Effects of Temperature Peaks and Water Stress on Tropical Seed Germination: Experimental Trials With Species From Brazil's Northeastern Coastal Zone

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of high temperatures and water deficit on germination provides valuable insights into seed stress tolerance, guiding the use of native seeds in ecological restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of (1) temperature peaks and (2) water stress treatments and post‐stress recovery on the germination of some ...

Response of frugivorous primates to changes in fruit supply in a northern Amazonian forest [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014
Few attempts have been made to understand how spatiotemporal changes in fruit supply influence frugivores in tropical forests. The marked spatiotemporal variation in fruit supply can affect frugivore abundance and distribution, but studies addressing the effects of this variation on primates are scarce.

Biobased Polyurethane Films Based on Andiroba (Carapa guianensis) and Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) Oil Polyols

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 30, August 10, 2026.
Polyurethane films were prepared from andiroba (Carapa guianensis) and buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) oil‐derived polyols, emphasizing their potential as bio‐based materials. UV–Vis analysis indicates the retention of carotenoid‐related chromophoric features within the polymer matrix.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Erosive potential of juices of amazonian fruits

, 2020
La erosión dental es la pérdida irreversible de la superficie del esmalte o dentina, debido a exposición frecuente de ácidos de origen no bacteriano. A pesar de que ciertos jugos de frutas presentan potencial erosivo in vitro, no existe una evidencia conclusiva al respecto.

The role of precipitation and host assemblage composition in shaping bat–bat fly network structure

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Climatic seasonality plays an important role in shaping ecological interactions, including those between bats and their ectoparasitic bat flies. Although previous studies have acknowledged the influence of climate on the structure of bat–bat fly interaction networks, the existence of biogeographical patterns driven by climatic seasonality ...

Vitex oreadica and V. umbellata (Lamiaceae): two new species from Cerrado and Atlantic forest of Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.
