Tree species controls over nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in a wet tropical forest
Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Wet tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle, but given current rates of land‐use change, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation could reduce productivity in regenerating forests in this biome. Whereas the strong controls of climate and parent material over forest recovery are well known, the influence of ...

Cytogenetic studies of five taxa of the tribe Attini (Formicidae: Myrmicinae)
Caryologia, 2013 Cytogenetic studies have been carried out on more than 750 ant taxa and are an important tool in evolutionary, taxonomic and phylogenetic studies. However, less than 10% of the species reported in the tribe Attini have been studied. The aim of the present study was to describe the chromosomes of five attine ants collected in Vicosa, Minas Gerais state,
