Linking soil biodiversity and ecosystem function in a Neotropical savanna [PDF]
Applied Soil Ecology, 2022 Abstract Conserving the remaining savanna ecosystems in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado) — a global biodiversity hotspot that stores carbon and provides water to a large portion of South America — requires understanding the ecological processes maintaining their function.

Angiosperm biodiversity, endemism and conservation in the Neotropics
TAXON, 2007We analyze distributional patterns of Neotropical flowering plants between 38° N and 55° S. Along with identification of centers of angiosperm biodiversity and endemism, we explore range size patterns and discuss implications for angiosperm evolution and conservation.

Neotropical Mammals and the Myth of Amazonian Biodiversity
Science, 1992Data were compiled on the distribution of mammal taxa (883 species, 242 genera, 45 families, and 10 orders) among South America's six major macrohabitats: lowland Amazon forest, western montane forests, Atlantic rain forest, upland semideciduous forest, southern mesophytic forest, and drylands.

Minimizing the biodiversity impact of Neotropical oil palm development
Global Change Biology, 2014AbstractOil palm agriculture is rapidly expanding in the Neotropics, at the expense of a range of natural and seminatural habitats. A key question is how this expansion should be managed to reduce negative impacts on biodiversity. Focusing on the Llanos of Colombia, a mixed grassland–forest system identified as a priority zone for future oil palm ...

DNA barcoding of Jamaican bats: implications to Neotropical biodiversity
Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) We report on the first comprehensive DNA barcoding survey of bats from Jamaica and compare the genetic variation to similar species on South America and Central America. Bats comprise the majority of mammalian diversity in typical lowland forest in the Neotropics, but the Caribbean is one noticeable ...

Biodiversity and Geographic Patterns of Neotropical Staphylinidae
2018The history of the discovery of the Central and South American Staphylinidae fauna is reported beginning with the start of modern taxonomy in the mid of the eighteenth century up to the present. An overview over the number of genera is given for all Central and South American countries. The subfamily Osoriinae is described in more detail.

Biodiversity research in the Neotropics: From conflict to collaboration
Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 2005Abstract Tropical biodiversity researchers are working in ecological, social, and economic contexts that are completely different from those of 150 years ago. In the 1800s, scientists from developed nations studied tropical biodiversity as part of expeditionary work.

The biodiversity of Neotropical water mites
2002The first studies on water mites from Central and South America date back to the 1880s, and although 1,360 species in 173 genera have been recorded so far, our knowledge of the diversity of this group in the Neotropic is rather incomplete. In order to estimate the total number of water mite species in this faunal region, I surveyed the state of the art
