Caatinga Revisited: Ecology and Conservation of an Important Seasonal Dry Forest
Besides its extreme climate conditions, the Caatinga (a type of tropical seasonal forest) hosts an impressive faunal and floristic biodiversity. In the last 50 years there has been a considerable increase in the number of studies in the area. Here we aimed to present a review of these studies, focusing on four main fields: vertebrate ecology, plant ...

Despite the widespread use of metabarcoding approaches in wood‐inhabiting fungal studies, there is currently no standardized procedure for sampling deadwood. Our methodological study supports that to gain a representative view of the fungal community composition in early decay‐stage deadwood, bark should be included in fungal surveys and that ...
