Abstract The Atlantic Forest in South America (AF) is one of the world's most diverse and
threatened biodiversity hotspots. We present a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of 34 …

The knowledge of the geographical distribution of fungi is essential to promote the
understanding of global and national fungal diversity patterns. In this study, we provide a …

Aim To delineate present‐day zoogeographical regions of terrestrial vertebrates (frogs,
lizards, snakes, birds and non‐volant mammals) in the Atlantic Forest. Within each …

Habitat loss and the conversion of natural environments to anthropogenic land uses are
among the main drivers of biodiversity decline worldwide. The remaining habitats are …

We present a taxonomic revision of maned sloths, subgenus Bradypus (Scaeopus), a taxon
endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and currently composed of a single species, the …

We present an overview of the mammal fauna in the Pernambuco Endemism Center (PEC),
addressing diversity and biogeographic patterns, collection effort trends, main threats, and …

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 …

Aim Two classes of mechanisms offer opposing explanations for biodiversity patterns:
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics. While not necessarily mutually exclusive, studies …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest is a biodiversity hotspot and is widely known both for its high
species richness, including many endemics, and also by its high degradation, with few …

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest has the highest rate of native vegetation destruction, which is
one of the principal drivers of mammal extinctions. Therefore, reducing information gaps …
