Climate Change in the Brazilian Cerrado: A Looming Threat to Terrestrial Biodiversity

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 16, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Due to climate change, the Brazilian Cerrado, a global biodiversity hotspot, is becoming hotter and drier, with longer and more intense dry seasons. This alters biodiversity by altering plant physiology, ecological interactions, and species distribution, creating more homogeneous and less diverse communities.

Sugar‐Rich Resources Mediate Geographic Morphological Variation in a Dominant, Neotropical Savanna Ant

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Trait variation across geographic gradients can reveal how species respond to different environmental settings, which is crucial under the growing threat of climate change. Although on the basis of evolutionary theory, the patterns and drivers of intraspecific functional variation remain largely underexplored.

Neotropical mammal responses to megafires in the Brazilian Pantanal

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
We investigated how forest fires in the Brazilian Pantanal affected the occupancy of eight mammals and the density of jaguars and ocelots. We found that occupancy or habitat use declined for six of the species, with the giant armadillo being the most affected species, and the density of jaguars and ocelots remained stable, though the persistence of ...
