Integrating long-term demography and population genetics reveals the persistence of a threatened palm in fragmented Atlantic Forest landscapes

Anthropogenic disturbances are a major cause of extinction and population decline, especially in small, unprotected forest fragments where demographic and genetic challenges are more pronounced. Euterpe edulis , a key resource palm species in the Atlantic Forest, plays a crucial...

Population Dynamics and Extractive Potential of the Mangrove Crab, Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), in a Human-Impacted Mangrove of Northeastern Brazil

Ucides cordatus, a key species in Brazilian mangroves, supports both ecological processes and traditional extractive practices. Some mangrove areas in Northeastern Brazil are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic stressors. We evaluated the population density, size structure, ext...
