Trithrinax acanthocoma Drude is an endangered palm tree, rarely found and restricted to southern Brazil. The scarcity of basic information on the biology and quality of its seeds hinders the development of strategies for physiological evaluation, seedling production, and species conservation. Given this gap, this study aimed to characterize the morphobiometry of fruits and pyrenes, establish correlations between biometric vari...

Aim Mountain roads host plant communities that differ strongly from the adjacent natural vegetation. Besides the effect of propagule pressure, altered disturbance and soil processes, one of the reasons given for the strong influence of mountain roads on species distributions is a significantly altered soil thermal microclimate in the roadside compared to the adjacent vegetation, as a direct consequence of road disturbance. How...

Managing wildlife populations in the face of global change requires regular data on the abundance and distribution of wild animals, but acquiring these over appropriate spatial scales in a sustainable way has proven challenging. Here we present the data from Snapshot USA 2020, a second annual national mammal survey of the USA. This project involved 152 scientists setting camera traps in a standardized protocol at 1485 location...
