Reduced evolutionary potential of a frugivorous bird species in fragmented forests
; Galetti, Mauro
; ; (Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022) [Artigo]
Morphological attributes are important in determining the success of ecological interactions, such as the interactions between fleshy fruited plants and their seed dispersers. Morphological traits can present high levels ... -
Scale affects the understanding of biases on the spatial knowledge of Atlantic Forest primates
; ; ; Silveira, Natália Stefanini da; Culot, Laurence ; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar ; ; (Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022) [Artigo]
The biodiversity knowledge has several deficits. The wallacean shortfall—related to species distribution unknowledge—is one of the most studied shortfalls. It is important to identify gaps and biases in spatial biodiversity ... -
Reconstruction and variability of tropical pollination networks in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar; ; (Community Ecology, 2022) [Artigo]
Loss of biodiversity comprehends not only the extinction of individual species, but also the loss of the ecological interactions among them. Survival of species, continuation of ecosystem functioning in nature, and ecosystem ... -
A seed dispersal effectiveness framework across the mutualism–antagonism continuum
; Villar, Nacho; ; ; ; ; Galetti, Mauro ; ; ; (Oikos, 2022) [Artigo]
Many angiosperms rely on vertebrates for seed dispersal via gut passage, an interaction that has been traditionally classified as a mutualism. The seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) framework provides a mechanistic approach ... -
Frugivory and seed dispersal by the Red-footed Tortoise Chelonoidis carbonaria
; ; Galetti, Mauro (Acta Oecologica, 2022) [Artigo]
Seed dispersal by frugivores is essential in plant life cycles, with birds and mammals the principal and well-studied dispersal agents. However, there is an increasing recognition that terrestrial tortoises could also be ... -
First Record of Jaguar (Panthera onca) and Potential Prey Species in Sierra de Quila, Jalisco, Mexico
; ; ; ; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar; (Western North American Naturalist, 2022) [Artigo]
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is considered a keystone species for neotropical ecosystems. Jaguar records in natural protected areas (NPAs) are important to manage and maintain the long-Term occupancy of the species in a ... -
Long-term persistence of the large mammal lowland tapir is at risk in the largest Atlantic forest corridor
; ; ; ; Galetti, Mauro; (Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022) [Artigo]
Forest corridor has been considered the main strategy for maintaining gene flow between isolated populations, yet their effectivity is poorly tested. Assessing signatures of genetic variation loss, gene flow reduction and ... -
Forest cover modulates diversity and morphological traits of ants in highly fragmented tropical forest landscapes
; ; ; ; ; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar; ; (Biodiversity and Conservation, 2022) [Artigo]
Landscape changes in tropical environments result in long-lasting and complex changes in biodiversity that involve several biological responses (e.g., loss of species diversity and functional diversity). Both taxonomic and ... -

Natural habitat cover and fragmentation per se influence orchid-bee species richness in agricultural landscapes in the Brazilian Cerrado
; dos Santos, Juliana Silveira; ; ; ; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar ; ; (Apidologie, 2022) [Artigo]
Habitat loss and fragmentation in the human‐modified landscape affect bee assemblages by reducing the available natural resources. The life history features and adaptations of bees to environmental conditions affect how ... -
Sexual Maturity of an Endemic Insular Land Crab: Priority Information toward the Conservation of Johngarthia lagostoma
João, Marcio C. A.; ; Bispo da Silva, Letícia S. ; ; Pinheiro, Marcelo A. A. (Biological Bulletin, 2022) [Artigo]
Insular land crabs (Gecarcinidae) can transit between terrestrial and aquatic environments and inhabit vacant ecological niches that other species do not occupy in oceanic islands. During the reproductive period, these ... -
Which birds are Brazilians seeing on urban and non-urban feeders? An analysis based on a collective online birding
(Ornithology Research, 2022) [Artigo]Many studies have shown the positive and negative impacts of feeding wild birds using feeders; however, none of them considered case studies in Brazil. In 2020, social isolation measures imposed by COVID-19 boosted Brazilians’ ... -
Coffee cover surrounding forest patches negatively affect Euglossini bee communities (vol 53, 42, 2022)

Estimating the diversity of tropical anurans in fragmented landscapes with acoustic monitoring: lessons from a sampling sufficiency perspective
Anunciacao, Paula Ribeiro; ; ; ; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar (Biodiversity And Conservation, 2022) [Artigo]
Determining the distribution and abundance of populations is the first step toward assessing biodiversity conservation status. This step is based on field observations that are largely influenced by the sampling method ... -
The courtship call of Bokermannohyla ibitiguara (Anura: Hylidae) and details of its mating behavior
Nali, Renato C.; ; Prado, Cynthia P. A. (Caldasia, 2022) [Artigo]
Complex courtships have been described for neotropical frogs, but detailed quantifications of calls emitted during this behavior are still rare. Herein, we describe the courtship call of Bokermannohyla ibitiguara, a gladiator ... -
The effect of past defaunation on ranges, niches, and future biodiversity forecasts
; Galetti, Mauro; ; ; ; (Global Change Biology, 2022) [Artigo]
Humans have reshaped the distribution of biodiversity across the globe, extirpating species from regions otherwise suitable and restricting populations to a subset of their original ranges. Here, we ask if anthropogenic ... -
Altitude and temperature drive anuran community assembly in a Neotropical mountain region
Matavelli, Rodrigo; Oliveira, Juliano Machado ; ; Ribeiro, Milton Cezar ; (Biotropica, 2022) [Artigo]
Understanding the spatial variation in species richness and the mechanisms that limit species range sizes along geographical gradients belong to the central research issues in macroecology. Here, we aim to test the topographic ... -
Best of both worlds: Combining ecological and social research to inform conservation decisions in a Neotropical biodiversity hotspot
(Journal for Nature Conservation, 2022) [Artigo]Conservation decision is a challenging and risky task when it aims at prioritizing species or protected areas (PAs) to prevent extinction while ensuring fair treatment of all stakeholders. Better conservation decisions are ... -
Predicting resilience and stability of early second-growth forests
