First Record of Brazil nut Pollinators Outside Amazon Biome
We present the first records of insect visitors and pollinators of Bertholletia excelsa (Lecythidaceae) in a 25 years plantation outside the Amazon biome, flowering and producing Brazil nuts. We installed a platform to observe and photograph the insects.

Interaction between floral rewards and floral symmetry shapes diversification dynamics in Amazonian trees. [PDF]
Summary Floral zygomorphy, or monosymmetry, is thought to have a positive effect on the diversification rates of angiosperms, but its true impact is still an open topic. Given the controversy surrounding this matter, our study evaluates whether rewards such as nectar and pollen produced by floral structures evolve in correlation with floral symmetry ...

Composite design bioinspired by the mesocarp of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa)
Abstract The mesocarp of Bertholletia excelsa is a rich source of inspiration for strong, stiff and damage-tolerant composites. The bioinspired composites developed here are composed of an epoxy matrix with a 3D printed polylactic acid reinforced with 30% of carbon fiber (PLA-30CF) inspired in fibers, and syntactic foam inspired by ...

Morphological evaluation of Bertholletia excelsa comparing different methods [PDF]
Castanheira-do-Brasil is a semi-deciduous species which belongs to forests made up of vegetation specific to the Amazon Forest biome. The objective of this work is to perform the leaf and adult morphometry of B. excelsa by the traditional method and to compare with image analysis processed using the ImageJ program.
