Seedling Mortality and Herbivory Damage in Subtropical and Temperate Populations: Testing the Hypothesis of Higher Herbivore Pressure Toward the Tropics
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Variability of water relations and photosynthesis in Eucryphia cordifolia Cav. (Cunoniaceae) over the range of its latitudinal and altitudinal distribution in Chile
(2010-04-06)
The aim of this study was to investigate, during
the summer of the year 2008, the variation in leaf water and
photosynthetic characteristics of Eucryphia cordifolia Cav.
(Cunoniaceae) along its broad latitudinal ...
Seedling mortality and herbivory damage in subtropical and temperate populations: Testing the hypothesis of higher herbivore pressure toward the tropics

Clutch size of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) varies on a latitudinal gradient
(University of Oradea Publishing House, 2009-01)
The distribution of the Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) ranges from 5°S to 32°S. Thus, caiman populations are exposed to different climatic conditions, and this latitudinal gradient could affect aspects of their ...
No defensive role of ants throughout a broad latitudinal and elevational range of a cactus
(Wiley, 2015-05)
Defensive mutualisms mediated by extrafloral nectaries are particularly variable, their net results may change with seasons, communities and environmental contexts. Particularly, an environmental factor that can promote ...
Niche-breadth of freshwater macrophytes occurring in tropicalsouthern African rivers predicts species global latitudinal range
(Elsevier Science, 2016-09)
The study tested the hypothesis that measurement, using multivariate Principal Components Analy-sis (PCA), of the niche-breadth of river macrophyte species in southern tropical Africa, may predicttheir larger-scale ...
Exploring physiological plasticity and local thermal adaptation in an intertidal crab along a latitudinal cline.
Intertidal organisms have evolved physiological mechanisms that enable them to maintain performance and survive during periods of severe environmental stress with temperatures close to their tolerance limits. The level of ...
Macrogeographic genetic variation in broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008-12)
Broad-snouted caiman's (Caiman latirostris) geographic distribution comprises one of the widest latitudinal ranges among all crocodilians. In this study we analyzed the relationship between geographic distance (along the ...
Macrogeographic Genetic Variation in Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(WILEY-LISS, 2008)
Broad-snouted caiman`s (Caiman latirostris) geographic distribution comprises one of the widest latitudinal ranges among all crocodilians. In this study we analyzed the relationship between geographic distance (along the ...
Thermal physiological traits and plasticity of metabolism are sensitive to biogeographic breaks in a rock-pool marine shrimp.
Populations of broadly distributed species commonly exhibit latitudinal variation in thermal tolerance and physiological plasticity. This variation can be interrupted when biogeographic breaks occur across the range of a ...
