Livestock and the functional habitat of vicuñas in Ecuador: a new puzzle

Ecosphere, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2018., 2018
Abstract Whether interactions between wildlife and livestock are competitive or facilitative is context dependent. Intermediary factors that explain how context (seasonal or regional characteristics of the ecological community) affects these interactions are rarely reported.

The Blue List Initiative: Guiding Biodiversity Restoration in Brazil's Espinhaço Range

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
The campo rupestre is a biodiversity hotspot marked by extreme habitat heterogeneity and high species turnover. Using phytosociological data, floristic clustering and zeta diversity, we show that habitats are floristically non‐interchangeable and propose habitat‐ and substrate‐specific Blue Lists to guide effective, locality‐based ecological ...

Boundaries Within the Paepalanthus chiquitensis Species Complex (Eriocaulaceae)

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Four morphotypes with associated names are presented toward a more reliable circumscription of Paepalanthus chiquitensis. Morphotype I, associated with the names P. chiquitensis, P. speciosus var. bolivianus, and P. amoenus var. bolivianus, is restricted to savannas of Bolivia and western Brazil.

In Vitro TNF‐α Inhibitory Activity of Brazilian Plants and Anti‐Inflammatory Effect of Stryphnodendron adstringens in an Acute Arthritis Model

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Stryphnodendron species, popularly named “barbatimão,” are traditionally used in Brazil as anti‐inflammatory agents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of barbatimão and 11 other species on the production of tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) in lipopolysaccharide‐ (LPS‐) stimulated THP‐1 cells, as well as their anti‐arthritis activity.

Beyond the Highlands: Climate Drives Evolutionary Connections Between Ancient Neotropical Mountains and Lowland Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The assembly of montane plant communities through time is underlain by historical and abiotic factors. However, the extent of evolutionary connectivity between ancient highland ecosystems and surrounding lowlands remains unclear. Here, we investigate the evolutionary connections between the campos rupestres, a hyperdiverse and fragmented ...
