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: The results of this study show the importance of adequately planning the urban afforestation process: increasing tree species richness, preserving large trees and planting more native trees species in the streets are management practices that will increase birdspecies richness, abundance and community functional aspects and consequently improve human wellbeing and quality of life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first guidelines for monitoring soundscapes in three different tropical areas, specifically located in the Atlantic Forest, Rupestrian fields, and the Cerrado (Brazil), were provided.

TL;DR: The Maximum Entropy algorithm and the topological method suggested by IUCN (α-hull method) are used to estimate the EOO for a species with disjunct distribution and limited available data and the estimate obtained was considered the most accurate.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of mining noise on biophony (biological sounds) was investigated by characterizing and comparing the soundscapes of two different sites (close versus distant from an open-cast mine) in the same Atlantic forest fragment, matched for habitat type, in Southeast Brazil.
