Soares, Yan F. F.; de Aquino, Pedro De Podestà Uchôa; Bagley, Justin C.; Langeani, Francisco [UNESP]; Colli, Guarino R.Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T11:00:32Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; This study describes two new endemic Hypostomus species from central Brazil, which were previously identified as genetically distinct lineages in a recent genomic study that recommended their testing and potential description based on morphological data. A machine learning classification procedure (rand...
Dismantling Brazil's science threatens global biodiversity heritage
Fernandes, G. Wilson; Vale, M. M.; Overbeck, Gerhard Ernst; Bustamante, Mercedes M.C.; Grelle, Carlos Eduardo V.Viveiros; Bergallo, H. G.In the middle of a political and fiscal crisis, the Brazilian government is applying successive budget cuts, including in science funding. Recent cuts radically affect research programs on biodiversity that are crucial components for the design and monitoring of public policies for nature conservation and sustainable development. We analyze the consequences of such cuts on the Research Program on Biodiversity (...

Thermal physiology of Amazonian lizards (Reptilia: Squamata)
Diele-Viegas, Luisa Maria; Vitt, Laurie Joseph; Sinervo, Barry R.; Colli, Guarino R.; Werneck, F. P.; Miles, Donald B.; Magnusson, William ErnestWe summarize thermal-biology data of 69 species of Amazonian lizards, including mode of thermoregulation and field-active body temperatures (Tb). We also provide new data on preferred temperatures (Tpref), voluntary and thermal-tolerance ranges, and thermal-performance curves (TPC’s) for 27 species from nine sites in the Brazilian Amazonia. We tested for phylogenetic signal and pairwise correlations among therm...

The combined role of dispersal and niche evolution in the diversification of Ne...
Sheu, Yumi; Zurano, Juan Pablo; Ribeiro-Júnior, Marco Antônio; Ávila-Pires, Teresa Cristina Sauer; Rodrigues, Miguel Trefaut; Colli, Guarino R.Ecological requirements and environmental conditions can influence diversification across temporal and spatial scales. Understanding the role of ecological niche evolution under phylogenetic contexts provides insights on speciation mechanisms and possible responses to future climatic change. Large-scale phyloclimatic studies on the megadiverse Neotropics, where biomes with contrasting vegetation types occur in ...
