Importance of local and landscape variables on multiple facets of stream fish biodiversity in a Neotropical agroecosystem
(2020-01-01)
Few studies have considered the effects of environmental variables at different spatial scales on Neotropical stream biodiversity. Furthermore, scale-related studies mostly include only one facet of biodiversity. To determine ...
Landscape heterogeneity shapes bird phylogenetic responses at forest–matrix interfaces in Atlantic Forest, Brazil
(2021-03-01)
Agricultural intensification is one of the major factors driving biodiversity loss. However, most studies in human-dominated landscapes have used taxonomic diversity in their analysis, ignoring evolutionary relationships. ...
The phylogenetic structure of plant-pollinator networks increases with habitat size and isolation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-01)
Similarity among species in traits related to ecological interactions is frequently associated with common ancestry. Thus, closely related species usually interact with ecologically similar partners, which can be reinforced ...
Soil bacterial and fungal community structure of a rice monoculture and rice-pasture rotation systems
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Rice monoculture has been the main rice-cropping system for several years. Rice-pasture rotation system has raised in recent years as an alternative, as this practice not only increases rice yield but also adds value through ...
Museums and cradles of diversity are geographically coincident for narrowly distributed Neotropical snakes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
Factors driving the spatial configuration of centres of endemism have long been a topic of broad interest and debate. Due to different eco-evolutionary processes, these highly biodiverse areas may harbour different amounts ...
The latitudinal diversity gradient in South American mammals revisited using a regional analysis approach: The importance of climate at extra-tropical latitudes and history towards the tropics
(Public Library of Science, 2017-09-05)
The latitudinal diversity gradient has been considered a consequence of a shift in the impact of abiotic and biotic factors that limit species distributions from the poles to the equator, thus influencing species richness ...
Managing Neotropical oil palm expansion to retain phylogenetic diversity
(British Ecological SocietyJournal of Applied Ecology, 2017)
An inverse latitudinal gradient in infection probability and phylogenetic diversity for Leucocytozoon blood parasites in New World birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
Geographic variation in environmental conditions as well as host traits that promote parasite transmission may impact infection rates and community assembly of vector-transmitted parasites. Identifying the ecological, ...
