Neblina: o que digo do desenho
O objetivo do presente estudo é compreender se o Desenho ser Desenho é relevante e influencia a forma como as obras de Desenho são interpretadas, tendo presente que, tudo que se racionalize sobre Desenho é neblina, neblina que cobre a inexplicável e complexa paisagem - o Desenho - tornando-a assim dizível. Num primeiro momento é apresentada uma síntese

Abstract Aim To test whether spatial turnover patterns of mountain madicolous insect communities in the Southern Hemisphere support the ‘mountain passes are higher in the Tropic’ hypothesis (MPHT). To do this, we compared madicolous communities in the Amazon Mountains (equator) and the Atlantic Forest Mountains (23°S). Location Brazil.

New record and range extension of the Horned Toad, Rhinella ceratophrys (Boulenger, 1882) (Anura: Bufonidae), in Venezuela, and confirmation of its presence in Brazil [PDF]
The Horned Toad, Rhinella ceratophrys, is widely distributed in the northwestern part of the Amazon region. It is known from Venezuela by only a single juvenile from the base of Cerro Marahuaca, Amazonas state.

Abstract Conservation planning and decision‐making rely on evaluations of biodiversity status and threats that are based upon species' distribution estimates. However, gaps exist regarding automated tools to delineate species' current ranges from distribution estimates and use those estimates to calculate both species‐ and community‐level biodiversity ...

Deforestation and habitat fragmentation are known as the chief drivers of biodiversity loss. Habitat fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon was found to affect the weight of birds that remained in isolated areas. Our results provide a novel analysis into how avian body mass responds to habitat fragmentation.

Abstract Casearia (Salicaceae) is a pantropical genus of circa 200 species, around half of which dwell in the Neotropics. Despite the availability of phylogenetic studies that suggest that Casearia sensu Sleumer is not monophyletic, a strong phylogenetic framework was still lacking for this genus.

Abstract Aim Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Caribbean and a hot spot of biodiversity. The island was formed by the fusion of a northern and southern palaeo‐islands during the mid‐Miocene (15 Ma). The historical split of Hispaniola together with repeated marine incursions during the Pleistocene is known to have influenced lineage ...

We evaluated the temporal variation in species richness and community composition of local bird assemblages over 11 years in Cajas National Park and Mazán Reserve in the Southern Andes of Ecuador. Species richness remained stabled over time, but we observed taxonomic reordering in the undisturbed native forest, in which the evenness in the distribution

Premise Resolving relationships within order Commelinales has posed quite a challenge, as reflected in its unstable infra‐familial classification. Thus, we investigated (1) relationships across families and genera of Commelinales; (2) phylogenetic placement of never‐before sequenced genera; (3) how well off‐target plastid data integrate with other ...
