Avaliação do potencial alelopático e fitotoxicidade de Hymenaea stigonocarpa em espécies invasoras e cultivadas

Heringeriana, 2021
O Cerrado é um hotspot mundial de biodiversidade e vem sofrendo com a expansão das áreas destinadas   produção de commodities. Mais da metade de sua área foi desmatada ou transformada por ação antrópica, incluindo a introdução e/ou expansão de plantas ...

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

A comunidade lenhosa de cerrado rupestre na Serra Dourada, Goiás.

Heringeriana, 2015
O Cerrado rupestre é a comunidade vegetal que ocupa afloramentos de arenito e quartzito. Este é ainda encontrado em bom estado de conservação principalmente devido ao acesso relativamente restrito   maioria de suas áreas.

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Combined phylogenetic and geographic data can predict plant–pest interactions with high accuracy

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2107-2123, August 2026.
Schematic overview of the study pipeline. Summary Non‐native plant pests can pose major threats to biodiversity, with destructive ecological and economic consequences. The ability to predict future threats would allow limited resources to be concentrated on managing the most serious risks. We built a Bayesian model to predict hosts at risk from Agrilus,

Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1366-1377, July 2026.
Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.
