils can store large amounts of water and their retention capacity depends upon soil structure, vegetation type and degree of decomposition. In the Serra do Espinhaço Meridional (south-eastern Brazil), numerous peatlands occur in the headwaters
