Journal ArticleDOI

Macroevolutionary dynamics in environmental space and the latitudinal diversity gradient in New World birds

TL;DR: The correspondence between diversity and climate may be due to the conservation of ancestral tropical niches coupled with repeated broad shifts in adaptive peaks during birds' evolutionary history more than by higher diversification rates driven by more energy in the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial patterns in species richness and priority areas for conservation of anurans in the Cerrado region, Central Brazil

TL;DR: This work used extent of occurrence of 105 species of Anura in the Cerrado region to establish a regional system of potential areas that preserves all anuran species in the region, at a macroecological scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of water level, abiotic and biotic factors on bacterioplankton abundance in lagoons of a tropical floodplain (Paraná River, Brazil)

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of basic limnological variables on bacterioplankton abundance in twenty lagoons in the Upper Parana River floodplain, Brazil was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of metrics for estimating phylogenetic signal under alternative evolutionary models

TL;DR: It is shown that statistical approaches provide valid results and may be still particularly useful when detailed phylogenies are unavailable or when trait variation among species is difficult to describe by more standard Brownian or O-U evolutionary models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Environmental Heterogeneity on the Structure of Testate Amoebae (Protozoa, Rhizopoda) Assemblages in the Plankton of the Upper Paraná River Floodplain, Brazil

TL;DR: Results show that patterns in species composition and abundance of testate amoebae are predictable, and that dominant species tend to present characteristic shell morphology in hydrologically different environments, and suggest that testateAmoebes must be routinely included in plankton ecology studies, at least in floodplain environments.
