Forest management could potentially affect organisms in all forest habitats. However, aquatic communities in water-filled tree-holes may be especially sensitive because of small population sizes, the risk of drought and ...

Effects of forest harvesting on biodiversity can be varied and complex to understand. We provide a metaanalysisof 553 studies plants, insects and birds to identify the general responses to Variable Retentionharvesting (V...

Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management app...

Tropical forests hold the most species yet face the greatest threats and knowledge gaps. To improve tropical biodiversity knowledge we combined satellite-based LiDAR with in situ bird, mammal, and acoustic soundscape dat...

O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco ...

Habitat fragmentation can have a high impact on parasitoid–ant interactions. Phorid flies are among the most important groups of natural enemies of leaf-cutting ants. We studied the effects of loss in forest cover upon...

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This prediction remains largely untested for tropica...

ABSTRACT We evaluated the local population dynamic of two epiphytic species, Syrrhopodon helicophyllus and Thysananthus amazonicus, over six years from 2014-2020, both before and after the fire event which occurred in th...

The Garbhanga Reserve Forest, located on the south-western side of Guwahati City, covers an area of about 117 km2 and borders the foothills of Meghalaya (26°05´36˝N and 91°44´57˝E). Despite the constant threat of e...

Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ...

This study employs a comprehensive review of 45 studies to assess the economic value of ecosystem services from different forest types across India. To estimate timeframes, the values of ecosystem services reported in th...

Forest cover change directly affects biodiversity, the global carbon budget, and ecosystem function. Within Latin American and the Caribbean region (LAC), many studies have documented extensive deforestation, but there a...

It is estimated that there are between 2.2 and 3.8 million species of fungi, but only 3 to 8% are known. The order Agaricales in Argentina is not well known in certain areas and plant communities, as the Reserva Ecológi...

The lack of implementation of well-designed public policies aimed at the conservation of natural ecosystems has resulted, at a global level, in the decline of ecosystem functioning and, consequently, of the contributions...

ABSTRACT The Pontal Island, located in the Parque Natural Municipal de Niterói, stands out as a vital remnant of the Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro. With ecosystems including forest, rocky outcrops, restinga, and man...

ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation are important anthropogenic drivers of changes in biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest, and has reached its highest rate in recent decades. However, the ma...

Agricultural expansion threatens biodiversity due to habitat loss and fragmentation. In the Gran Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot, rampant cropland and pasture expansion raise concerns about the sustainability of th...

Background The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition...

Ethnopharmacological relevance This article presents the results of a study on wild plant pharmacopeia and medical ethnobotany of the Wichí people of the South American Gran Chaco region, where native forest still persi...
