Effects of Pleistocene climate changes on species ranges and evolutionary processes in the Neotropical Atlantic Forest [PDF]
The effects of global glaciations on the distribution of organisms is an essential element of many diversification models. However, the empirical evidence supporting this idea is mixed, in particular with respect to explaining tropical forest evolution ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Modelling chemistry in the nocturnal boundary layer above tropical rainforest and a generalised effective nocturnal ozone deposition velocity for sub-ppbv NOx conditions [PDF]
Measurements of atmospheric composition have been made over a remote rainforest landscape. A box model has previously been demonstrated to model the observed daytime chemistry well. However the box model is unable to explain the nocturnal measurements of

Fungal Endophyte Communities in Begonia Species from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest [PDF]
Tropical plants represent hotspots of endophytic fungal species diversity. Based on culture-dependent methods, we evaluated the endophytic fungal communities in leaves of three plant species found in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest: Begonia fischeri, Begonia olsoniae, and Begonia venosa.

Forest recovery prognostics in conservation units of the Atlantic rainforest
Abstract Forest growth models can provide valuable support tools for forest recovery assessment and forestry management, whether in the form of diagnostic or prognostic. Furthremore, they can be applied to characterize each phytophysiognomy in terms of vegetation growth parameters that and can be applied to gauge the spatiotemporal progress of ...

Comparative measurements of carbon dioxide fluxes from two nearby towers in a central Amazonian rainforest: the Manaus LBA site [PDF]
Forests around Manaus have staged the oldest and the longest forest-atmosphere CO2 exchange studies made anywhere in the Amazon. Since July 1999 the exchange of CO2, water, and energy, as well as weather variables, have been measured almost continuously ...

Exotic tree Artocarpus heterophyllus (Moraceae) invades the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest [PDF]
Abstract Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (jackfruit) was man made introduced in Tijuca National Park (TNP) in the mid- 1800s. Native from Southeast Asia, nowadays densely colonizes the TNP. Here we analyze some jackfruit population parameters that probably allowed the local colonization followed by successful invasion of the new habitat.
