The erosion of biodiversity and biomass in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot

R. A. F. Lima, A. A. de Oliveira, G. R. Pitta, A. L. de Gasper, A. C. Vibrans, J. Chave, H. ter Steege, P. I. Prado

The paper quantifies biodiversity and biomass loss in the Atlantic Forest using field surveys, showing significant declines in species and carbon value.

Defining endemism levels for biodiversity conservation: tree species in the Atlantic Forest hotspot

R. A. F. Lima, V. C. Souza, M. F. de Siqueira, H. ter Steege

The paper proposes a data-driven method to quantify endemism levels using herbarium records, showing that 90% endemism separates pure and near-endemic species in the Atlantic Forest, with 45% overall tree flora endemism.

Disentangling the effects of sampling scale and size on the shape of species abundance distributions

R. A. F. Lima, P. A. Conde, C. Banks-Leite, R. C. Campos, M. I. M. Hernandez, R. R. Rodrigues, P. I. Prado

The paper investigates how sample size and sampling scale affect species abundance distributions (SADs) in three taxa, finding sample size is the main driver, with conspecific aggregation and beta diversity playing secondary roles.
