“…Bokermannohyla hylax and A. leucopygius tadpoles are also more active at night presumably to avoid predators (Bertoluci 2002, Gomes andPeixoto 2002). These two species show specialized reproductive modes associated with forest streams (Haddad & Prado 2005, Gomes & Peixoto 2002. Together they were the most abundant tadpoles in our sampling and often shared the same trap.…”

“…The dark chocolatebrown coloration of B. hylax tadpoles shows an advantage when seeking cover among the leaf litter, rocks, and mud in the streambed (Bertoluci et al 2003). This could likewise represent an advantage for A. leucopygius with a cryptic coloration that hides under litter and rocks (Gomes & Peixoto 2002), except in the advanced stages of metamorphosis, when tadpoles turn to green (Figure 3A-B).…”

“…Diel activity behavior can be a sign of tadpole assemblage organization and partitioning (Heyer 1976). Bokermannohyla hylax and A. leucopygius tadpoles are also more active at night presumably to avoid predators (Bertoluci 2002, Gomes andPeixoto 2002).

Effects of the presence of litter on the composition of stream tadpoles' assemblages in an Atlantic Forest remnant of southeastern Brazil

Many tropical anurans use forest streams to deposit their eggs, but resource use and selection by tadpoles in tropical forests are poorly known. In the present research, we hypothesized that leaf litter and water depth affect tadpole assemblages due to adult habitat selection for oviposition and/or microhabitat selection by tadpoles. Fieldwork was carried out in the Estação Biológica de Boracéia, an Atlantic Rainforest reserve in São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil. We sampled tadpoles during a year using 40 double-entry funnel-traps distributed along four streams in the forest. Only leaf litter effects are species dependent. We discussed that habitat structure significance depends on the morphological and ecological adaptation to forage and avoid competition within the tadpole community.

“…The Atlantic Forest is the second largest tropical forest in South America, and one of the most diverse on the planet, containing over 2,960 tree species (Zwiener et al 2020), 2,645 tetrapoda species (Figueiredo et al 2020), and 1,401 species of social insects (Feitosa et al 2020). This rainforest harbors a high level of endemic species of the global fauna and flora (Myers et al 2000;Grelle et al 2021). The Atlantic Forest is a biome that, which currently covers approximately 15 % of the Brazilian territory, and is a place for approximately 72 % of the Brazilian population (SOS Mata Atlântica 2017).…”

Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Pampa Biomes in the spotlight: an overview of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces (Eurotiales) species and the description of Penicillium nordestinense sp. nov.

The knowledge of the geographical distribution of fungi is essential to promote the understanding of global and national fungal diversity patterns. In this study, we provide a literature-based checklist of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces species recorded in the biomes of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and the Brazilian Pampa. Only Penicillium digitatum was reported for the Pampa biome. For the Atlantic Forest, a total of 169 species (68 Aspergillus, 79 Penicillium, and 22 Talaromyces) are reported, of which 20 are typified with specimens from this biome, including the novel species Penicillium nordestinense (section Lanata-Divaricata) that is described in this study. Penicillium nordestinense is phylogenetically related to the invalidly described species Penicillium setosum, and this species is validated here. Soil was the most common substrate from where species were reported. Several reported species are well known in biotechnological processes. Penicilliopsis zonata and Sclerocleista ornata, species previously treated in Aspergillus, are recorded. This checklist reflects the limited knowledge of fungal species in tropical environments, such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Pampa biomes. This information is a good framework for understanding the Brazilian diversity of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces and provides data for future fungal biogeographical studies in tropical environments.

“…O grau de ameaça das espécies arbóreas dessa região, juntamente com a perda dos animais que dispersam seus frutos e sementes, pode comprometer ainda mais a situação dessas espécies. Pouco se sabe sobre a ecologia da interação planta-animal entre as espécies arbóreas endêmicas ameaçadas e a fauna do Sul da Bahia (Grelle et al, 2021). Nesse sentido, buscamos investigar a importância das redes mutualísticas entre plantas e animais para a manutenção de espécies arbóreas ameaçadas de extinção no Sul da Bahia.…”

No presente estudo investigamos a importância das redes mutualísticas entre plantas e animais para a manutenção de espécies arbóreas ameaçadas de extinção no Sul da Ba-hia. Cerca de 82% das espécies arbóreas em estudo são dispersas por animais, apresen-tam diâmetro médio de 16,89 mm e possuem como principais dispersores aves, prima-tas e roedores (pacas). Revelamos uma intensa relação entre as espécies arbóreas amea-çadas de extinção no Sul da Bahia e animais dispersores de sementes. As espécies em questão já possuem ameaças inerentes às suas características individuais, porém, de-monstramos que mais um fator pode ser agregado a essas ameaças, a extinção de gran-des dispersores de sementes.
