Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

The Most Elusive Amazonian Mammal? Distribution, Survey, Ecology and Conservation of the Bushy‐Tailed Opossum Glironia venusta

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Integrating multiple data sources, we reveal a broader distribution for Glironia venusta and highlight how sampling strategies shape our understanding of rare arboreal mammals. ABSTRACT Introduction Arboreal and nocturnal mammals in the Amazon remain poorly understood due to low detectability and methodological limitations. Glironia venusta, one of the

A soil sensing mechanism to reach carbon flux at a country scale

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil is the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir and can be a source or sink of CO2 for the atmosphere, depending on management practices. CO2 emissions from the soil surface (FCO2) are directly related to the biological and physicochemical soil properties. Our objective was to estimate and spatialize the net ecosystem production (NEP) for the

Meta‐analysis on the effects of composition and configuration of landscape on the functional diversity of tropical mammals

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that mammal functional richness in tropical regions requires integrating habitat amount and landscape configuration into land‐use planning. Conservation strategies should move beyond setting targets for total habitat area and explicitly incorporate configuration metrics that promote heterogeneity and functional connectivity. In

Does crotalaria (Crotalaria breviflora) or pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) inter-row cultivation in restoration plantings control invasive grasses?

Scientia Agricola, 2013
Alternative methods to control invasive fodder grasses are necessary to reduce the use of herbicides in forest restoration, which has been carried out primarily in riparian zones.
