Biodiversity and climate change in the Neotropical region [PDF]

Biota Neotropica, 2008
The isolation of South America from Central America and Africa during the Tertiary Period left a strong imprint on the biota of the Neotropics. For almost 100 million years Neotropical flora, fauna and microorganisms evolved in completely isolation. The emergence of a continuous land bridge, 3 Ma years ago, between Central and South America is well ...

The relationship between Indigenous Peoples' lands and conservation: A systematic literature review

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract A growing body of peer‐reviewed literature is focused on the relationship between Indigenous Peoples' lands (Indigenous lands) and conservation outcomes. We performed a systematic review of this English reported peer‐reviewed literature (n = 111) to examine: the key characteristics; the conservation outcomes documented; the methods used in ...

The use of microsatellite markers in Neotropical studies of wild birds: a literature review

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Despite extensive habitat fragmentation, the Neotropical region possesses 30% of the world´s bird species. Microsatellites have remained one of the most popular genetic markers and have been used in ecological and conservation studies since the 1990’s ...

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

A combinatorial approach to angiosperm pollen morphology [PDF]

, 2016
Angiosperms (flowering plants) are strikingly diverse. This is clearly expressed in the morphology of their pollen grains, which are characterized by enormous variety in their shape and patterning.

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

How does fragmentation by small dams affect stream ichthyofauna in the upper Paraná River basin? [PDF]

Neotropical Ichthyology
Since the seminal publication of the River Continuum Concept (RCC), many studies have shown the importance of habitat and longitudinal changes on fish distribution, including for the Neotropical region.

Population Genetic Structure and Species Delimitation of a Widespread, Neotropical Dwarf Gecko [PDF]

, 2019
Amazonia harbors the greatest biological diversity on Earth. One trend that spans Amazonian taxa is that most taxonomic groups either exhibit broad geographic ranges or small restricted ranges.

Speciation with gene flow

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.
