Unpacking the risks of zoonotic and vector-borne pathogen transmission to humans in the context of environmental change Open
The emergence and spread of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases (ZVBDs), exacerbated by environmental change, pose serious threats to global public health and the economy. Understanding the role of environmental factors in disease transmiss…

Phenology and reproductive ecology of Qualea parviflora (Vochysiaceae) in the Brazilian Savanna Open
Qualea species (Vochysiaceae) are abundant and diverse in Brazilian savanna, contributing to maintain ecological communities through interactions with animals, mainly arthropods. Plant-pollinator interactions are fundamental to sustain bio…

A global overview of insect–fern interactions and its ecological trends Open
Summary Historically, ferns have been described as underutilized by insects. However, studies have shown a diversity of insects interacting with ferns, although the evolutionary and ecological drivers of these interactions are still to be …

Biodiversity in landscape mosaics: the roles of local land use and the surrounding landscape on dung beetle assemblages Open
The study was carried out in the municipalities of Uberlândia and Monte Alegre (state of Minas Gerais) in southeastern Brazil. The climate has two well-defined seasons: a dry winter (May to September) and a rainy summer (October to April).…

The effects of ants on pest control: a meta-analysis Open
Environmental impacts of conventional agriculture have generated interest in sustainable agriculture. Biological pest control is a fundamental tool, and ants are key players providing ecological services, as well as some disservices. We ha…

View article: Positive effects of ants on host trees are critical in years of low reproduction and not influenced by liana presence
Positive effects of ants on host trees are critical in years of low reproduction and not influenced by liana presence Open
Tropical tree-climbing lianas form paths that benefit foraging of dominant ants which might protect the host tree against herbivores. In contrast, lianas are often associated with negative effects on growth and reproduction of host trees d…

ATLANTIC ANTS: a data set of ants in Atlantic Forests of South America Open
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further…
