Assessing how the disturbances affect the physical structure and biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems has become a critical research priority. Bauxite mining is economically important in the Amazon, but associated infrastructure may influence freshwater biodiversity. We evaluated the effects of a bauxite ore pipeline on the community structure of semiaquatic bugs (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) in 40 streams of the eastern Amazon,...
Sampling completeness changes perceptions of continental scale climate–species richness relationships in odonatesNARA Subscribed
Aim Insects are one of the least studied taxa, with most species lacking basic ecological and biogeographical information. This problem is particularly acute in the tropics, where low sampling effort hampers accurate estimates of species richness at scale and potentially confounds efforts to identify the drivers of biogeographical gradients. Here, we evaluate the quality of the data on the distribution and diversity of odonate...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
Books, articles, government documents, and other written accounts of tropical biology and conservation reach a tiny fraction of their potential audience. Some texts are inaccessible because of the language in which they are written. Others are only available to subscribers of developed‐world journals, or distributed narrowly within tropical countries. To examine this dysfunction in the tropical literature—and what it means for...
