Bacteriome Diversity of Soil Islands Associated With Bromeliads From Ironstone Outcrops in the Brazilian Pantanal. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Knowledge about the diversity and distribution of microorganisms in natural environments is essential for understanding the dominant microbial groups and predicting their ecological functions. This study is aimed at describing the bacteriome diversity in soils associated with bromeliads in the Brazilian Pantanal region, utilizing genomic approaches. We

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

The role of bromeliad structural complexity on the presence, spatial distribution and predator avoidance in Tityus neglectus (Scorpiones: Buthidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Due to remarkable architectural design featuring rosette‐like leaf arrangements, bromeliads serve as habitats for various species. Bromeliad architecture is a key factor in the spatial distribution and occurrence of the Tityus neglectus scorpion. Furthermore, T.

Linking environmental adaptation and genetic structure to the biogeography of flower colour lineages in Lysimachia monelli (Primulaceae). [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
Flower colour differences in the Mediterranean plant Lysimachia monelli are linked to distinct genetic lineages with geographic separation and varying environmental niches. Abstract Reproductive traits such as flower colour can have a profound influence on the diversification of plant species, making understanding their evolutionary ramifications one ...

Paleodietary reconstruction of endemic rodents from the precolumbian Dominican Republic: Discriminating wild feeding behavior from diets linked to human niche construction activities

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 976-995, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract In the Greater Antilles, certain animal taxa that have long been theorized to have been managed by indigenous peoples prior to AD1492, the main candidates being a group of endemic caviomorph rodents known as hutias (Capromyinae). This isotopic study investigates the paleodiets of several species of endemic rodents from three late precolonial ...

Using drone imagery to upscale estimates of water capacity in tank bromeliads on steep neotropical inselbergs

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 196-202, April 2022., 2022
Using simple drone‐based imagery, we were able to calculate and upscale the water tank capacity of Alcantarea distractila, a bromeliad genus which is widespread on inselbergs in Southeastern Brazil. Our results provide a first large‐scale quantification of the estimated availability of water tank reservoir of inselberg, which highlights the potential ...

Desenvolvimento de mudas de bromélia-imperial (Alcantarea imperialis) em diferentes substratos Development of imperial bromeliad (Alcantarea imperialis) in different substrates

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2004
A bromélia-imperial (Alcantarea imperialis), por ter grande importância ornamental, vem sendo depredada irracionalmente. A produção de mudas em larga escala é uma opção para conter o extrativismo desmedido, proporcionando, com isso, mudas ao mercado, sem
