Effects of time since invasion and control actions on a coastal ecosystem invaded by non‐native pine trees

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.

CARACTERÍSTICAS GEOQUÍMICAS DE LOS SEDIMENTOS SUPERFICIALES DE LA LAGUNA LA RESTINGA, ISLA DE MARGARITA, VENEZUELA.

open access: yes, 2016
This research aims to evaluate some chemical parameters of surface sediments of La Restinga coastal lagoon, located in Margarita Island, Nueva Esparta State, Venezuela. Using classical methodology for geochemical studies, grain size and texture of sediment percentage of organic carbon and total organic matter, as well as calcium carbonate were analyzed.

The benefits of bivalve reef restoration: A global synthesis of underrepresented species

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 30, Issue 11, Page 2050-2065, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Bivalve habitat restoration is growing in geographic extent and scale globally. While addressing the wide‐scale loss of these biogenic habitats is still a key motivation behind restoration efforts, stakeholders and funders are increasingly drawn to shellfish restoration for the many ecosystem services these habitats provide.

Trophic niche similarities of sympatric Turdus thrushes determined by fecal contents, stable isotopes, and bipartite network approaches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 17, Page 9073-9084, September 2020., 2020
Niche dimensions are measurable and describe how species share resources, which has been thought to be a crucial mechanism for coexistence and a major driver of broad biodiversity patterns. Morphologically, similar species of thrushes (Turdus spp.) are generalist species, but distinct, despite overlapping feeding habits allow coexistente.

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 760-786, July 2018., 2018
Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics.

Domestic cat predation on Neotropical species in an insular Atlantic Forest remnant in southeastern Brazil

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 167-175, June 2014., 2014
The domestic cat Felis silvestris catus is considered a potential threat to the native fauna of regions it populates, particularly when it has free access to these areas. Although this problem is known in Brazil, little is known regarding the effects of this species on natural areas.

Exploring the Links between Ethnobotany, Local Therapeutic Practices, and Protected Areas in Santa Catarina Coastline, Brazil

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
We investigated the knowledge of medicinal plants in two areas proposed for the creation of protected areas for sustainable use in the city of Imbituba (SC). In this study, we analyzed the influence of gender, form of learning, and modern medicine on medicinal plant knowledge while also reflecting on the relationship of this knowledge to in situ ...

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities in sand bars associated with Ipomoea pes‐caprae: a promising strategy for petroleum spill bioremediation in coastal dunes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of petroleum‐derived compounds known for causing cellular damage and for their recalcitrant behavior, severely limit effective biodegradation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from oil‐contaminated environments can mitigate PAH‐related stress on host plants, highlighting the ...
