Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae). [PDF]
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Analyses of temporal diversity patterns in a stricto sensu Cerrado fragment [PDF]
We performed a forest inventory in a fragment of stricto sensu Cerrado to evaluate alpha and beta temporal diversity among adult and natural regeneration (NR) strata. Fifteen plots of 1,000 m2 (20 × 50 m) were set to sample the adult stratum, and each plot divided in sub-plots of 100 m2 (2 × 50 m) to sample NR.

Patterns of Water and Heat Flux Across a Biome Gradient From Tropical Forest to Savanna in Brazil [PDF]
We investigated the seasonal patterns of water vapor and sensible heat flux along a tropical biome gradient from forest to savanna. We analyzed data from a network of flux towers in Brazil that were operated within the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere ...

Influência dos Afloramentos Rochosos sobre a Comunidade Lenhosa no Cerrado stricto sensu [PDF]
Objetivou-se verificar como os afloramentos rochosos influenciam os padrões ecológicos das espécies lenhosas no cerrado stricto sensu e se existem espécies indicadoras de ambientes. Foram amostradas dez parcelas e registrados todos os indivíduos lenhosos vivos com DAS ≥ 5 cm e também as porcentagens de coberturas de afloramentos rochosos.

[Folivore caterpillars on Roupala montana Aubl. (Proteaceae) in cerrado sensu stricto]. [PDF]
Richness of lepidopteran species in the cerrado is high. The confirmation of this richness is based on adult records but knowledge of larvae-host plants interactions is still incipient. The main purpose of this work was to identify folivorous caterpillar species on Roupala montana Aubl. in areas of a Brazilian cerrado sensu stricto, their dietary range,
