Compounds from Brazil nuts and their effects on Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) survival in bulk ground feed [PDF]
Sitophilus zeamais is a pest in several stored agricultural products, but presents difficulty feeding on Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K). Even when certain bulk bran feeds are unsuitable for its development, it may be found in these products ...

Minimum number of measurements for evaluating Bertholletia excelsa.
Repeatability studies on fruit species are of great importance to identify the minimum number of measurements necessary to accurately select superior genotypes. This study aimed to identify the most efficient method to estimate the repeatability coefficient (r) and predict the minimum number of measurements needed for a more accurate evaluation of ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Spatial Mismatches of Plant‐Pollinator Interactions Under Future Climate Conditions
ABSTRACT Aim Global change could disrupt critical ecological interactions, especially if interacting species shift their geographic ranges at different rates or in different directions. Functional redundancy within generalized networks could make them more resilient to climate change than networks with highly specialized interactions.

ABSTRACT Aim The assembly of tropical tree floras is complex, involving many lineage‐specific histories; however, focusing on the biogeographic history of diverse clades can reveal general patterns. We investigated the historical biogeography of the ecologically important Brazil nut clade (Lecythidoideae) to: (1) expand prior phylogenies with greater ...
