Selective defaunation affects dung beetle communities in continuous Atlantic rainforest
(2013-07-01)
Overhunting has caused severe decline or local extinction in many large-bodied mammals with direct consequences on plant regeneration, yet little is known about indirect impacts of selective defaunation on commensal species. ...
Estimating fish production in the itaipu reservoir (Brazil): The relationship between fish trophic guilds, limnology, and application of morphoedaphic index
(2014-10-01)
Many experimental studies contributed to the development of the theory of the lacustrine food web, disclosing the important paper of the fish, for decades ignored by the limnology. This work is based on the hypothesis of ...

Mammal defaunation as surrogate of trophic cascades in a biodiversity hotspot
(2013-07-01)
Preserving large tracts of natural habitats is essential to maintain biodiversity. Nevertheless, even large areas may still suffer from less visible impacts such as loss of ecological processes. Because mapping ecological ...

Trophic ecology of detritivorous fish along a reservoir cascade in a tropical semi-arid region
(2021-04-01)
The objectives of this study were to investigate the food resources consumed by two species of detritivorous fishes along the Apodi-Mossoró River reservoir cascade system, located in the tropical semi-arid region of Brazil. ...
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of living in a defaunated world
(2013-07-01)
Defaunation, the loss or population decline of medium and large native vertebrates represents a significant threat to the biodiversity of tropical ecosystems. Here we review the anthropogenic drivers of defaunation, provide ...
