Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Patterns of frugivory in the columnar cactus Pilosocereus leucocephalus
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 1268-1277, February 2019., 2019 Birds and bats feed on the fruit, and presumably disperse, the seeds of Pilosocereus leucocephalus, a keystone columnar cactus species in Mesoamerica Abstract In the frugivory networks of many arid and semi‐arid Mesoamerican ecosystems, columnar cacti act as keystone species that produce fruits with a high content of water and nutrients attractive to ...

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).
