Highly spread through the Amazon River basin, Prochilodus nigricans have had its taxonomic validity recently questioned, when genetic differences between Western and Eastern Amazon populations from the Brazilian shield were detected. This area has been seeing as a region of high ichthyofaunal diversity and endemism, in which the hybrid origin of the Tapajós River basin has been raised. In…
The Atlantic Forest is a hotspot, with high biodiversity levels and a high level of deforestation and degradation. The Pernambuco Centre of Endemism (PCE), originally distributed in northern São Francisco River, in the states of Paraíba, Alagoas, and Pernambuco is today the most endangered Atlantic Forest region and one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, as only small and iso…

Understanding a species' genetic diversity and how it is distributed across its populations is crucial for predicting the persistence of endangered species and for formulating viable management plans. However, such information is unknown for a large number of groups, such as armadillos of the genus Cabassous, which have no data regarding their genetic diversity or population structure. Am…
This project is linked to the Thematic Project "Assessment, recovery and conservation of the endangered fauna of the Pernambuco Endemism Center (CEP)", supported by FAPESP (2017/23548-2), expanding its initial objectives to the knowledge of the endemic ichthyofauna of the local. Leporinus piau is a valuable resource for subsistence, commercial, sport fishing and aquaculture. Its wide dist…
The Pernambuco Endemism Center (CEP, acronym in Portuguese) has remnants of Atlantic Forest, but with a high degree of degradation due to more than 300 years of deforestation. Recent studies carried out in this area with mammals report species that are endemic to Brazil, such as the Coandu-Mirim (Coendou speratus), thus showing the importance of the CEP and the need for studies for its co…
The Pernambuco Endemism Center (CEP) is one of the five Atlantic Forest endemism centers and currently consists of forest remnants with a high degree of degradation. As a consequence, several endemic species in this region are in imminent danger of extinction, and therefore CEP is one of the most urgent conservation hotspots. Studying mammal composition is the first step in understanding …
Piracanjuba Brycon orbignyanus is a Brycon species in danger of extinction. For its economic and ecological importance, it's necessary and even imperative that there are efforts in preserving it, as the consolidation of ex situ gene banks. An alternative for maintenance of this species can be reconstitution by androgenesis, which generates progeny with only a paternal genome. This process…

It has been pointed that land-use modification (e.g. habitat fragmentation) is one of the main causes of population connectivity loss (gene flow), species home ranges reduction, and therefore biodiversity loss. However, contrary to what was mentioned previously, different species take advantage of this land-use modification, expanding its home ranges and population sizes. These species po…
