This is a funding request for the visit of Prof. Maria Luisa SP Jorge (Vanderbilt University) to Prof. Mauro Galetti's research group (LABIC-UNESP-Rio Claro). This visit is part of the collaboration between Prof. Jorge and Prof. Galetti in the FAPESP Project "Center for Research on Biodiversity Dynamics and Climate Change - BioGATe" (FAPESP n. 2021/10639-5 - 05/01/2023 to 04/30/2028). The…
Large mammalian herbivores (LMH's), once widespread, are now functional or locally extinct in most tropical ecosystems. LMH's exert strong direct and indirect effects on community structure and ecosystem functions, and measuring these effects is important for testing ecological theory and for understanding past, current, and future environmental change. This in turn requires long-term exp…
The order Rodentia is the most diverse of mammal in the world. In the Atlantic forest occur more than 90 species of rodents being 30% endemic. Although heavily fragmented and with less than 12% of forest left, seven species are considered Threatened by IUCN, 10 classified as Data Deficient and 30 species are Not Avaluated. The recent publication of the Atlantic Small Mammal dataset (Boven…

A key site for the protection of biodiversity and endangered species in the South Atlantic, the Fernando de Noronha (FN) archipelago is a group of 21 oceanic islands of volcanic origin home to three species of frugivorous birds - Vireo gracilirostris, Elaenia ridleyana and Zenaida auriculata and It is the only archipelago to have endemic populations of terrestrial birds on oceanic islands…

The unprecedented loss of biodiversity and the imminent threats of climate and environmental change are among the most important challenges facing humanity. Biodiversity continues to decline around the world, mainly in response to urban and agricultural expansion into natural areas. Furthermore, climate change is predicted to commit more than a third of Earth's animal and plant species to…

This project aims to investigate the impact of large mammalian herbivores (LMHs) on soil nematode communities in a tropical forest ecosystem. LMHs play a crucial role in shaping soil properties. Through herbivory, they can alter litter quality and quantity, as well as nutrient inputs to the soil. In addition, they cause physical disturbance through trampling and supply nutrients through d…
Conservation efforts are crucial for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem health. The current biodiversity crisis requires action to protect species from extinction and ecosystems from severe degradation. Billions of dollars are thus invested annually in the conservation of biodiversity. Assessing whether conservation initiatives result in positive outcomes for biodiversity is necessary …
Human actions such as deforestation and changes in land use affect habitats, leading to morphological changes, such as bilateral asymmetry in animals, influenced by natural selection and environmental factors. Indices such as fluctuating asymmetry are used to assess environmental stress, while evolutionary potential to measure the adaptability of populations to environmental changes and p…
The biodiversity crisis that threatens the planet can be considered the sixth major extinction event and understanding the relationship between changes in human pressures and the decline of mammalian species is necessary for identifying those species at highest risk, and for prioritizing the actions and policies required to combat their decline. The first aim of this proposal is to quanti…
