Development and evaluation of species distribution models for five endangered elasmobranchs in southwestern Atlantic
Species distribution models (SDMs) are
tools to obtain habitat suitability maps based on
historical species occurrences and environmental
variables. Those maps can be used to restrict fishing
grounds or to assist in planning and reserve selection.
This is especially important for species at ris...

Climate change impact on the potential yield of Arabica coffee in southeast Brazil
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) projections of global mean temperature rises are worrisome
for coffee crop due to the intolerance of the Arabica
species to high air temperature variations. The crop has a large
participation in the Brazilian trade balance; therefore, in this
