ABSTRACT Understanding how habitat quality affects wildlife is one of the fundamental questions conservation biology and ecology. Across tropics, loss degradation threaten arboreal species, such as primates. To establish well‐founded, species‐specific management plans, it crucial to have an adequate understanding a species' diet, behaviour, habitat, ecology physiology. Measuring physiological stress in these species offers exclusive insight into they cope adapt within their environment....
ABSTRACT Questions Inselbergs, isolated rock outcrops, support unique plant communities. Maritime inselbergs (MIs) experience transient isolation due to maritime fluctuations, creating harsh survival conditions. This study is the first investigate communities' patterns on MIs, comparing them with those continental (CIs). We explore how oceanic filtering and climatic factors shape species phylogenetic diversity, threatened statuses of species, impact extinction scenarios diversity structure....
Daily, primates take a variety of decisions to establish why, when, and where move. However, little is known about the factors influencing shaping primate daily routes. We investigated decision-making processes linked route planning in four groups black lion tamarins (BLT-Leontopithecus chrysopygus). studied these endangered platyrrhines within distinct environmental contexts across their natural distribution (i.e., continuous forest, 500-ha forest fragment, 100-ha riparian forest). used...
Abstract A floristic survey of climbing plants was carried out in an ecotone area seasonal semideciduous forest (SSF) and forested savanna (CER), Porto Ferreira State Park (PFSP), Southeastern Brazil. We sampled the reproductive specimens every month during two periods, March 2010 to September 2011 April July 2015. The surveys were performed by walking method, individuals classified habit, mechanism dispersal mode. Overall, 109 species, belonging 67 genera 29 families, recorded; 49 species...
Given the cryptic and elusive nature of prey consumption, quantifying its contribution to diet free-ranging primates using behavioral methods is challenging. In this context, use carbon nitrogen-stable isotopes represents a promising alternative approach. Here, we used stable isotope analysis estimate proportion arthropods fruits in black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus), an endangered primate endemic Brazilian Atlantic Forest. To do so, ran mixing models isotopic data from hair...
A new species of bromeliad, Tillandsia uiraretama, is here described and illustrated. uiraretama was discovered during fieldwork on an insular granitic outcrop in southeast Brazil. The proposed taxon belongs to T. subgenus Anoplophytum compared the morphological related araujei, aeranthos, iassuensis, tenuifolia. It differs from them by unique combination fertile portion inflorescence with 4–7.5 cm long, 8 16 flowers per inflorescence, flower length 3–3.4 cm, floral bract 1.7–3.8 petal lilac...
Abstract We present camera trap evidence of 10 Atlantic Forest mammals fur‐rubbing, licking, or biting balsam from cabreúvas ( Myroxylon peruiferum , Fabaceae), native trees used in traditional medicine for their prophylactic and therapeutic virtues. Given the antiparasitic properties may be using as topical self‐medication to repel ectoparasites. Portuguese is available with online material.
December is a time of reflection on the challenges past year as well our hopes for coming one.The experiences from June Symposium in Brazil are still vibrating minds, and this issue again devoted mainly to them.With pleasure, we awaiting forthcoming meeting Palermo next year, welcome call also included issue.Large animal species like Sea eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) known people, their rapid decline 1950ies 1960ies Central Europe received large public attention.Their increase over decades by...
Based on recent field work an insular granitic outcrop in southeast Brazil, a new Tillandsia species was collected and described here. alcatrazensis belongs to T. subg. Anoplophytum is morphologically similar geminiflora, from which it differs by the larger size of whole plant flower, floral bracts longer flowers with reddish-salmon sepals white petals, styles. We present diagnosis, description, color photographs, illustration, ecological, phenotypical variation comments, compares related...
Peperomia is a mega-diverse herbaceous genus with high species richness in the Neotropics, growing mainly as epiphyte or rupicolous/saxicolous. Fourteen subgenera are recognized based on molecular phylogenies. In this study, contributions to P. subg. Pseudocupula Brazil presented. During an ongoing taxonomic revision of pereskiifolia and allied taxa Brazil, some incongruent circumscriptions were found which discussed here. pereirae f. proposed new synonym rubricaulis, combination status...
Abstract The Ibitipoca Mountains occur in southeastern Minas Gerais state, Southeast Brazil, and includes a mosaic of different vegetation types, as part the Atlantic Forest domain. Such heterogeneity results occurrence several ecotones region, considered essential buffer zones for maintaining biodiversity structure among adjacent ecosystems. Given importance these environments conservation, floristic surveys are important to catalogue plant richness natural areas, where species landscapes...
<title>Abstract</title> Community assemblies in tropical forests are influenced by both environmental filtering and anthropogenic disturbance processes, posing significant challenges ecological research. We assessed the impact of selective logging on Atlantic tree communities at two elevational belts. Our study aimed to disentangle these complex effects, acknowledging that results can vary based clades used analyses. performed analyses considering species level phylogenetic approaches,...
<title>Abstract</title> Unveiling the ecological processes driving diversity and its relationship to environment remains a central goal in studies. Here, we investigated elevation effect on plant patterns of tropical rainforests, using beta-, phylogenetic alpha diversities. To do so, compiled forest dataset with 22,236 trees (DBH ≥ 4.8 cm) from 17 plots 1 ha each along an elevational gradient (0 – 1,200 m a.s.l) Atlantic Forest Southeastern Brazil. We found high species rates turnover...
We evaluated the floristic and structural composition of a tree community in an ecotone between Cerrado (cerradão) Atlantic Forest (seasonal semideciduous forest) domains located Porto Ferreira State Park (PFSP), southeastern Brazil. compared relationships this with those previous surveys carried out on same vegetation types checked species distribution among Brazilian biomes. sampled all living trees PBH>10 cm 64 10x10 m plots (0.64 ha), totaling 1,755 individuals belonging to 101 37...
Abstract: The Porto Ferreira State Park (PFSP) is located in the of São Paulo southeastern Brazil, an intriguing transitional area between Atlantic Forest and Cerrado - both hotspots biodiversity represented mainly by cerradão (CER), seasonal semideciduous forest (SSF), with its alluvial variation vegetation type (riparian RP). Ecotonal areas play important role providing ecological phytogeographic knowledge regarding flora this region. Despite various studies on PFSP, region remains...
