Human pressure drives biodiversity–multifunctionality relationships in large Neotropical wetlands

Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Many studies have shown that biodiversity regulates multiple ecological functions that are needed to maintain the productivity of a variety of ecosystem types. What is unknown is how human activities may alter the 'multifunctionality' of ecosystems through both direct impacts on ecosystems and indirect effects mediated by the loss of multifaceted ...

Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research

PeerJ
The outstanding biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in the generation of biodiversity data, many questions remain to be answered.

Neotropical Siluriformes as a Model for Insights on Determining Biodiversity of Animal Groups

PLoS ONE, 2015
We performed an analysis of the descriptions of new species of Neotropical Siluriformes (catfishes) to estimate the number of new species that remain to be described for a complete knowledge on biodiversity of this order, to verify the effectiveness of taxonomic support, and to identify trends and present relevant information for future policies.

Angiosperm biodiversity, endemism and conservation in the Neotropics

TAXON, 2007
We 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, 1992
Data 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, 2014
AbstractOil 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

2018
The 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, 2005
Abstract 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.
