Global sustainability rests on a myriad of benefits provided by natural ecosystems that support human livelihoods and well-being, from biodiversity persistence to climate regulation. The undeniable importance conserving tropical forests has drawn most the conservation spotlight towards it. However, open such as Brazilian Campo Rupestre (rupestrian grassland), have been historically overlooked despite their high diversity key associated ecosystem services. We highlight major current threats...
Recent studies have argued that changes in fire regimes the 21st century are posing a major threat to global biodiversity. In this scenario, incorporating species’ physiological, ecological, and evolutionary traits with their local exposure might facilitate accurate identification of species most at risk from fire. Here, we developed framework for identifying animal vulnerable extinction fire-induced stress Brazilian savanna. The proposed addresses vulnerability two components: (1) exposure,...
Em 2020, incêndios em vegetação queimaram aproximadamente 40 mil hectares e mataram 17 milhões de vertebrados. Esse evento catastrófico, caracterizado pelo comportamento extremo do fogo facilitado pela combinação matéria orgânica acumulada seca prolongada, evidenciou tanto a vulnerabilidade ecossistema pantaneiro frente aos sazonais quanto necessidade um entendimento mais amplo sobre seus possíveis efeitos na biodiversidade local nas dinâmicas ecossistêmicas. Este estudo explora dos...
Parasitic plants (mistletoes) may alter the growth, reproduction and physiology of their hosts. Mimosa calodendron (Fabaceae) is a legume abundant in rupestrian fields on ironstone outcrops, frequently attacked by hemiparasite Struthanthus flexicaulis (Loranthaceae). The objective this study was to evaluate consequences parasitism S. fitness M. calodendron. intensity mortality hosts different sizes evaluated, foliage cover, fruit seed set parasitized non-parasitized individuals were...
<title>Abstract</title> The Pantanal, the Earth's largest continuous wetland, experienced severe impacts from wildfires in 2019 and, particularly, 2020. surge can be attributed to several factors, including climate extremes, inadequate fire management, ineffective policymaking, as well commercial and demographic dynamics. Understanding economic effects of is crucial for guiding resource allocation toward prevention, firefighting efforts, policymaking. This study aims examine losses resulting...
