Aiouea riedeliana comb. nov. (Lauraceae) from Brazil, with an amended description and provisional extinction threat assessment

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Aiouea riedeliana (Kosterm.) P.L.R.Moraes and Brotto is the new combination for Cinnamomum riedelianum Kosterm., whose type‐bringing synonym is Persea riedelii Meisn. The placement of this taxon in Aiouea is presented, justified, and illustrated here, disagreeing with its previous classification in Ocotea, as Ocotea riedeliana (Kosterm.) Kottaim., then

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

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 ...

Green Banking: A Systematic Literature Review of Developed and Developing Countries

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green banks attract private investment to green projects, facilitating affordable transitions to climate‐resilient economies. However, the existing literature remains fragmented, lacking cross‐country analyses connecting theory, policy design and institutional practice within a multi‐framework, especially regarding the roles of central banks ...

How the Choice of Habitat and Sampling Technique Affects Biodiversity Knowledge: The Case of Cylindromyrmex (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in the Atlantic Forest

Sociobiology
The Atlantic Forest is a biodiversity hotspot, and myrmecologists broadly study its numerous habitats. Even so, much of its biodiversity remains to be discovered, and the choice of collection methods and habitats to be explored directly affect the ...

Vascular plants on inselberg landscapes in Espírito Santo state: bases for the creation of a protected area in southeastern Brazil

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2021
Inselbergs are granitic or gneissic rocky outcrops prevalent in the landscape of southeastern Brazil. These ecosystems represent islands of isolated habitats that harbor a peculiar flora with high richness and endemism.

Cyathus nisiaensis (Nidulariaceae, Basidiomycota), a New Species From the Atlantic Forest Biome in Northeastern Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Cyathus Haller is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Nidulariaceae within the phylum Basidiomycota. Considering the need to preserve biomes, especially the Atlantic Forest, this study aims to propose a new species within Cyathus collected in the conservation unit, Floresta Nacional de Nísia Floresta, Brazil.
