TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed population abundance and biomass of 31 species of medium to large-bodied mammal species at 38 Atlantic forest sites (including three islands, 26 forest fragments and six continuous forest sites) as related to forest type, level of hunting pressure and forest fragment size.

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is paramount to change the attitudes in fisheries management of fruit-eating fishes and urgent to evaluate the impact of fishing on forest regeneration.

TL;DR: A survey of publicly available information on aquaculture parks to be installed across the Brazilian territory is presented, with emphasis on species status as native or non-native, and the implications for the conservation of aquatic biodiversity are discussed.

TL;DR: These results highlight the importance of evolutionary history of hosts in linking patterns of nestedness and formation of modules in the network and show that functional attributes of parasites and origin of host populations are crucial to define the relative contribution of these two network properties and their dependence on other ecological factors.

TL;DR: It is argued that winter periods of reduced temperature and light could play an underappreciated role in mediating the coexistence of species, and if winter is a driver of niche differences that weaken competition between, relative to within species, then shrinking winter periods could threaten coexistence by tipping the scales in favour of certain sets of species over others.
