A new old species of Tetracera (Dilleniaceae) from Espinhaço Range, Brazil
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Tetracera is the only genus within Dilleniaceae with a pantropical distribution. During efforts for a taxonomic revision of the neotropical species, we identified incongruences between application of names and their taxonomic identities, based on protologue and type specimen analysis. Here we describe a new species for the genus bearing a single carpel

Emerging infectious disease and the loss of biodiversity in a Neotropical amphibian community [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 Pathogens rarely cause extinctions of host species, and there are few examples of a pathogen changing species richness and diversity of an ecological community by causing local extinctions across a wide range of species.

Linking Socioeconomics to Biodiversity in the City: The Case of a Migrant Keystone Bird Species
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Billions of wild animals migrate every year between breeding and non-breeding sites, facing new environmental conditions due to anthropogenic change. Although cities engender profound environmental changes, they provide habitat for some migratory birds ...

The insular herpetofauna of Mexico: Composition, conservation, and biogeographic patterns
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 We compile a Mexican insular herpetofaunal checklist to estimate endemism, conservation status, island threats, net taxonomic turnover among six biogeographic provinces belonging to the Nearctic and Neotropical regions, and the relationships between ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Aiouea riedeliana (Kosterm.) P.L.R.Moraes and Brotto is the new combination for Cinnamomum riedelianum Kosterm., whose type‐bringing synonym is Persea riedelii Meisn. The placement of this taxon in Aiouea is presented, justified, and illustrated here, disagreeing with its previous classification in Ocotea, as Ocotea riedeliana (Kosterm.) Kottaim., then

Quaternary paleoclimatology, neotropical biodiversity, and potential effects of global warming.
Contributions to Science, 2007 [CAT] Els canvis climàtics quaternaris enregistrats a l’hemisferi nord també han afectat la regió neotropical i han contribuït a definirne els patrons actuals de biodiversitat. Els estudis moleculars de DNA que s’han dut a terme en espècies neotropicals actuals mostren una acceleració significativa de les taxes d’especiació en els darrers 5 milions d ...
