Fire Effects on Bird Communities From Seasonally Flooded Forests Along Amazonian Black Water Rivers of the Negro River Basin

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Fire significantly contributes to Amazonian degradation, with igapó forests (seasonally flooded by blackwater rivers) being especially vulnerable. Igapó forests support species adapted to seasonal flooding, making fire a critical threat to these specialised organisms.

The Scale‐Dependency in Freshwater Habitat Regionalisation Analyses

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 3, April‐May 2025.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems need efficient protection which requires detailed information regarding the spatial distribution of its environmental characteristics, which allows simple habitat suitability assessments for freshwater species. Such characteristics can be assessed with regionalisation analyses, where environmental characteristics are ...
