Using camera traps to enhance community-based management of subsistence hunting in the Amazon. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Community‐based management and monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as a cost‐effective strategy for providing credible data, informing decision‐making, and empowering local communities in resource governance and management. However, the establishment of community‐based management of subsistence hunting in the Brazilian Amazon has been ...

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.

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1804-1821, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Environment‐facing interventions impact the distribution, use of and access of natural resources and have important implications for all dimensions (material, relational, quality of life) of human well‐being (HWB). Yet conventional impact metrics routinely surpass the non‐material impacts which may be particularly salient in rural contexts ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 62-68, March 2023., 2023 Biodiversity assessments are needed to better understand biodiversity distribution and threats in parks. Our results showed that arthropod inventories are more likely if park accommodations are available for researchers. Small investments in providing accommodations may increase biodiversity assessments in parks.

Diverse anthropogenic disturbances shift Amazon forests along a structural spectrum
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 24-32, February 2023., 2023 Amazon forests are being degraded by myriad anthropogenic disturbances, altering ecosystem and climate function. We analyzed the effects of a range of land‐use and climate‐change disturbances on fine‐scale canopy structure using a large database of profiling canopy lidar collected from disturbed and mature Amazon forest plots.

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vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data.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

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Podem Os Centros Ciência Viva Ser Exomuseus Sem Reserva Em Reservas Naturais?
, 2017 Nos anos 80, o Professor Galopim de Carvalho introduziu o conceito de Exomuseu, visando a criação de “museus” ao ar livre para a divulgação e o conhecimento da geo e biodiversidade. Cerca de 40 anos depois, a controvérsia ligada à melhor forma de conservar e preservar os geomonumentos e a biodiversidade continua: Esconder ou dar a conhecer? Mais do que
