The unprecedented loss of biodiversity and the imminent threats of climate and environmental changes are among the most important challenges faced by humanity. Biodiversity continues to decline worldwide, mainly in response to urban and agriculture expansion over natural areas. In addition, climate change is projected to commit over one-third of the Earth's animal and plant species to ext…
Agricultural and urban areas have been expanded and replacing native vegetation areas in a short time period, causing the loss of biodiversity, thus compromising the manutention of ecosystem services in the planet. Besides the biodiversity that native vegetation harbor, these areas are also responsible for providing several direct and indirect ecosystem services, which are essential for h…
Agriculture is replacing native vegetation worldwide, at a faster rate in the last decades. Biodiversity and ecosystem services have severely been affected, thus compromising essential services for human survival, such as food production, water availability, climate regulation, fiber production, and aesthetic values. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) - which included the Payment for Ecosystem …
We aim to investigate the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity and ecosystem services. São Paulo state has a long history of human occupation; by other side, Goiás state actually is one of the main agrobusiness frontiers in Brazil, and has a recent human occupation history. Therefore, the comparison about the effects of agroecosystems on biodiversity and ecosystem service…

Brazilian tropical forests provide rich system in which to place biodiversity studies into a global context. Accurate assessment, however, is often hampered by the amount of data available over the necessary spatial and temporal scales, which limits the ability to make predictions to aid in management decisions. Remote sensing, specifically satellite imagery, has the potential to drastica…

The assemblage of medium and large mammals has a great influence on the functioning of ecosystems. As well, its richness and abundance has a direct influence on several ecosystem interactions and services. Due to the high complexity of interactions in which mammals participate, the effects of their defaunation are not fully understood. The main threats to medium and large mammals in the A…

It is believed that environmental aspects such as relief characteristics, age of the fragment and landscape structure can influence the variance in wood density. This density indicates functional diversity, ecological succession and the presence of endemic species, in addition to participating in carbon regulation and representing, for this reason, a significant role in identifying conser…
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most fragmented ecosystems in the world, representing the future trend of other tropical forests. Thus, the restoration of native vegetation in this biome is essential to recover and protect the biodiversity of this global hotspot, in addition to guaranteeing the provision of essential ecosystem services for the population and for agricultural activities.…

Economic activities in neotropical regions, particularly agricultural expansion, have led to highly fragmented landscapes, altering resources available to biodiversity and affecting species population dynamics. These environmental changes can influence species' success or decline, including the transmission of zoonotic diseases. Neotropical bats, particularly Desmodus rotundus, are impact…
Deforestation and exploitation of tropical forests, such as the Atlantic Forest, have resulted in the fragmentation of these ecosystems, transforming continuous areas into remnants delineated by edges. This process negatively impacts forest ecology and its communities, especially due to the edge effect, which exposes organisms to different environmental conditions in peripheral areas. Pla…
The fauna of the Caatinga has suffered for centuries with population declines and, consequently, with the loss of ecosystem functions. Understanding how mammal occupancy patterns are influenced in this biome is fundamental to understanding the ecology and basic prerequisites for effective wildlife management. The objective of this work is to understand how anthropic, environmental and sea…
