Although Brazil is a megadiverse country and thus a conservation priority, no study has yet
quantified conservation gaps in the Brazilian protected areas (PAs) using extensive …

Creating and managing protected areas is critical to ensure the persistence of species but
dynamic threats like land-use change and climate change may reduce the effectiveness of …

Aim To test predictions of the vicariance model, to define basic biogeographical units for
Cerrado squamates, and to discuss previous biogeographical hypotheses. Location …

The Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot in central Brazil that is the largest expanse of savanna
in the Neotropics. Here, we aim to identify and delimit biogeographic districts within the …

Abstract Aim We evaluated Odonata distribution data and predicted the compositional
resemblance based on niche‐based species distribution models to analyse the following …

Most conservation decisions take place at national or finer spatial scales. Providing useful
information at such decision-making scales is essential for guiding the practice of …

Traditional conservation techniques for mapping highly biodiverse areas assume there to be
satisfactory knowledge about the geographic distribution of biodiversity. There are, however …

We tested the prediction that climate-driven changes might alter bird species composition in
reserves of the Cerrado region of Brazil. First, we modelled the current distributions and the …

Knowledge of spatiotemporal distribution of biodiversity is still very incomplete in the tropics.
This is one of the major problems preventing the assessment and effectiveness of …

Aim Understanding where and why species diversity is geographically concentrated
remains a challenge in biogeography and macroevolution. This is true for the Cerrado, the …
