Sex- and age-dependent patterns of survival and breeding success in a long-lived endangered avian scavenger
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-12)
In long-lived species, the age-, stage- and/or sex-dependent patterns of survival and reproduction determine the evolution of life history strategies, the shape of the reproductive value, and ultimately population dynamics. ...
Unraveling the drivers of community dissimilarity and species extinction in fragmented landscapes
(ECOLOGICAL SOC AMERWASHINGTON, 2012)
Communities in fragmented landscapes are often assumed to be structured by species extinction due to habitat loss, which has led to extensive use of the species-area relationship (SAR) in fragmentation studies. However, ...
Beyond species loss: the extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-03)
The effects of the present biodiversity crisis have been largely focused on the loss of species. However, a missed component of biodiversity loss that often accompanies or even precedes species disappearance is the extinction ...
Effect of urbanization on the avifauna in a tropica metropolitan area
(2011)
The rapid and unplanned expansion of urban areas is a common pattern in neotropical developing countries. Urbanization has eliminated or drastically altered large areas of natural habitats used by the rich neotropical ...
Exotic species elicit decoupled responses in functional diversity components of freshwater fish assemblages in Chile
(Elsevier, 2021)
In the freshwater basins of central Chile, 28 exotic species have been introduced, which have contributed to
increase taxonomic diversity. Nevertheless, how these species have modified the components of functional ...
Intra-specific downsizing of frugivores affects seed germination of fleshy-fruited plant species
(Elsevier Masson, 2018-01)
The loss of largest-bodied individuals within species of frugivorous animals is one of the major consequences of defaunation. The gradual disappearance of large-bodied frugivores is expected to entail a parallel deterioration ...
Neogene palynostratigraphic zonation of the Marañon Basin, Western Amazonia, Peru
(American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists Foundation, 2019-09)
The palynology (150 species of pollen grains, 43 species of spores, eight species of dinoflagellate cysts, five genera of algae, two genera of fungal spores, foraminiferal linings, and copepod eggs) of the Neogene succession ...
Mexico’s Biocultural Diversity in Peril
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2020)
Helminths of eight anuran species from a remnant riparian forest in the cerrado biome, Brazil
(2020-01-01)
Parasites are important organisms in the ecosystem’s functions and it is an overlooked biodiversity, in areas severely affected by human activities, e.g. Brazilian Cerrado, most of its species often disappear without them ...
