Evaluating surrogates of genetic diversity for conservation planning. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2021
Abstract Protected‐area systems should conserve intraspecific genetic diversity. Because genetic data require resources to obtain, several approaches have been proposed for generating plans for protected‐area systems (prioritizations) when genetic data are not available. Yet such surrogate‐based approaches remain poorly tested.

Differential response of fire on the community dynamics of five insect taxa in a tropical mountaintop forest archipelago

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Fire incidence influences changes in species composition over time (temporal β‐diversity) in less vagile insect groups (ants and dung beetles). Species turnover is the primary component of temporal β‐diversity driving the interannual variation of all insect taxa examined in this study.

Protected areas and the neglected contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Struggles for environmental justice in the Caatinga dry forest

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1739-1755, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite evidence about the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to conservation, prevailing strategies still seek their separation from nature, often triggering conflicts. Current pledges to expand global protected area coverage suggest a need for the critical analysis of governance quality and the way conservation ...

Lipidomic features of honey bee and colony health during limited supplementary feeding Características lipidómicas de la abeja melífera y salud de la colonia durante dietas suplementarias restringidas

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 658-675, December 2023., 2023
Nutritional starvation of honey bee colonies has long‐term negative consequences on honey production, even after the colonies were left to recover on good floral resources. Nutritional stress in honey bees leads to increased unsaturations of stored lipids.

Use of carrion fly iDNA metabarcoding to monitor invasive and native mammals

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Severely fragmented habitats increase the risk of extirpation of native mammal populations through isolation, increased edge effects, and predation. Therefore, monitoring the movement of mammal populations through anthropogenically altered landscapes can inform conservation. We used metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from carrion

Egg shape variation across the distribution of the partially migratory fork‐tailed flycatcher Tyrannus savana

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2023, Issue 1-2, January/February 2023., 2023
The evolution of egg shape across birds has been associated with breeding ecology, body shape constraints and nest microclimate, among other factors. We model the effects of migratory status, climate, clutch size and egg volume on egg shape variation over the distribution of fork‐tailed flycatchers Tyrannus savana.

AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time

Variation in avian morphology along a short tropical elevational gradient

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 869-880, July 2022., 2022
Patterns across species of intraspecific phenotypic variation with environment can shed light on the underlying drivers of adaptive evolution. Here, we examine morphological variation in 27 tropical bird species along a 675 m elevational gradient in Western Ecuador using multivariate analyses.

Use of native chicken breeds (Gallus gallus domesticus) for the development of suitable methods of Cantabrian capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus cantabricus) semen cryopreservation

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 1311-1318, May 2022., 2022
In this work, we obtained and described, for the first time, the ejaculate of Cantabrian capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus cantabricus). Also, we used a local Spanish breed (Gallus gallus) as the animal model in order to obtain the freezing protocol before applying on capercaillie.

Power and limitations of environmental DNA metabarcoding for surveying leaf litter eukaryotic communities

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 528-540, May 2021., 2021
We demonstrate in our study that the analysis of eDNA from leaf litter samples collected in the Brazilian Atlantic forest has low power for monitoring vertebrate species and should be preferentially applied to describe active and dominant taxa in terrestrial communities, such as Fungi and invertebrates Abstract Leaf litter habitats shelter a great ...
