Gene and species trees of a Neotropical group of treefrogs: Genetic diversification in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and the origin of a polyploid species
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2010-12-01)
The Neotropical Phyllomedusa burmeisteri treefrog group includes four diploid (P. bahiana, P. burmeisteri, P. distincta and P. iheringii) and one tetraploid (P. tetraploidea) forms. Here we use mitochondrial and nuclear ...
Forest fragmentation in the Argentine Chaco: recruitment and population patterns of dominant tree species
(Springer, 2015-09)
The forest in the Central Argentine Chacohas been dramatically fragmented and persists only asisolated patches in an agricultural matrix. In this study,we evaluated the effects of fragmentation on totaldensity, recruitment, ...
Configuration and geometry of sap holes drilled by the White-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes cactorum): effects of tree structure, sap traits and plant health
(Csiro Publishing, 2015)
Several species of woodpecker drill holes in living trees to feed on flows of sap. We describe sap-holes drilled by the White-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes cactorum) on plant species in semi-arid woodlands of northern ...
Conflicting values: ecosystem services and invasive tree management
(Springer, 2014-01)
Tree species have been planted widely beyond their native ranges to provide or enhance ecosystem services such as timber and fibre produc- tion, erosion control, and aesthetic or amenity benefits. At the same time, ...
Pioneer tree responses to variation of soil attributes in a tropical semi-deciduous forest in Brazil
(2017-02-17)
The occurrence of pioneer tree species inside tropical forests is usually associated with canopy openness due to disturbances. The distribution of these species under different environmental conditions, aside from light ...
Tree diversity and elevational gradient: The case of Lauraceae in the Atlantic Rainforest
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-09-01)
Lauraceae have an ancient evolutionary history and wide distribution, providing a great model for studies of the biogeographical distribution patterns of plant species. The effects of elevational variation on plant diversity ...
Tree-ring formation, radial increment periodicity, and phenology of tree species from a seasonal semi-deciduous forest in southeast Brazil
(INT ASSOC WOOD ANATOMISTS, 2008)
Many tropical tree species produce growth rings in response to seasonal environmental factors that influence the activity of the vascular cambium. We applied the following methods to analyze the annual nature of treering ...
