Baptista, Martim; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Bartz, M. L. C.; Mendes, Sara; Timóteo, Sérgio; Azevedo-Pereira, Henrique M.V.S.; Alves, JoanaIn the aftermath of 2019’ tropical cyclones Idai and Kenneth, we assessed ground beetle communities of the Gorongosa National Park (GNP) in Mozambique. The influence of habitat shelters, namely the buffering role of closed microhabitat conditions on Alpha diversity and community trait values during a long period of drought, was evaluated across the main habitat types of the park: miombo forests, mixed forests, ...

Serrano, Artur R. M.; Baptista, Martim; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Mendes, Sara; Bartz, Marie L. C.; Timóteo, SérgioThe Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique) is one of the most emblematic protected areas in Africa, well known for its vertebrate biodiversity and restoration ecology efforts following the Mozambican civil war in 1992. The invertebrate biodiversity of Gorongosa National Park is still poorly studied, although the scarce information available indicates the existence of a rich number of species, namely in the case o...
Tree canopy enhances Collembola functional richness and diversity across typica...
Martins da Silva, Pedro; Bartz, M. L. C.; Mendes, Sara; Boieiro, Mário; Timóteo, Sérgio; Azevedo-Pereira, Henrique M.V.S.; Alves Da Silva, AntónioABSTRACT: The role of tree canopies in protecting soil functional diversity is essential for ecosystems threatened by the longer lasting periods of drought, which are predicted to increase in the southern afro-tropical region. Nonetheless, biodiversity inventories of soil mesofauna are scarce in afro-tropical ecosystems, even in emblematic and well-studied protected areas, such as the Gorongosa National Park (G...

Martins da Silva, Pedro; Carvalho, Rui; Boieiro, Mário; Sousa, José Paulo; Serrano, ArturABSTRACT: We assessed the Caraboidea communities of Gorongosa National Park (GNP) in Mozambique. Influence of tropical rainfall, after a long period of drought, was evaluated on alpha and beta diversity of tiger- and ground-beetles in the main habitat types of the park: miombo forests, mixed forests, transitional forests, and grasslands (open savannas). Tiger- and ground-beetle communities were sampled by pitfa...
