The preference for energetic resources is positively associated with predatory activity in ants

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 921-932, October 2025.
We found that ants exhibit a stronger preference for foraging for carbohydrates and lipids (energetic nutrients) compared to amino acids. The increase in foraging for energetic nutrients compared to amino acids is positively correlated with foraging in larvae (insect predation). The nutrient preference between foraging for energetic nutrients and amino

Climate Change in the Brazilian Cerrado: A Looming Threat to Terrestrial Biodiversity

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Due to climate change, the Brazilian Cerrado, a global biodiversity hotspot, is becoming hotter and drier, with longer and more intense dry seasons. This alters biodiversity by altering plant physiology, ecological interactions, and species distribution, creating more homogeneous and less diverse communities.

Hide and Seek: Species Detectability in a Biodiversity Hotspot Increased by Environmental DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
We demonstrated through Bayesian modeling that eDNA metabarcoding offers equivalent or higher detectability than traditional field inventory techniques for anuran species in a biodiversity hotspot. The number of recorded species was also higher in seven out of ten sampled streams.

Assessing conservation priorities for seahorses in Brazil reveals gaps in current protected areas

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Seahorses are rare and threatened marine species facing increasing risks from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Understanding their distribution is critical for effective conservation planning, yet comprehensive studies are limited, including in Brazil. This study aimed to conduct a gap analysis and identify priority areas for seahorse
