Climate change should drive mammal defaunation in tropical dry forests

M. R. Moura, G. A. O. Silva, A. Paglia, M. M. Pires, B. A. Santos

This study projects that climate change will cause significant mammal defaunation in the Caatinga drylands, with 85% of species losing suitable habitats by 2060.

A phylogeny-informed characterisation of global tetrapod traits addresses data gaps and biases

M. R. Moura, K. Ceron, J. J. M. Guedes, R. Chen-Zhao, Y. V. Sica, J. Hart, W. Dorman, J. M. Portmann, P. Gonzalez del Pliego, A. Ranipeta, A. Catenazzi, F. Werneck, L. F. Toledo, N. S. Upham, J. F. R. Tonini, , W. Jetz

The paper creates a comprehensive tetrapod trait database using phylogeny-informed imputation, revealing data gaps and biases in trait distribution across species.

Pervasive impacts of climate change on the woodiness and ecological generalism of dry forest plant assemblages

M. R. Moura, F. A. O. Nascimento, L. N. Paolucci, D. P. Silva, B. A. Santos

This study projects that climate change will reduce species richness and spatial beta-diversity in Caatinga plant assemblages, with 99% of assemblages losing species by 2060 and 40% experiencing biotic homogenisation.

Shortfalls and opportunities in terrestrial vertebrate species discovery

M. R. Moura, W. Jetz

The paper estimates future opportunities for discovering terrestrial vertebrate species, identifying amphibians, reptiles, and regions like Brazil and Indonesia as high-priority areas.
