Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

Anthropogenic nesting substrates increase parental fitness in a Neotropical songbird, the pale‐breasted thrush Turdus leucomelas

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, January 2025.
The failure of breeding attempts is a major hindrance to bird reproduction, making nest site choice under strong selective pressure. Urbanization may offer lower risk of nest predation to certain bird species, but the impact of using anthropogenic structures as nesting sites on parental fitness is seldom studied.

Sporophila ruficollis

, 2018
Sporophila ruficollis (MPR): occurs in northern and eastern Bolivia, western and central Paraguay, northern Argentina, northern and western Uruguay and Brazil (Jaramillo, 2011b). It arrives on the breeding site in late November and remains there until December; a large part of the population overwinters in the Cerrado in MT and in other hotter, more ...

Assessing the global prevalence of wild birds in trade

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Trade represents a significant threat to many wild species and is often clandestine and poorly monitored. Information on which species are most prevalent in trade and potentially threatened by it therefore remains fragmentary. We used 7 global data sets on birds in trade to identify species or groups of species at particular risk and assessed ...

Tiny Bird, Huge Mystery-The Possibly Extinct Hooded Seedeater (Sporophila melanops) Is a Capuchino with a Melanistic Cap.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Known with certainty solely from a unique male specimen collected in central Brazil in the first quarter of the 19th century, the Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) Hooded Seedeater Sporophila melanops has been one of the great enigmas of ...

Integrating multiple data sources to develop range and area of habitat maps tailored for local contexts

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Aim Global species distribution maps tend to be limited to a reduced number of species or are too coarse to inform ecological research and conservation actions at local scales. We developed a workflow to generate species range and area of habitat (AOH) maps tailored to local contexts based on expert information, community science observations ...

Global distribution range of birds is negatively correlated with their level of diet specialization

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 10, Page 2062-2069, October 2024.
Abstract Aim Understanding the factors determining the size of a species distribution range is crucial to preventing the extinction of vulnerable species, particularly specialist species. Previous research has shown that climate and various traits of a species significantly affect its distribution range size.
