Water‐filled tree holes are unique ecosystems that may occur high up in tree crowns and are
essentially aquatic islands in the sky. Insect larvae, mesofauna, and other organisms …

As watersheds are complex systems that are difficult to directly study, the streams that drain
them are often sampled to search for watershed “signals.” These signals include the …

The distribution of biomass production and its allocation across populations under
environmental constraints draw a picture of community dynamics and energy flows in …

Understanding the drivers of species distribution is an important topic in conservation
biology and ecology, pertaining to species traits like dispersal strategies and species …

A central goal in microbial ecology is to simplify the extraordinary biodiversity that inhabits
natural environments into ecologically coherent units. We profiled (16S rRNA sequencing)> …

Background Stemflow is an essential hydrologic process shaping the soil of forests by
providing a concentrated input of rainwater and solutions. However, the transport of …

Aedes species are vectors of the most significant arboviruses in Brazil with the greatest
health and economic impact in the country. However, little is known about the factors that …

Nematode species are widely tolerant of environmental conditions and disperse passively.
Therefore, the species richness distribution in this group might largely depend on the …

Water-filled tree holes are abundant microhabitats in forests worldwide and are inhabited by
specialized communities of invertebrates. Despite their importance, the temporal dynamics …

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 …
