The American manatee ( Trichechus manatus ) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater. We applied MaxEnt modeling to presence‐only data (sightings and filtered telemetry records) to p...

Sternochetus mangiferae is a pest of mangoes, occurring worldwide in regions where mangoes are cultivated. In Brazil, this insect was first detected in 2014 in Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro, and since then, various measures and studies have been conducted to contain, monitor and potentially eradicate it. Semiochemicals may provide feasible targets to develop sensitive detection and monitoring tools. Therefore, this study aimed to...

Non‐native species introductions have caused biodiversity loss worldwide, yet it is unclear how temporal diversity patterns vary across native and non‐native communities, and what mechanisms control their respective dynamics and assembly. Using a unique 12‐year time series dataset of arthropods sampled in forest fragments on Terceira Island, we observed no systematic species losses but steady temporal β‐diversity (Sørensen dis...

Bees are essential for ecosystem functioning, pollinating many wild and crop plant species. Predicting which species are most vulnerable to global changes, and how their loss may impact ecosystems and human well-being, is critical. Comprehensive information on bee response and effect traits is fundamental to these assessments. However, the Raunkiærian shortfall—insufficient trait data—remains significant for bees, particularly...

Aim To investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of fish assemblages across the Northern Brazilian Shelf, a vast and complex ecosystem influenced by the Amazon River plume, we aimed to identify fish assemblage types, understand transitions between them from the river mouth to offshore reefs, and examine seasonal changes related to plume dynamics. Location Northern Brazilian Shelf (Western Atlantic Ocean), from the Amazon R...
