Landscape properties must be considered in the interpretation of ecological patterns of stream macroalgal communities. In this study, we sampled streams with different types of riparian cover from two biomes (highland ...

Despite growing recognition of the conservation value of grassy biomes, our understanding of how to restore biodiverse tropical and subtropical grassy biomes (grasslands and savannas; TGB) remains limited. Several tools ...

Riparian forests are plant formations associated with environments with water courses, valued, mostly, for the role of stabilizing riverbanks and allow species gene flow. This work aims to survey the flora of herbaceous ...

Background and Aims: Phenotypic plasticity and local adaption can contribute to the success of invasive species. While the former is an environmentally induced trait, the latter involves a selection process to filter the ...

Few biologists have studied the evolutionary processes at work in indoor environments. Yet indoor environments comprise approximately 0.5% of ice-free land area – an area as large as the subtropical coniferous forest biome. ...

The Atlantic Forest biome and its associated ecosystems are of great ecological importance in Brazil. Studies aimed at obtaining the quantification of biomass in areas with this coverage can provide important data on the ...

The increasing global demand for lumber and pulp has led to the conversion of natural habitats into monocultures of fast-growing tree plantations. The environmental filtering model proposes that both environmental ...

Urbanization is an expanding process worldwide, causing major threats to biodiversity through both species extinction and biotic homogenization. Most studies focusing on urban ecosystems have been conducted in temperate ...
