Dung removal increases under higher dung beetle functional diversity regardless...
Noriega, Jorge Ari; Hortal, Joaquín; deCastro-Arrazola, Indradatta; Alves-Martins, Fernanda; Ortega, Jean C. G.; Bini, Luis Mauricio; Andrew, Nigel R.Dung removal by macrofauna such as dung beetles is an important process for nutrient cycling in pasturelands. Intensification of farming practices generally reduces species and functional diversity of terrestrial invertebrates, which may negatively affect ecosystem services. Here, we investigate the effects of cattle-grazing intensification on dung removal by dung beetles in field experiments replicated in 38 p...
Large-scale Degradation of the Tocantins-Araguaia River Basin
Pelicice, Fernando Mayer; Agostinho, Angelo Antonio; Akama, Alberto; Andrade Filho, José Dilermando; Azevedo-Santos, Valter M. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:42:34Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-10-01; The Tocantins-Araguaia Basin is one of the largest river systems in South America, located entirely within Brazilian territory. In the last decades, capital-concentrating activities such as agribusiness, mining, and hydropower promoted extensive changes in land cover, hydrology, and environmental condit...
Nutrient enrichment is related to two facets of beta diversity for stream inver...
Bini, Luis Mauricio; Landeiro, Victor Lemes; Padial, Andréandrian; Siqueira, Tadeu [UNESP]; Heino, JaniMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T07:17:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-01-01; Beta diversity, the spatial or temporal variability of species composition, is a key concept in community ecology. However, our ability to predict the relative importance of the main drivers of beta diversity (e.g., environmental heterogeneity, dispersal limitation, and environmental productivity) remai...
Comparing taxon- and trait-environment relationships in stream communities
Saito, Victor Satoru; Siqueira, Tadeu [UNESP]; Bini, Luis Mauricio; Costa-Pereira, Raul; Santos, Edineusa Pereira [UNESP]; Pavoine, SandrineMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T01:28:17Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-10-01; Traits define how organisms interact with their surrounding environment and with other organisms. Thus, trait composition of biological communities is expected to change predictably along environmental gradients. Because organisms’ traits, but not taxonomic identity, determine their fitness, trait-envir...
Ecological similarity explains species abundance distribution of small mammal c...
Hidasi-Neto, José; Bini, Luis Mauricio; Siqueira, Tadeu [UNESP]; Cianciaruso, Marcus ViniciusMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T01:48:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); For several decades, ecologists have been trying to explain how species abundance distributions (SAD) emerge within communities. Niche models predict that species habitat requirements and life-history traits determine SADs. Here, based...
A comparative analysis reveals weak relationships between ecological factors an...
Heino, Jani; Melo, Adriano Sanches; Bini, Luis Mauricio; Altermatt, Florian; Al-Shami, Salman Abdo; Angeler, David G.; Bonada, Núria; Brand, CeciliaThe hypotheses that beta diversity should increase with decreasing latitude and increase with spatial extent of a region have rarely been tested based on a comparative analysis of multiple datasets, and no such study has focused on stream insects. We first assessed how well variability in beta diversity of stream insect metacommunities is predicted by insect group, latitude, spatial extent, altitudinal range, a...
Compositional uniqueness of diatoms and insects in subtropical streams is weakl...

Current climate, but also long‐term climate changes and human impacts, determin...
Santos, Ana M.C.; Cianciaruso, Marcus V.; Barbosa, Ana Márcia; Bini, Luis Mauricio; Diniz‐Filho, José Alexandre F.; Faleiro, Frederico V.Aim: Historical climate variations, current climate and human impacts are known to influence current species richness, but their effects on phylogenetic and trait diversity have been seldom studied. We investigated the relationship of these three factors with the independent variations of species, phylogenetic and trait diversity of European mammals. Considering the position of the 0 ºC isotherm in the Last Gla...
Main predictors of periphyton species richness depend on adherence strategy and...
Algarte, Vanessa Majewski; Siqueira, Tadeu [UNESP]; Landeiro, Victor Lemes; Rodrigues, Liliana; Bonecker, Claudia Costa; Rodrigues, Luzia CleideMade available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T16:48:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-07-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Periphytic algae are important components of aquatic ecosystems. However, the factors driving periphyton species richness variation remain largely unexplored. Here, ...
