Ecosystem engineers influence resource availability for other organisms, and thus they play important roles as drivers of community assembly. We investigated the relationship between nest occurrence of secondary cavity ...

Bird-human relationships represent the complex linkage between biological and cultural diversity, and thus integrative but also critical approaches are needed for their effectiveconservation. The Neotropics is a vast ecozone ...

A single dominant objective (e.g. flagship or threatened species) usually shapes the "lenses" through which biodiversity is assessed and managed in forest ecosystems. However, forests are Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) in ...

A major barrier to advancing ornithology is the systemic exclusion of professionals from the Global South. A recent special feature, Advances in Neotropical Ornithology, and a shortfalls analysis therein, unintentionally ...

Comparar la ecología de fauna de localidades distantes puede ayudar en la búsqueda de patrones generales sobre cómo las especies seleccionan los recursos y cómo las interacciones interespecíficas estructuran a las comunidades. ...

Seed-finches are Neotropical passerines highly specialized in the consumption of grass seeds. Most species are endangered because of the conversion of native grasslands into agricultural fields, and they are among the main ...

Conservation practices commonly focus on measures of species diversity that merelyinclude information on species richness (i.e., taxonomic diversity). However, functionaldiversity (range, distribution and density of trait ...

The White-throated Kingbird (Tyrannus albogularis) is a widespread species in north-central South America, where it inhabits a variety of open to semi-open habitats. The breeding biology of the species is almost unknown. ...
