Composition and natural history of the snakes from the Parque Estadual da Serra do Papagaio, southern Minas Gerais, Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2018
The Serra da Mantiqueira is one of the least inventoried physiographic areas of southeastern Brazil. There is great potential for detection of endemic species for which little or nothing is known about basic aspects of natural history.

Montane diversification as a mechanism of speciation in neotropical butterflies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The mountains in the Atlantic Forest domain are environments that harbor a high biodiversity, including species adapted to colder climates that were probably influenced by the climatic variations of the Pleistocene.

Molecular data reveal a complex population genetic structure for Psalidodon scabripinnis (Teleostei: Characidae) in the Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil. [PDF]

Genet Mol Biol, 2022
Recently renamed, Psalidodon scabripinnis populations of Serra da Mantiqueira, previously known as Astyanax scabripinnis have been deeply studied in the last years.

Forest Cover and Altitude Are Key to the Occurrence of Black-Fronted Titi Monkeys (Callicebus nigrifrons) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Conceptual diagram illustrating how altitude and forest cover jointly influence the probability of primate occurrence. Higher altitudes and greater forest cover are associated with increased occurrence probability. Icons on the axes represent gradients of altitude (left) and forest cover (bottom), while primate silhouettes depict different ...

Lithobiomes Heterogeneity and Geographic Distance Shape the Landscape Genomics Within Brazilian Mountain Systems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Genomic analyses of Paepalanthus calvus across Brazilian montane ecosystems reveal strong population structure shaped by geographic distance and lithological heterogeneity. Fine‐scale edaphoclimatic factors are the main predictors of genetic divergence among distinct lithobiomes, underscoring the role of substrate‐driven ecological isolation and local ...

Dispersal Ability Reduces Thermal Specialization and Prevents Climate-Driven Extinctions in a Neotropical Rainforest. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
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,

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda). [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Ecological and Historical Correlates of Taxonomic, Phylogenetic, and Functional Diversity of Amphibians in South American Rainforests and Savannas. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study identifies the key drivers of anuran amphibian diversity (taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic) across South America's Cerrado, Amazonia, and Atlantic Rainforest. Although taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity consistently increased with long‐term climatic stability in all regions, functional diversity was primarily influenced by current ...

First assessment of the avifauna of Araucaria forests and other habitats from extreme southern Minas Gerais, Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil, with notes on biogeography and conservation

Papeis Avulsos De Zoologia, 2009
The avifauna of the Araucaria forests in the higher reaches of the Serra da Mantiqueira massif is little known and poorly documented. This region is recognized as an important area of differentiation of birds in southeastern Brazil.
