Evolutionary patterns in the geographic range size of Atlantic Forest plants

Ecography, Volume 43, Issue 10, Page 1510-1520, October 2020., 2020
Species’ geographic range size is arguably the single most important predictor of vulnerability to extinction and a key metric in ecology. Despite this, patterns of specific variation in range size and their underlying reasons are still poorly understood.

Microsatellite markers for Caesalpinia echinata Lam. (Brazilwood), a tree that named a country [PDF]

Conservation Genetics, 2007
Caesalpinia echinata, commonly known as Pau-brasil (Brazilwood), the famous tree that named Brazil is native to the Atlantic forest. Men extensively exploited it ever since discovery and colonial times due to its value as a source of red dye. As a consequence, Brazilwood is a threatened species with populations reduced to small forest fragments.

Inside the Scriptorium: Non-Invasive In Situ Identification of Dyes in Illuminated Manuscripts by Microspectrofluorimetry and Multivariate Analysis: The Crescenzago Choir Books (End 15th Century) as a Case Study

Heritage, 2023
In the present work, a method is proposed that combines spectrofluorimetry with multivariate analysis (cluster and principal components) to non-invasively investigate natural dyes used, mainly in the form of lakes, in illuminations.

Leaf antioxidant fluctuations and growth responses in saplings of Caesalpinia echinata Lam. (brazilwood) under an urban stressing environment

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2010
We intended to establish how efficient the leaf antioxidant responses of C. echinata are against oxidative environmental conditions observed in an urban environment and their relations to growth and biomass parameters. Plants were grown for 15 months in four sites: Congonhas and Pinheiros, affected by pollutants from vehicular emissions; Ibirapuera ...

Germination, carbohydrate composition and vigor of cryopreserved Caesalpinia echinata seeds

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2012
The present study investigated the germination and vigor of Caesalpinia echinata (Brazilwood) seeds stored at negative temperatures. Recently harvested seeds were cryopreserved at -18º or -196ºC and periodically evaluated for germination, seed vigor and ...

Impact of natural climate change and historical land use on landscape development in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [PDF]

, 2019
Climate variations and historical land use had a major impact on landscape development in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica). In southeast Brazil, rainforest expanded under warm-humid climate conditions in the late Holocene, but have been ...

EFFECT OF BRASI-COLOR DYE ON UV PROTECTION OF BAMBOO KNITTED FABRICS [PDF]

Annals of the University of Oradea: Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork, 2018
Even natural dyes have several limitations such as high sensitivity to washing, light, pH, and low color strength and seasonal variation, their use is largely encouraged due to their renewability and multi- functional properties.
