Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim). We also modeled the environmental variables as a function of spatial and temporal variables and...

Snakebites are a worldwide public health problem with high-cost treatment in many countries. Crotalus genus snakes, commonly known as rattlesnakes, cause the most lethal snakebites in Brazil. Crotalus ssp envenomation is characterised by systemic neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, renal failure and minor local effects. Despite the knowledge of envenomation’s pathogenesis, the impact of Crotalus venom on adipose tissue (AT) cells is u...

Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically bats. We used species distribution models and a comprehensive ecological and morphometr...
