Local extinction risk of three species of lizard from Patagonia as a result of global warming
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2015-10)
Recently, Sinervo et al. (2010, Science, 328: 894–899) reported declines of lizard biodiversity due to local warming trends and altered thermal niches. Herein, we applied the Sinervo et al. (2010) physiological model to ...

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 ...

Bushmeat hunting and extinction risk to the world’s mammals
(2016-10-19)
Terrestrial mammals are experiencing a massive collapse in their population sizes and geographical ranges around the world, but many of the drivers, patterns and consequences of this decline remain poorly understood. Here ...
Selecting and ranking areas for conservation of Aegla (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) in southern South America integrating biogeography, phylogeny and assessments of extinction risk
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-05)
The rapid degradation of freshwater habitats in southern South America may cause the extinction of the endemic species of Aegla, as well as other freshwater species and components of riverside environments related to them. ...
Stress influences the dynamics of hippocampal structural remodeling associated with fear memory extinction
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Fear extinction is defined as a decline in fear-conditioned responses following non-reinforced exposure to a fear conditioned stimulus, therefore the conditioned stimulus gains new predictive properties. Patients with ...
Frugivores at higher risk of extinction are the key elements of a mutualistic network
(Ecological Soc Amer, 2014-12-01)
Most tree species rely on vertebrates for seed dispersal, and many vertebrates use fruits as food resources in tropical forests. Therefore, plant-frugivore interactions affect population dynamics and persistence in ecological ...
