Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Taxonomic Revision of the South American Genus Eudius and First Insights into the Phylogeny of the Tribe Eudiagogini (Curculionidae: Entiminae)

Insects
The genus Eudius Schoenherr is classified in the broad-nosed weevil tribe Eudiagogini (Entiminae) and harbors two species, Eudius quadrisignatus Gyllenhal and Eudius jocosus Fahraeus, which are only known from their original descriptions.

Potential areas of invasion and environmental suitability of alien fishtail palms (Caryota spp.) in the Neotropics

Invasions by alien plants are one of the main threats to biodiversity. As eradication could be expensive and inefficient, invasions prevention is one of the most adequate strategies.

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Development of a reliable PCR‐based protocol for molecular sexing of king vultures Sarcoramphus papa

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The king vulture Sarcoramphus papa is a large Neotropical scavenger that lacks external sexual dimorphism, complicating demographic, ecological, and conservation studies. Reliable sex identification is therefore essential, particularly for wild and managed populations. In this study, we assessed and optimized a PCR‐based molecular sexing protocol for S.

Faunivores are active longer than herbivores across the daily cycle in a Neotropical savanna–forest mammal community

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Daily activity budgets reflect how animals balance internal physiological demands with external environmental pressures. We analyzed 14 037 camera‐trap records from 12 mammal species in the Venezuelan Llanos to evaluate the effects of foraging strategy (faunivore versus herbivore), season, and body mass on daily activity duration, to describe diel ...

First insights into the movement patterns of maned wolf with sarcoptic mange

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how infectious diseases influence wildlife behavior, particularly in habitats undergoing modification, is crucial for predicting disease outbreaks, assessing impacts on population fitness, and mitigating human health risks. Sarcoptic mange can alter wildlife movement and space use, yet its effects on threatened carnivores remain unclear ...
