1. Use of microhabitats affects butterfly assemblages in a rural landscape
Abstract Landscapes composed of small rural properties may support highly heterogeneous habitat, because they often cover distinct types of land uses adjacent to surrounding forest fragments. Many butterfly species may benefit from this kind of landscape, as very distinct microhabitats can be found in a very restricted spatial scale. To better understand how

2. Genetic diversity and population structure of naturally rare Calibrachoa species with small distribution in southern Brazil
Abstract Calibrachoa is a South-American genus comprising 27 species, several considered endemic or rare; few were subjects in genetic studies. We attempted to generate new data about the phylogenetically related and rare species C. eglandulata, C. sendtneriana, C. serrulata, and C. spathulata concerning their genetic diversity and population structure, whic

3. Genetic diversity in Mexican wild populations of the Great Curassow (Crax rubra)
Abstract The Great Curassow (Crax rubra) is a Neotropical bird with a wide distribution; it is classified under different threat categories and is listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. The Official Mexican Standard, the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, indicates that the Great Curassow is a threatened species, and the subspecies Crax rubra griscomi, which is res

4. Movement patterns and home range in Diplomystes camposensis (Siluriformes: Diplomystidae), an endemic and threatened species from Chile
ABSTRACT We document movement patterns and home range of Diplomystes camposensis, an endemic and threatened freshwater catfish from Chile. We tracked the movements of seven individuals of different body size (13.5 to 19 cm SL) using portable radio telemetry equipment to investigate movement patterns in relation to day/night activity and habitat use in the Sa

5. Floral and reproductive biology of Alcantarea nahoumii (Bromeliaceae), a vulnerable endemic species of the Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Alcantarea nahoumii occurs exclusively in the state of Bahia, Brazil, and is classified as vulnerable due to deforestation and frequent fires in the region. Knowledge of floral and reproductive biology is fundamental to understanding ecological interactions, as well as the reproductive success of plant species. The objective of this study was to eva

6. Diversity and conservation status of Aegla spp. (Anomura, Aeglidae): an update
Abstract The speciose genus Aegla Leach, 1820 is the only valid extant genus of the anomuran family Aeglidae, bearing 83 known species. This diversity may be even greater since there is some evidence for cryptic speciation. The genus is endemic to southern South America, occurring in freshwater habitats. We assessed the conservation status of 82 species of A

7. The use of microsatellite markers in Neotropical studies of wild birds: a literature review
ABSTRACT Despite extensive habitat fragmentation, the Neotropical region possesses 30% of the world´s bird species. Microsatellites have remained one of the most popular genetic markers and have been used in ecological and conservation studies since the 1990’s. We conducted a literature review comparing the number of papers published from January 1990 to

8. Conservation polices and control of habitat fragmentation in the Brazilian Cerrado biome
O Cerrado constitui a savana mais biodiversa e mais ameaçada do Planeta. O bioma já perdeu 48,2% de sua cobertura original e sofre com um intenso processo de fragmentação de habitats. Este trabalho verificou em que medida as ações governamentais e não-governamentais de conservação da biodiversidade proporcionam uma política integrada que proteja os

9. Efeitos de diferentes matrizes no risco de predação e na movimentação de uma ave florestal / Effects of different matrices at risk of predation and movement of forest bird
Forest fragmentation alters landscape structure and its relationship with organisms, and movement is one of the most affected behaviors. Individuals who are faced with an heterogeneous landscape, composed of habitat and non-habitat areas (i.e., matrix), need to cross the non-habitat matrix in the search for resources. The choice of motion is then made by an

10. Caracterização da comunidade de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em paisagem agrícola fragmentada / Characterization of the mid and large bodied mammal community in a fragmented agricultural landscape
Agricultural expansion is a major cause of habitat fragmentation, leading to a reduction and isolation of natural areas. It is therefore important to understand the role of agricultural landscape structure and dynamics in maintaining local biodiversity. We aimed to describe how the structure and dynamics of an agricultural landscape influenced the community

11. Padrões de distribuição de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em paisagens fragmentadas / Distribuition patterns of medium and large size mammals in fragmented landscapes
Habitat fragmentation is defined as the breaking of a continuous habitat in patches or fragments. This process leads to environmental changes capable of affecting communities in different ways, causing species composition changes. Beta diversity measures can show the variation between the composition of different communities, where two ecological patterns ca

12. Avaliação dos remanescentes florestais do Município de Brança Paulista - SP e áreas adjacentes: base para o estabeleciemento de corredores ecológicos. / Evaluation of the remaining forest in the city of White Paulista - SP and surrounding areas: estabeleciemento basis for ecological corridors.
Fragmentation and habitat loss are currently the major factors that threaten biodiversity and are major causes of extinction. One strategy for biodiversity conservation is the creation of ecological corridors which are areas of connectivity between isolated fragments. The municipality of Bragança Paulista is located in the Atlantic Forest Domain, which expa
