Ecosystems and the communities they support are changing at alarmingly rapid rates.
Tracking species diversity is vital to managing these stressed habitats. Yet, quantifying and …

Amphibians are undergoing a global conservation crisis, and they are one of the most
underrepresented groups of vertebrates in the global network of protected areas (PAs). In …

The destruction of natural habitats is causing loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Although a “zero deforestation” is targeted, agriculture expansion caused by increasing …

Motivation and aim Map** the spatial distribution of biodiversity is critical for
understanding its fundamental drivers (eg speciation, environmental filtering) as well as for …

Climate change is likely to impact multiple dimensions of biodiversity. Species range shifts
are expected and may drive changes in the composition of species assemblages. In some …

Anurans are a highly diverse group in the Atlantic Forest hotspot (AF), yet distribution
patterns and species richness gradients are not randomly distributed throughout the biome …

Conservation biologists can use several criteria, such as species richness and incidence of
range-restricted species, to prioritize allocation of conservation efforts and identify sites of …

Abstract We performed Ecological Niche Models (ENM s) to generate climatically suitable
areas for anurans in the Brazilian hotspots, the Atlantic Forest (AF), and Cerrado (CER) …

Anurans are endangered worldwide and declining populations are in need of urgent
conservation management. Optimal conservation actions ideally rely on basic ecological …

Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic Forest harbors high levels of anuran diversity and endemism,
including several taxa restricted to small geographic ranges. Here, we provide a multilocus …
