Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Small understory trees increase growth following sustained drought in the Amazon
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Droughts pose a major threat to the Amazon rainforest, yet the mechanisms enabling trees to maintain growth under prolonged drought remain poorly understood, particularly in the understory layer. We leveraged a 22‐yr Throughfall Exclusion (TFE) in a 1‐ha plot in eastern Amazonia, paired with a Control plot, to test whether small understory ...

Edge effect influences the ecological strategies of plant communities in tropical forest fragments
Plant Biology, EarlyView.The edge effect in Eastern Amazonia influences ecological strategies of plant communities, with forest edges promoting traits linked to hydraulic efficiency, while interior species exhibiting diverse ecological strategies. Abstract The continuous fragmentation of tropical forests is a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This process

, 1985 The female of Perulernaea gamitanae gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Cyclopoida: Lernaeidae) is described from the nasal fossae of an important food fish, Colossoma macropomum (CUVIER), collected in the Peruvian Amazon near lquitos. The new genus differs from

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT South America, a region with high biodiversity, has been profoundly shaped by geological events during the Miocene and Pliocene, as well as by climatic changes in the Pleistocene, leading to complex phylogeographic patterns. The diverse biomes and the biotic exchanges between them, particularly between the Amazon and the Cerrado, have ...

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,
