Muriqui House: conservation management to support the recovery of the northern muriqui Brachyteles hypoxanthus in Ibitipoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Oryx
Ensuring the demographic and genetic viability of small populations of threatened primates requires a range of management approaches. Here we describe a novel mixed in situ and ex situ management project that was developed to restore a population of the ...

South American Melolonthinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) classification and nomenclature: some problems and solutions [PDF]

, 2008
Classificatory changes are made for some taxa of New World Melolonthinae based on the examination of specimens (including type specimens) and a reevaluation of some of the characters used to justify previous classification decisions.

Hot node limitations and impact of taxonomic resolution on phylogenetic divergence patterns: A case study on Ecuadorian ethnomedicinal flora

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Novel phylogenetic approaches have emerged in recent years to study traditional medicinal plants, aiming to identify potential sources of new drugs. This line of research holds considerable promise yet remains in its early stages. Here, we examine the prevalent methods employed in the field, revealing the impact of methodological choices that have ...

High‐resolution drone imagery reveals drivers of fine‐scale giant otter habitat selection in the land‐water interface

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Neotropical freshwater habitats are particularly sensitive to degradation by human activity. Piscivorous semi‐aquatic freshwater megafauna inhabit both the terrestrial and aquatic mediums and thus may be good indicators of wetland habitat quality.

Origins of neotropical leafy Hepaticae [PDF]

, 1990
The neotropical hepatic flora, predominantly constituted by members of the Jungermanniales and Metzgeriales, includes a disproportionate number of genera which are endemic (over 38) and a number which evidently originated here but have shown slight and ...

High extinction risk of the endemic tree flora in a hyper‐diverse region of the Amazon

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The rapid global loss of biodiversity, especially in the Neotropics, underscores the need to understand how deforestation impacts endemic plant species' extinction risk and conservation status. Due to limited ranges and habitat specialization, endemics are particularly Vulnerable.

Population response to connectivity restoration of high elevation tropical stream reaches in Hawai'i

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Tropical island streams are heavily impacted by water withdrawals to the detriment of native ecosystems. Freshwater fauna in the tropics often exhibit diadromous life‐history strategies, requiring hydrologic connectivity between upstream and nearshore habitats.

Soil seed bank resilience in passively restored endangered Sand Fynbos following a century of pine plantations

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ecosystems are rapidly being transformed, pushing us towards irreversible losses and even extinctions. The Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework aims to curb biodiversity decline. An intriguing solution lies in seed banks—where plants store seeds in the soil. Restoration efforts can revive lost ecosystems by leveraging these seed banks. In the

Exploring the interplay between small and large scales movements in a neotropical small mammal [PDF]

Movement Ecology (2024) 12:23
We record and analyze the movement patterns of the marsupial {\it Didelphis aurita} at different temporal scales. Animals trajectories are collected at a daily scale by using spool-and-line techniques, and with the help of radio-tracking devices animals traveled distances are estimated at intervals of weeks.
