Leucaena leucocephala (hereafter L. leucocephala) is considered one of the 100 most invasive plant species in the world and has been found in areas subject to wildfire events and flooding. Its rapid L. leucocephala invasion capacity can lead to decrease in local diversity due to the exclusion of native plant species. In this way, the L. leucocephal...
Extreme wildfires present an ever-increasing problem in different landscapes around the world. Here, we explore recent wildfires to prioritize recovery efforts and mitigate effects of future wildfires in the Pantanal, the largest continuous wetland in the world. Using ecological niche modeling (ENM), we categorize affected areas based on potential...
The Brazilian Cerrado has been experiencing intense land use changes for decades, with large-scale conversion of its natural vegetation to agriculture and livestock grazing. These agents of landscape change also affect the aquatic ecosystems embedded in the biome. Here, we investigated the effects of land use at different scales (catchment, riparia...
Freshwater ecosystems have been increasingly threatened due to the impacts of climate change. Fishes have shifted their geographic distribution in response to these environmental changes. By forecasting biodiversity changes, we may provide knowledge for more effective conservation actions. Here, our aim is to assess the alpha and beta spatio-tempor...
Climate change is now recognized as a reality and along with human pressures such as river fragmentation by dams, amplifies the threats to freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity. In the Brazilian portion of the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB) that encompasses the Pantanal, one of the largest tropical wetlands in the world, in addition to th...
Research biases are common and constant issues in biological research, with major consequences for biodiversity conservation. Freshwaters represent one of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide, but knowledge of freshwater biota is unevenly distributed due to bias toward marine and terrestrial groups. Therefore, detecting biases and associated kn...
