Surviving in a Warming and Fragmented World: Long‐Term Population Dynamics of the Lizard Gonatodes humeralis

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change presents significant challenges to species survival; however, the long‐term effects on tropical lizard populations remain poorly understood. Previous studies have predicted contrasting outcomes, with some forecasting a high risk of extinction due to rising temperatures, while others suggest greater resilience in tropical ...

Bat Distribution and Habitat Protection Degree Along an Elevational Gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We aim to identify areas with greater favourability for bat occurrence in the Serra da Mantiqueira, southeastern Brazil, analyse gaps in bat distribution and evaluate the level of protection of areas with the greatest bat diversity. Location Serra da Mantiqueira, Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Taxon Bats.

Knowledge from non‐English‐language studies broadens contributions to conservation policy and helps to tackle bias in biodiversity data

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2148-2162, September 2025.
Collecting data from local sources markedly further strengthens global biodiversity databases by adding species not previously included in international datasets. Furthermore, the addition of these data helps to understand spatial and temporal biases that potentially influence abundance trends at both national and global levels.

Monitoring population extinction risk with community science data

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2133-2147, September 2025.
Our modelling framework provides a robust, computationally efficient and easy‐to‐apply tool for monitoring local persistence probability that can support global conservation efforts. This will complement the monitoring of species population viability in places where standardized monitoring is still lacking, but community science observations are common.

Racing Amidst Change: Urbanization and Climate Alter Functional Traits and Distribution of an Amazonian Parthenogenetic Lizard

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
By comparing native and neonative populations of an Amazonian lizard, we examine how urban environments and climate change impact its functional traits, while also predicting its future distribution. Our findings offer insights into how some species may adapt to human‐altered landscapes, showing that not all are negatively affected by these changes ...

Limited evidence of biodiversity spillover from forest fragments into oil palm plantations in the Amazon

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1939-1952, August 2025.
Converting primary forest into oil palm plantations results in substantial biodiversity losses, highlighting the urgent need to preserve the few remaining large forest fragments in the area. Measures that enhance matrix permeability are essential to conserving the evolutionary and functional integrity of Amazonian landscapes and mitigating the negative

Dispersal Ability Reduces Thermal Specialization and Prevents Climate‐Driven Extinctions in a Neotropical Rainforest

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
We found that species with higher dispersal ability are less specialized in their temperature tolerances and more likely to persist under climate change. By analyzing more than 6 thousand species of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates distributed in the Atlantic Rainforest, we show that more mobile species can avoid extinction by shifting locations,
