Abstract	Nucleation practices combine several techniques that use small nuclei of vegetation as starting points of vegetation regeneration and serve as an integrated approach to improve environmental conditions and promote the establishment of species in degraded lands. We performed an integrative review and a meta‐analysis to test which nucleation techniques better improve plant establishment in restoration projects. We compared the efficiency of single and combined nucleation techniques including topsoil or litter transposition, bird perches, island planting (nuclei), and brushwood. A total of 374 studies published between 1993 and 2021 were evaluated; 73 studies were included in the integrative review and 35 studies enabled effect size calculation. The most common metrics used to measure restoration outcomes were the evaluation of seedling richness, density and abundance, topsoil transposition techniques, transposition of litter or seed bank (41% of the studies), and bird perches (35% of the studies). Among the sources of disturbance, agriculture for food production was the most frequent activity reported. Overall, we detected strong and positive effects of nucleation techniques on seedling parameters, with increased seedling richness and seedling survivorship compared to control areas. Stronger effects on plant richness were found for tropical compared to temperate forests. Restoration techniques differed in their ability to improve seedling richness, but the combination of topsoil transposition and bird perches enhanced seedling richness the most. Our results suggest that the use of nucleation techniques in ecosystem restoration is an efficient tool to increase the richness and establishment of plants (seedlings) in areas under restoration.

Abstract	1. Current anthropogenic disturbances have changed natural environments, broadly impacting ecosystem services and functions. Here, the authors focused on the secondary dispersal of diaspores by ants, which serve an important ecological function in the natural regeneration of degraded habitats. 2. The authors experimentally studied the effects of vegetation suppression and soil disturbance on (i) diaspore removal, (ii) the quality of secondary removal, and (iii) the structure of interaction networks between ants and diaspores. The authors tested whether the disturbance affected the species richness of seed removers, diaspore removal rate, removal distance and time, and removal effectiveness. Additionally, the authors tested whether the structure of ant‐diaspore networks, that is, specialisation, modularity and robustness, is altered by soil disturbance. To do that, the authors studied three degraded and three preserved areas in the Brazilian Cerrado. 3. The authors observed 25 ant species interacting with the diaspores. Disturbance did not affect ant species richness, removal distance or removal rate, but ants took twice as long to remove the diaspores in the preserved habitat. The frequency of interaction networks was higher in the preserved habitat, and the effectiveness of species in removing the diaspores differed between habitats. Surprisingly, the authors observed that ants considered effective dispersers mostly occurred in degraded habitats, highlighting the potential of myrmecochory in the regeneration of impacted environments. 4. The findings point to the potential of ants in acting as secondary seed dispersal, improving the restoration of areas highly impacted by soil disturbance. Moreover, this study contributes to understanding the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on ecological interactions and ecosystem functions.

Abstract	Studies of territorial and courtship behavior are lacking for many tropical raptors. From 2006 to 2009, using observations that were not time-limited, we studied the territorial and courtship behaviors of the White-necked Hawk (Buteogallus lacernulatus) and the Mantled Hawk (Pseudastur polionotus) in Rio Doce State Park in eastern Brazil. We observed White-necked Hawks and Mantled Hawks engaged in aerial displays on 67 and 13 occasions, respectively. Display behaviors performed by White-necked Hawks were characterized by 1–4 undulations followed by aerial swoops and spirals. Territorial and/or courtship behaviors of Mantled Hawks were characterized by the male and female performing thermal or horizontal gliding together and diving in spirals while frequently emitting a series of long and short whistles. This study presents the first formal descriptions of the aerial territorial/courtship displays of these rare forest-dwelling raptors.

Abstract	Topsoil transposition has been identified as an environmental restoration technique capable of accelerating regeneration in degraded areas. In addition to the seed bank, topsoil contains invertebrates and microorganisms essential in ecological succession. This study evaluated the temporal variation in the macrofauna community structure in an experiment with topsoil transposition. We hypothesized that the morphospecies richness, functional groups and macrofauna biomass would be higher in the plots with topsoil and native vegetation compared with plots with no topsoil. We further hypothesized that the composition of macrofauna community and the proportion of functional groups in the topsoil and the reference plots would become more similar over time. The community was compared between plots that received topsoil, plots that did not receive topsoil and plots in a natural vegetation, over 14 months. The macrofauna biomass and the diversity of functional groups were equivalent in the degraded area and the topsoil. The effect of treatment on richness depended on time, and it was possible to observe higher values of macrofauna richness in the topsoil compared with the degraded area in some months. The compositions of the macrofauna communities in the degraded area and the topsoil showed greater similarity to each other. In contrast, the reference area showed the greatest dissimilarity with the other treatments. In general, the macrofauna community in the topsoil remained more similar to the degraded area. However, in the topsoil plots, we found higher macrofauna richness during rainy months and an increase in predator biomass. In conclusion, the macrofauna community in the topsoil, which has changed over time, presented higher values of morphospecies richness in some months and the increase in predator biomass, indicating an increase in the complexity of the community. Besides, the topsoil can improve biodiversity, but this does not produce the natural communities found at reference sites, in a small‐time scale experiment.

Abstract	1. Restoration of disturbed environments in which soil surface layers have been removed is challenging and its success depends on the characteristics of the exposed soil layers and neighbour organisms. Dung beetles are important elements in the restoration of degraded habitats as secondary seed dispersers. 2. In this study, we first assessed how the removal of upper soil layers affected the assemblage of dung beetle compared to adjacent reference areas without soil removal. We also evaluated the efficiency of dung beetles as secondary seed dispersers by experimentally testing their effect on the germination of wolf apple seeds (Solanum lycocarpum). 3. Degraded areas harboured a different dung beetle assemblage compared to the reference area, with a predominance of habitat generalist species. In addition, we found higher abundance and richness of dung beetles in the degraded than in reference areas. Despite dung removal being similar between areas, more seeds were removed in the reference area. 4. Dung beetles, especially rollers, positively influenced the probability of wolf apple seed germination in the degraded environment by up to 5%; germination occurred in 27% of treatments with dung beetle presence and no germination occurred when beetles were excluded. 5. Therefore, promoting the attraction of dung beetles from reference areas, together with other techniques that enhance primary seed dispersion, mainly by mammals and birds, could potentially increase the success of projects to restore areas with degraded soil.

Abstract	Bats of the family Phyllostomidae are common hosts to streblids known as bat flies. Here, we discuss the component community, prevalence and intensity of infection with species of Streblidae on an assemblage of phyllostomid bats in the Cafuringa Environmental Protection Area (APA Cafuringa) in the core area of the Cerrado in Central Brazil. A total of 1 841 streblid individuals of 24 species occurred on 752 bats of 14 species. Ten species of streblids infected Glossophaga soricina (Pallas), whereas seven or fewer streblid species infected the other bat species. Nine bat fly species presented a prevalence of more than 50%, whereas some differences in the abundance of bat flies among hosts were observed. Strebla wiedemanni Kolenati, 1856 and Trichobius furmani Wenzel, 1966 were more host-specific compared to the other streblids, and they occurred in greater abundance on their preferred hosts. Trichobius uniformis Curran, 1935 and Strebla mirabilis (Waterhouse, 1879) were the least host-specific, occurring on five and six hosts, respectively.

Abstract	Declines in biodiversity generated by anthropogenic stressors at both species and population levels can alter emergent processes instrumental to ecosystem function and resilience. As such, understanding the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function and its response to climate perturbation is increasingly important, especially in tropical systems where responses to changes in biodiversity are less predictable and more challenging to assess experimentally. Using large-scale transplant experiments conducted at five neotropical sites, we documented the impacts of changes in intraspecific and interspecific plant richness in the genus

Abstract	This work presents the effects of the high-fat diet (H) consumed by the progenitor (G₀) on cardiometabolic disorders and intestinal microbiota in the second-generation offspring (F₂). The rats submitted to H (G₀H) or control (C) (G₀C) diets, during mating, gestation and lactation, generated F₂ offspring (F₂-G₀H and F₂-G₀C, respectively), which received only the C diet. Both, G₀H and F₂-G₀H, showed changes in the intestinal microbiota, increased MAP, plasma TAG levels, adiposity index and the inflammatory process in retroperitoneal fat and in the colon shown by increased TNF-α, MCP-1, MyD88 and CAV-1 gene expression. In addition, F₂-G₀H showed increased food intake, leptin resistance, total cholesterol and plasma levels of MCP-1 and reduced adiponectin. Regarding microbial communities, a greater diversity was observed in 5 unique families of bacteria that was correlated with cardiometabolic disorders. Overall, progenitors with cardiometabolic disorders induce an increase in food intake, systemic inflammation and microbiota alterations in the F₂-G₀H offspring.

Abstract	Hemiparasitic plants can reduce photosynthesis and alter the host plant’s foliar traits. This relationship may be more intense in ecosystems with nutritionally poor soil, such as the campo rupestre, known for its high endemism. This work evaluated the impact of a generalist hemiparasitic species (Struthanthus flexicaulis) on the physiology as well as physical and chemical traits of a native species (Baccharis dracunculifolia) frequently found in the campo rupestre. We planted twenty 60-day-old B. dracunculifolia individuals in a campo rupestre area. Two year after planting, during the 2019 dry season, we evaluated the water potential (Ψw), photosynthetic efficiency (PE), specific leaf area (SLA) and succulence (SU) of parasitized and non-parasitized host plants. These parameters were measured again in the dry season of 2020, when we also measured chlorophyll, nitrogen balance index (NBI) and phenolic content of leaves of the same individuals. Parasitized individuals had a higher Ψw and PE compared to non-parasitized individuals during the most critical period of the day (12:00 pm to 3:00 pm). However, towards the end of the day, parasitized individuals had lower Ψw and PE than non-parasitized ones. There was no effect of parasitism on SLA and SU. Parasitized plants had higher NBI and lower phenolic content than non-parasitized plants. We concluded that S. flexicaulis parasitism interfered in the physiology and chemical leaf traits of B. dracunculifolia. Parasitism, while momentarily increasing the PE and Ψw of parasitized individuals, can cause physiological imbalances, which could negatively affect the development and lead to the death of the host plant over time.
