Wide variation in hydraulic safety margins across and within southern Amazon forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Site‐specific conditions and species identity were the main drivers of variation in Ψdry and HSM50 in southern Amazonian trees, but played a weaker role in explaining Ψ50. Ψpredawn strongly predicted HSM50. Across the Amazon, Ψ50_CWM and Ψdry_CWM became more negative with increasing MCWD, whereas HSM50_CWM showed no significant relationship with MCWD ...

Landscape features predict broad‐scale seed rain patterns across fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders.

Navigating uncertainty in life cycle assessment‐based approaches to biodiversity footprinting

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1387-1404, May 2026.
Abstract The use of life cycle assessment (LCA) methods is rapidly expanding as a means of estimating the biodiversity impacts of organisations across complex value chains. However, these methods have limitations and substantial uncertainties, which are rarely communicated in the results of LCAs.

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Applying Occupancy Modelling to Inform Conservation Strategies for a Threatened Parrot Population

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Parrots provide essential ecological functions that are critical to ecosystem health, yet they are among the most threatened avian orders. Southern palm cockatoos (Probosciger aterrimus macgillivrayi) are predicted to face severe population declines due to land clearing, altered fire regimes, and low reproductive success.

Inferences on Frog Responses to Forest Cover Depend on Sampling Method and Reproductive Mode

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sampling choices can bias assessments of biodiversity responses to habitat loss, compromising conservation strategies in vulnerable ecosystems such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the efficiency of three frog sampling methods (active search, plot sampling, and pitfall traps) across Atlantic Forest remnants to estimate species ...
