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 ...
The role of spider hunting mode on the strength of spider–plant mutualisms
(2018-09-01)
The strength and outcome of mutualistic interactions can be highly dependent on the combination of traits of the species involved. Distinct foraging strategies (e.g., hunting mode) of mutualistic predators may cause ...
Megafauna and ecosystem function from the Pleistocene to the Anthropocene
(Natl Acad Sciences, 2016-01-26)
Large herbivores and carnivores (the megafauna) have been in a state of decline and extinction since the Late Pleistocene, both on land and more recently in the oceans. Much has been written on the timing and causes of ...
A tale of two lakes: Fish introduction and the biodiversity of upland Amazonian lakes
(BrasilUFRNPROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ECOLOGIA, 2016-02-29)
A single semi-analytical algorithm to retrieve chlorophyll-a concentration in oligo-to-hypereutrophic waters of a tropical reservoir cascade
(2021-01-01)
Previous studies have shown the challenges in using a single model to estimate chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) in water bodies with widely differing characteristics. A single model based on remote sensing to map the ...
Frugivory and seed dispersal by tapirs: an insight on their ecological role
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-03-01)
Tapirs are one of the last extant megafauna species that survived the Pleistocene extinctions. Given their size and digestive system characteristics, tapirs might be the last potential seed disperser of plant species that ...
