Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Habitat Loss Shapes Isotopic Niche Responses of a Didelphid Opossum to Fragmentation in Neotropical Semideciduous Dry Forests of Central Brazil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Stable isotope analysis indicates that fragmentation and habitat loss in semideciduous dry forests in the Brazilian Cerrado drive trophic niche shifts in Gracilinanus agilis, with potential consequences for its role as a seed disperser. ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation have notable effects on species' trophic ecology, often most pronounced in ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...
