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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
