Drivers of invertebrate community structure in a high-volume Neotropical cave system: a newly recognized subterranean biodiversity hotspot
Understanding how niche-based and neutral processes shape biological communities is a central objective in ecology, particularly in extreme and poorly explored environments such as large subterranean systems. Here, we investigated the me...

Forest structural changes affect dung beetle communities and dung removal rates
Forest ecosystems are shaped by the consequences of management activities, as well as through an increase in tree damage and mortality caused by climate change. These drivers lead to alterations in forest structure, affecting the abundan...
