Expecting the Next Coup? The Unchallenged Brazilian Military's Bargaining Power

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
The civil‐military relations in Brazil have faced criticism due to weak political institutions and significant military autonomy, resulting in a regression of democratisation. This article posits that the shortcomings in Brazilian civil‐military relations have historical roots, with military prerogatives established in the early twentieth century and ...

Trait coordination reveals the fast–slow plant economics spectrum along the vertical canopy profile in central Amazonian forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3596-3610, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how environmental drivers affect tree functioning is essential to improve predictions of tropical forests' response to climate change. While functional traits directly influence tree performance, our understanding of how canopy environments shape their ...

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Growth–survival trade‐off in temperate trees is weak and restricted to late‐successional stages

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3466-3477, November 2025.
Our findings highlight a role of disturbances in filtering life‐history strategies and their potential impact on forest dynamics and global carbon cycling, but also a need to better understand the mediating processes of tree demographic trade‐offs.

Desenvolvimento econômico e ditadura: uma análise dos determinantes para qualificar a Ditadura Militar brasileira

Cadernos de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas
Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar diferentes concepções teóricas do conceito de "desenvolvimento" – como a abordagem neoclássica, centrada no crescimento do produto, as perspectivas de Amartya Sen e Bresser-Pereira, que incorporam dimensões sociais,

Precipitation and Temperature‐Dependent Locomotor Performance Drive the Abundance of a Neotropical Lizard

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
We investigated how climate and ecophysiology affect the demography of the lizard Tropidurus oreadicus in the Brazilian Cerrado. While lizards were more frequently captured in the dry season, their abundance peaked during the rainy season when their locomotor performance was highest.

Prioridade: construir o capital social

Revista Espaço Acadêmico, 2019
O fracasso das recomendações do ”Consenso de Washington” – liberalizar, privatizar e flexibilizar as relações de trabalho – impõe uma revisão urgente da teoria e da prática do desenvolvimento econômico.

Surviving in a Warming and Fragmented World: Long‐Term Population Dynamics of the Lizard Gonatodes humeralis

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change presents significant challenges to species survival; however, the long‐term effects on tropical lizard populations remain poorly understood. Previous studies have predicted contrasting outcomes, with some forecasting a high risk of extinction due to rising temperatures, while others suggest greater resilience in tropical ...

CRESCIMENTO E DESENVOLVIMENTO DE LÍNGUA-DE-VACA

Colloquium Agrariae, 2020
A língua-de-vaca é uma planta daninha perene, que infesta principalmente pastagens, lavouras anuais e perenes na região Sul do Brasil. Por ser uma planta perene, o controle se torna mais difícil devido ao rebrote. O trabalho teve como objetivo acompanhar

Microbial drivers of root plasticity

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...
