Caatinga Revisited: Ecology and Conservation of an Important Seasonal Dry Forest
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Besides its extreme climate conditions, the Caatinga (a type of tropical seasonal forest) hosts an impressive faunal and floristic biodiversity. In the last 50 years there has been a considerable increase in the number of studies in the area. Here we aimed to present a review of these studies, focusing on four main fields: vertebrate ecology, plant ...

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The taxonomy of Chilean Myotis has long been contentious, particularly regarding the status of M. arescens relative to M. atacamensis and M. chiloensis. Here, we use an integrative framework combining genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), morphometrics, and bioacoustics to reassess lineage boundaries and evolutionary relationships in ...

When Raptors Are Away, Opossums Will Play: Woolly Opossums as Carrion Feeders in Harpy Eagle Nests
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Scavenging by New World marsupials is rarely documented. We recorded woolly opossums (Caluromys lanatus) scavenging prey remains from a Harpy eagle’s nest in central Brazil. The low overlap in activity periods between the two species may facilitate the behavior observed here.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change represents one of the main threats to global biodiversity, and such alterations are expected to induce shifts in distribution ranges and diversity patterns. We evaluate if protected areas and forest remnants in the Atlantic Forest in South America (AF) are projected to ensure the taxonomic diversity (TD) and phylogenetic ...
