TL;DR: The ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an objective analytical process to test if bird and plant species composition of three different forest formation in the Atlantic forest Biome is sufficiently distinct to merit the recognition of ecoregions.

TL;DR: Evaluating the avian community dynamism of this reserve, as well as its effectiveness in protecting biodiversity in an extremely fragmented landscape, suggests that extinctions and colonizations are also potentially related to species distribution ranges and climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, a forest fragment maintains original heterogeneous habitat conditions after deforestation and fragmentation of the landscape, and it is possible that distinct communities can still remain in the fragmented forest.

TL;DR: Cases of soil ingestion by corvids are reviewed and a new observation of geophagy in Azure Jay is reported, where an adult individual of Azure Jay was observed removing and ingesting pieces of dry clay from a nest of Rufous Hornero.
