Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Lycophytes and monilophytes in Rio Preto State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2013
We conducted a floristic survey of lycophytes and monilophytes in Rio Preto State Park, located in the municipality of São Gonçalo do Rio Preto, and in the surrounding areas, including the municipality of Felício dos Santos, in the state of Minas Gerais,

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Accidental plant poisonings in France: Lessons from a decade of national toxicovigilance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Accidental plant poisonings reveal how modern societies are losing everyday botanical knowledge once central to food and health safety. By analyzing a decade of French toxicovigilance data, this study shows that most severe cases arise from plant misidentification or misguided self‐medication.

Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...
