The role of environmental and life history traits in larval growth and settlement success of the blenny Ophioblennius trinitatis

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Reef fish have complex life cycles where pelagic larval survival and recruitment are linked to environmental and early life history traits (ELHTs). We combine light traps and otolith microstructure analysis to examine how environmental variables and ELHTs drive larval growth and settlement in the endemic Ophioblennius trinitatis.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1345-1356, July 2026.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Climate Predicts Tree Dispersal Strategies Across Brazil's Ecosystems

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes—endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and ...

Ant‐Mediated Ecosystem Functions Along a Tropical Elevational Gradient

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Elevational gradients are excellent systems to study biodiversity variation, yet the ecosystem functions performed by animals along these gradients are poorly understood. We assessed tropical elevational patterns of ant‐mediated seed removal, insect predation and the phylogenetic diversity of the local ant assemblages performing these ...

Forecasting climate change impacts on neotropical Myotis: Insights from ecological niche models for conservation strategies

Ecology and Evolution
Myotis originated during the Oligocene in Eurasia and has become one of the most diverse bat genera, with over 140 species. In the case of neotropical Myotis, there is a high degree of phenotypic conservatism. This means that the taxonomic and geographic

A new catfish species of Microcambeva Costa & Bockmann, 1994 (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from southern Brazil, with a redescription of M. ribeirae Costa, Lima & Bizerril, 2004

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 146-164, July 2026.
Abstract Among the few species of Microcambeva reported as occurring in more than one hydrographic basin, M. ribeirae has been previously listed from both the Ribeira de Iguape and the Guaraqueçaba basins. However, morphological and molecular analyses revealed that the specimens from Guaraqueçaba represent a new species, which is described in this ...

Aiouea affinis (Lauraceae): A New Tree Species From the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aiouea is a Neotropical genus of Lauraceae currently comprising ca. 85 species. Descriptions of new taxa have been frequent in recent years, particularly in Brazil, which currently hosts 35 species, 24 of them being endemic. Based on a review of herbarium material and recent collections, we propose a new species, Aiouea affinis, named for its ...

Taxonomic novelties in Adenocalymma (Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae) endemic to the Atlantic Forest [PDF]

Plant Ecology and Evolution
Background and aims – During ongoing morphological studies of Adenocalymma, we realized that nomenclatural updates are necessary in the genus. Here, we propose a new circumscription of A. acutissimum and the description of the new species A. darwinii.
