A delimitação geográfica de um bioma engloba questões que envolvem fatores ambientais, como clima e características da vegetação, além aspectos políticos. Consequentemente, variações na são recorrentes. Mata Atlântica é dos mais importantes hotspots biodiversidade do mundo historicamente diversas delimitações territoriais foram propostas para esse bioma. Aqui tivemos objetivo 1) discutir as quatro principais 2) com base nos limites existentes, sua união (Limite Integrativo) Intersecção...
Mining causes profound impacts on biodiversity. In Brazil, mining pressure is intense, especially in highly biodiverse regions such as the Espinhaço range. We analyzed direct and indirect effects of potential geographic range 32 anuran eight bird species endemic to eastern Brazil mountaintops. also assessed local biodiversity rate both groups. Currently, 36.44% 28.80% median distribution species, respectively, are affected directly or indirectly by mining. More than half for more 40% two...
The influence of Quaternary climate oscillations on the diversification South American fauna is being increasingly explored. However, most these studies have focused taxa that are endemic to tropical environments, and relatively few treated organisms restricted subtropical biomes. Here we used an integrative phylogeographical framework investigate effects events ecological niche genetic patterns orb-weaver spider Araneus omnicolor (Araneidae). We analyzed mitochondrial (Cytochrome Oxidase I,...
Abstract Aim To assess the distributional patterns of fruit‐feeding butterfly species richness in Atlantic Forest (AF) based on stack distribution models (SSDM); to evaluate relative contribution climate and landscape richness; recommend conservation guidelines for AF regions obtained results. Location Brazilian Forest. Methods We used SSDMs generate potential maps AF. Our dataset comprises 7,062 records 279 species, distributed across 122 local communities. built analysed them separately...
Climate change is a serious threat, and it necessary to prepare for the future climate conditions of grazing areas. Dung beetle species can help mitigate global warming by contributing intense nutrient cycling reduction in greenhouse gas emissions caused cattle farming. Additionally, dung beetles increase soil quality through bioturbation reduce nematodes hematophagous flies’ abundance grasslands There are several inhabiting South American pastures, however, effects on their spatial...
The extinction of frugivores has been considered one the main drivers disruption important ecological processes, such as seed dispersal. Many defaunated forests are too small to restore function by reintroducing large frugivores, tapirs or Ateline monkeys, and long-term fate large-seeded plants in these areas is uncertain. However, fragments still host many species play relevant ecosystem services. Here, we explore use two tortoise species, red-footed (Chelonoidis carbonarius) yellow-footed...
Butterflies are one of the best-known insect groups, and they have been subject numerous studies in ecology evolution, especially tropics. Much attention has given to fruit-feeding butterfly guild biodiversity conservation studies, due relative ease with which taxa may be identified specimens sampled using bait traps. However, there remain many uncertainties about macroecological biogeographical patterns butterflies tropical ecosystems. In present study, we gathered information species local...
One of the most valuable initiatives on massive availability biodiversity data is Global Biodiversity Information Facility, which creating new opportunities to develop and test macroecological knowledge. However, potential uses these are limited by gaps biases associated large-scale distributional databases (the so-called Wallacean shortfall). Describing quantifying limitations essential improve knowledge biodiversity, especially in poorly-studied groups, such as mosses. Here we assess...
Marine amphipods are crustaceans that lack a larval phase and consequently have low dispersion rates. Despite that, these present remarkable ability to be transported by rafting on natural floating substrata, especially macroalgae, where they find shelter, food mating ground. The species Ampithoe marcuzzii is widely distributed throughout the western Atlantic Ocean. Here, it was used as model study seascape genomics phylogeography in invertebrates with capacities. We anticipated lineages...
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change represents one of the main threats to global biodiversity, and such alterations are expected induce shifts in distribution ranges diversity patterns. We evaluate if protected areas forest remnants Atlantic Forest South America (AF) projected ensure taxonomic (TD) phylogenetic (PD) non‐volant small mammals under scenarios future climate change. Location (AF), America. Methods used Species Distribution Modelling (SDMs) through an ensemble approach assess potential...
Abstract Species distributions are influenced by both climate conditions and landscape structure. Here we propose an integrated analysis of climatic niche‐based models for a forest‐dependent primate, the endangered black lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus ). We applied variables to predict distribution this used information prioritize strategic areas more accurately. anticipated that approach would be beneficial selection pertinent conservation strategies flagship species. First,...
A key challenge for conservation biology in the Neotropics is to understand how deforestation affects biodiversity at various levels of landscape fragmentation. Addressing this requires expanding coverage known data, which remain date restricted a few well-surveyed regions. Here, we assess sampling and biases data on fruit-feeding butterflies Brazilian Atlantic Forest, discussing their effect our understanding relationship between forest fragmentation large-scale. We hypothesize that effort...
<title>Abstract</title> Climate change is considered a driver for the spread of invasive alien species (IAS); nevertheless, research assessing this link remains limited. Recognizing suitable habitats where IAS have been introduced crucial biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. Here, we integrated online, museum, laboratory occurrence databases with local ecological knowledge (LEK) on fishes from semi-structured interviews georeferenced Instagram posts traditional recreational...
The status of taxonomic knowledge varies across the Globe. Quantifying and mapping geographic patterns is essential to prioritise regions that require greater attention from community. Here, we compiled all valid orthopteran species names their synonyms, extracted Catalogue Life (CoL) allocated them geographically, based on data Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Orthoptera Species File (OSF). This allowed us create measures effort, date descriptions number associated synonyms...
Abstract Climate change is an important factor affecting species dispersal and distribution through time the accelerated global warming has currently concerned decision makers conservationists. Because protected areas are spatially static, extinction risk generally expected to increase under climate scenarios as a consequence of range shift decrease. This study aims understand current conservation status Actinote quadra, neotropical threatened butterfly species, well predict how it will be...
