• Atlas of Brazilian Snakes: Verified Point-Locality Maps to Mitigate the Wallacean Shortfall in a Megadiverse Snake Fauna (2019, result): “…data, our results provide a solid basis for future studies, allowing the use of polygon maps (see Roll et al., 2007), gridded maps (Guedes et al., 2018a), expertdrawn maps (Graham and Hijmans, 2006; Ficetola et al., 2014), and species distribution models (Elith et al., 2006; Costa et  al., 2007).”
• The importance of biotic interactions in species distribution models: a test of the Eltonian noise hypothesis using parrots (2014, background): “Research on SDM has grown impressively in the last decade, with studies applying various methods to many different questions in biogeography, macroecology, evolutionary biology and conservation (e.g. Peterson, 2003; Wiens et al., 2006; Costa et al., 2007, 2008; Costa & Schlupp, 2010).”
• Hot, dry and different: Australian lizard richness is unlike that of mammals, amphibians and birds (2010, background): “Evapotranspiration (here actual evapotranspiration, AET) is a common measure of environmental stress in terrestrial environments, with lower AET equating to increased stress (Fraser & Currie, 1996; Costa et al., 2007).”
• Vicariance and endemism in a Neotropical savanna hotspot: distribution patterns of Cerrado squamate reptiles (2011, background): “Even considering taxonomic resolution and sampling coverage limitations (Costa et al., 2007), richness and endemism levels recovered for Cerrado squamates largely surpass those detected in recent syntheses (Myers et al.”
• Sampling bias and the use of ecological niche modeling in conservation planning: a field evaluation in a biodiversity hotspot (2010, methodology): “Ecological niche modeling has been applied in conservation biology to identify areas with high species richness (Garcia 2006; Costa et al. 2007), sample for rare species (Guisan et al.”
• Climatic stability in the Brazilian Cerrado: implications for biogeographical connections of South American savannas, species richness and conservation in a biodiversity hotspot (2012, methodology): “…a good predictor of squamate reptile (Squamata) species richness in the Brazilian Cerrado by utilizing a large database on Cerrado squamate species distributions (Costa et al., 2007; Nogueira et al., 2011); this database is updated via constant study of voucher specimens and ongoing field surveys.”
• Neotropical savanna ants show a reversed latitudinal gradient of species richness, with climatic drivers reflecting the forest origin of the fauna (2018, background): “As for ants, the highest diversity of Cerrado snakes and lizards occurs in the (higher rainfall) south rather than north (Costa et al., 2007).”
