Tropical studies traditionally describe insect diversity variation throughout the year. The
temporally structured responses of insect assemblages to climate seasonality vary across …

Animals are integrated into the wider ecosystem via their foraging and behavior. The
compensation hypothesis predicts that animals target their foraging efforts (i) toward …

Plant–animal interactions are pervasive in terrestrial ecosystems. They hold relevant
ecological information for guiding biodiversity conservation and restoration practices …

As interações planta‐animal são ubíquas nos ecossistemas terrestres. Elas contêm

Land use changes represent one of the leading causes of terrestrial biodiversity loss,
particularly in tropical ecosystems. In Brazil, a country that encompasses six distinct biomes …

Research findings in natural sciences need to be comparable and reproducible to effectively
improve our understanding of ecological and behavioural patterns. In this sense, knowledge …

The rarity of organisms is related either to a natural origin or human-induced impacts, and
rare species are more susceptible to extinction. The Atlantic Forest is an endangered biome …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest is the third largest biome in Brazil, the most sampled, and has
the second highest diversity of ant species described. However, these data are spatially very …

The effect of human activities on the suppression of biodiversity is visibly evident throughout
