Land use around protected areas affects functional diversity of anuran assemblages in ponds of Southern Brazilian Highland GrasslandsNARA Subscribed
Anthropogenic land-use change drives biodiversity loss by altering habitat structure, reducing connectivity, and reshaping ecological processes, even within protected areas. Although protected areas are key for biodiversity conservation, their effectiveness may depend on the surrounding landscape context. This study evaluates the effects of land use around and within protected areas on species richness and functional diversity...
This paper provides a platform for the following studies within this Special Issue. ‘Ecophysiology of fishes in the two great tributaries of the Amazon in the Anthropocene’. It documents the water quality conditions and accompanying zooplankton community structure and biomass relative to fish health in the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões during the extreme drought of 2023. Our goals were to document conditions, compare them with hi...
So close and unnoted: a new host plant of Cerataphis brasiliensis (Hempel) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)NARA Subscribed
Cerataphis brasiliensis (Hempel) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), the palm aphid, is native to Asia and, in several countries, has been associated with some economically important palm trees (Arecaceae). This study aims to document, for the first time, the occurrence of C. brasiliensis on Butia odorata (Barb. Rodr.) Noblick (Arecaceae) in the municipality of Piracicaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. The identity of the specimens was verifie...
To advance understanding of meiofauna, key components of marine benthic ecosystems, an international team conducted a morphology-based taxonomic survey and workshop around São Miguel, the largest Azorean island, in 2019. The survey yielded critical baseline data on meiofaunal diversity and, despite taxonomic challenges that limited identification of certain taxa, laid a solid foundation for further research. To expand these fi...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
