Exceptions to the rule: Relative roles of time, diversification rates and regional energy in shaping the inverse latitudinal diversity gradient by Cerezer, Felipe O., Machac, Antonin, Rangel, Thiago F., Dambros, Cristian S.

“…Aim Inverse latitudinal diversity gradients (i‐LDGs), whereby regional richness peaks outside the tropics, have rarely been investigated, and their causes…”

Factors affecting the home range size of felids (Mammalia, Carnivora) with emphasis on three American species by Renata Figueira Machado, Felipe Cerezer, Carla Hendges, Nilton Cáceres

“…We evaluated several factors that might be related to the home-range size of felids at both inter and intraspecific levels. At the interspecific level, we…”
