Gheler-Costa, Carla; Botero, Gabriel Pavan; Reia, Lais [UNESP]; de Cassia Gilli, Leticia; Comin, Fabio Henrique; Verdade, Luciano MartinsMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:46:02Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-03-29; Carnivores are important ecological components of ecosystems since they control abundance, distribution and diversity of prey populations. They are key-species in the maintenance and restoration of diversity and resilience of ecosystems. The Puma concolor (onça-parda) is a forest mammal with wide distri...

Hudson, Lawrence N.; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L.L.; Lysenko, Igor; Palma, Adriana de; Phillips, Helen R.P.; Senior, Rebecca A.Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species' threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodivers...

Gomes, Tassia Turini; Gheler-Costa, Carla; Rinaldi, Caroline Anacleto; Santana, WilliamDecapod crustaceans have a wide variety of feeding habits, alternating among herbivory, predation, saprophagy, and filtration. The occupation of various trophic positions in the food web is a key feature in the evolution of the group. Thus, we analyzed the natural diet of the crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius, 1787), commonly known as the ghost crab and typically found on sandy beaches. The crabs were collected ...

Hudson, Lawrence N; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L L; Lysenko, Igor; De Palma, Adriana; Phillips, Helen R P; Alhusseini, Tamera IThe PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical mod...
