Coolia Species (Dinophyceae) from the Tropical South Atlantic Region: Evidence of Harmfulness of Coolia cf. canariensis Phylogroup II

Phycology, 2023
Benthic dinoflagellates of the Coolia genus have been associated with cytotoxicity and lethal and sublethal effects on marine species. This study aimed to assess the harmful effects of C. cf. canariensis phylogroup II (PII) and C.

Diversification dynamics in the Neotropics through time, clades, and biogeographic regions

eLife, 2022
The origins and evolution of the outstanding Neotropical biodiversity are a matter of intense debate. A comprehensive understanding is hindered by the lack of deep-time comparative data across wide phylogenetic and ecological contexts.

Biodiversity and climate determine the functioning of Neotropical forests [PDF]

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2017
AbstractAimTropical forests account for a quarter of the global carbon storage and a third of the terrestrial productivity. Few studies have teased apart the relative importance of environmental factors and forest attributes for ecosystem functioning, especially for the tropics.

Reconciling timber extraction with biodiversity conservation in tropical forests using reduced-impact logging [PDF]

, 2015
Over 20% of the world's tropical forests have been selectively logged, and large expanses are allocated for future timber extraction. Reduced-impact logging (RIL) is being promoted as best practice forestry that increases sustainability and lowers CO2 ...

LIVE FENCES HAVE GREATER DIVERSITY OF BIRD ASSEMBLAGES THAN GALLERY FORESTS IN HUMAN-MODIFIED ECOSYSTEMS [PDF]

, 2021
Anthropogenic activities have led to changes in land use resulting in fragmented areas with a reduction of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Gallery forests and live fences are common elements in Neotropical agricultural landscapes that could ...

Abundance and survival rates of three leaf-litter frog species in fragments and continuous forest of the Mata Atlântica, Brazil

Nature Conservation, 2018
Habitat destruction and fragmentation alter the quality of habitats and put populations under the risk of extinction. Changes in population parameters can provide early warning signs of negative impacts.
