Ecological Interactions Shape the Dynamics of Seed Predation in Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The complex network of direct and indirect relationships determines not only the species abundances but also the community characteristics such as diversity and stability. In this context, seed predation is a direct interaction that affects the reproductive success of the plant.

Hygroscopic behavior and degree of caking of grugru palm (Acrocomia aculeata) powder [PDF]
Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2012 This work aims to investigate the hygroscopic behavior of grugru palm powder through adsorption isotherms and its degree of caking. The powders of grugru palm (T1 - without maltodextrin, T2 - with 8 % of maltodextrin) were obtained by oven drying at 65 °C for 25 h.

Microcrystals and Microfibers of Cellulose from Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae) Characterization
ENVABIO100, 2023 In the context of the so-called lignocellulose bio-refinery, the coconut shell (S) and pulp (P) of Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae) are interesting agro-industrial wastes that can be used as feedstock for the production of high value-added products. The aim of this work was to evaluate these lignocellulosic residues S and P, to obtain the microcrystal ...

Climate Change Vulnerability and Conservation Priorities for Atlantic Forest Palms [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Climate change may reduce palm richness in the northern and central Atlantic Forest. Some palms may lose their entire range areas, while others may expand in the future. Range‐restricted palms tend to be more vulnerable to climate change. ABSTRACT Climate change is expected to significantly impact biodiversity, causing shifts in palm species ...
