The role of wild palms in agroforestry systems in the Neotropics: A review

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2200-2227, December 2024.
Abstract Wild palms are among the most important plants in the Neotropics due to their wide distribution, species richness and cultural relevance for humans. In addition to their presence in forests, these plants also occur in anthropogenic systems throughout their range of distribution, but their role in these systems is often overlooked.

The implications of estimating rarity in Brazilian reptiles from GBIF data based on contributions from citizen science versus research institutions 基于公众科学和研究机构的贡献从GBIF数据中估算巴西爬行动物稀有性的意义 Implicações da estimativa de raridade de espécies de répteis brasileiros baseada nas contribuições da ciência cidadã versus instituições de pesquisa

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 112-126, June 2024.
Integrating data collected by citizen scientists with data from traditional surveys improves our knowledge of reptile species distribution and richness. Data contributed by citizen scientist can inform reptile species abundance and rarity patterns in Brazil.

Complex patch geometries maximize species richness at the expense of forest specialists

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 3, May 2024.
We assessed the reptile and amphibian community at 54 sites spanning four habitat types in a fragmented landscape in Costa Rica. Our study revealed that small forest patches and corridors play an important role in herpetofauna conservation, as they support a similar richness, abundance, and community composition to large forest preserves. We also found

Trials and tribulations of Neotropical plant taxonomy: Pace of tree species description

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 515-527, March 2024.
Given the current unprecedented concerns for global biodiversity loss, it is critical to identify best practices for describing new species more efficiently so we can complete the inventory of the Neotropical flora and implement appropriate conservation strategies in a timely manner.

Planting exceptional tropical tree species to increase long‐term carbon storage in assisted secondary succession

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 7-12, January 2024.
By increasing the representation of exceptional species in reforestation efforts, we could potentially boost long‐term carbon storage in reforestation projects focussed on carbon sequestration. However, our approach is not a substitute for protecting existing old primary forests and reforested lands plus reducing deforestation and emissions.

Descrição e fatores modeladores da dieta e ecologia da alimentação de girinos neotropicais: Um estudo de caso e uma revisão abrangente

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2024.
Resumo Os girinos são componentes importantes de muitas teias alimentares aquáticas, pois influenciam as populações em outros níveis tróficos e, consequentemente, a transferência de energia entre os ecossistemas aquáticos e terrestres. O que os girinos consomem é um fator chave para suas funções ecológicas. As assembleias de anuros neotropicais incluem
