Abstract The forests of southeastern Amazonia are highly threatened by disturbances such as fragmentation, understory fires, and extreme climatic events. Large‐bodied frugivores the lowland tapir ( Tapirus terrestris ) have potential to offset this process, supporting natural forest regeneration dispersing a variety seeds over long distances disturbed forests. However, we know little about their effectiveness seed dispersers in degraded landscapes. Here, investigate dispersal function tapirs...
Biodiversity data, particularly species occurrence and abundance, are indispensable for testing empirical hypothesis in natural sciences. However, datasets built research programmes do not often meet FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable reusable) principles, which raises questions about data quality, accuracy availability. The 21 st century has markedly been a new era science analytics every effort to aggregate, standardise, filter share biodiversity from multiple sources have become...
Abstract Tadpoles have diverse morphologies and occupy habitats. The morphological differences between tadpoles can be represented by linear geometric measurements used to explain the organization of tadpole assemblages. However, effects evolutionary history must isolated from before we determine which patterns result use sharing common ecological resources. Here, aimed how similarities phylogenetic distances affect microhabitat choice tadpoles. We analyzed 101 anuran species classified them...
Even though Brazil is the world leader in amphibian diversity, a significant part of its richness remains unknown or hidden under cryptic taxa. Here, we used model-based species delimitation an integrative taxonomic approach, by gathering molecular and morphometric data to assess taxa within monkey frogs Pithecopus rohdei, from Atlantic Forest, P. megacephalus, campos rupestres ecosystem. We sampled one mitochondrial, five nuclear loci, 18 variables. Using species-delimitation methods with...
Protected areas (PAs) are a widely recognized tool for biodiversity and ecosystem conservation. However, megadiverse countries struggle to manage, maintain, expand PAs as they face mounting human pressures. The Brazilian Cerrado biome (a hotspot) is experiencing increasing land-use changes paired with loss of natural vegetation, only 3.2% its land area under strict protections. Long-Term Ecological Research Program (LTER) was created in 1997 monitor long-term protected non-protected biomes....

In this study, we investigated the environmental variables that best explained tadpole occurrence, as well associations between and morphological traits of tadpoles. We modelled occurrence tadpoles to evaluate significance trait–environment relationships by sampling in 86 ponds, measuring a set descriptors these determining tadpoles’ external-morphology changes using generalised linear mixed model approach. The fitting predicting included all measured (pond dimensions, pond margin type,...
The processes and timescales associated with ocean-wide changes in the distribution of marine species have intrigued biologists since Darwin's earliest insights into biogeography. Azores, a mid-Atlantic volcanic archipelago located >1000 km off European continental shelf, offers ideal opportunities to investigate phylogeographic colonisation scenarios. benthopelagic sparid fish known as common two-banded seabream (Diplodus vulgaris) is now relatively along coastline Azores archipelago, but...
Understanding how community compositions are affected by environmental and spatial factors essential to provide knowledge about the distributions of species. Furthermore, these can play a role in species morphological variation. Tadpoles be found different types aquatic microhabitats, showing considerable amount diversity. We hypothesized that tadpole diversity is controlled ecological other than assemblage attributes, composition factors. To test hypotheses, we recorded abundance tadpoles...
Intensive agriculture alters headwater streams, but our understanding of its effects is limited in tropical regions where rates agricultural expansion and intensification are currently greatest. Riparian forest protections an important conservation tool, whether they provide adequate protection stream function these areas rapid development has not been well studied. To address gaps, we conducted a study the lowland Brazilian Amazon, area undergoing cropland expansion, to assess land use...
Tadpoles have been classified into ecomorphological guilds according to their general morphology, feeding behavior, and ecology. Individuals of benthic nektonic distinguished morphological traits, but they can also adapt morphology in response environmental changes through phenotypic plasticity. We hypothesized that the degree variation would not be equal for different guilds. predicted a high correlation between tadpoles, while intermediate benthic-nektonic tadpoles less correlated with...
Abstract Fire can change gallery forest vegetation structure, thereby altering nutrient fluxes between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In Brazilian savannas, which are fire‐prone ecosystems, the fire regime is changing due to human activities such as converting native farmland urban areas. Uncontrolled wildfires in these savannas reach forests, more sensitive impacts, leading concerns about effects of on structure freshwater We analysed relationships severity (the degree has changed an...
<p>Wildfire effects on riparian zones and stream water can be significant, particularly in the vegetation recovery flow of nutrients between terrestrial aquatic ecosystem. However, integrated knowledge about impacts fire ecosystems Brazilian Cerrado is poorly known. In Cerrado, wildfire one main vectors degradation vegetation, because forest formation more sensitive to than other savanna due a less evident fire-adaptations. Our objective was understand resilience their...
Ensuring the preservation of biodiversity is essential for humankind, as ecosystem services it provides are directly linked to human well-being and health. The private sector has increasingly recognized need achieve Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance (ESG) through measurable indicators effective data collection (Rashed 2021). Extensive field research often needed initiatives generate socio-economic environmental assessments, which usually requires hiring service providers. Regarding...
