Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]

, 2010
We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Turning a new leaf: PhenoVision provides leaf phenology data at the global scale

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plant phenology dictates many aspects of community function and ecosystem dynamics. Yet, global phenology data are still limited, especially in areas lacking monitoring programs. Here we present a new data resource, PhenoVision–Leaf, which extends a computer vision pipeline utilizing iNaturalist digital image vouchers to produce global‐

Mining buried plant trait data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF): Comparison and integration with multiple plant trait databases

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Despite the availability of several plant trait databases, significant traits remain undocumented for a substantial number of species. To address this issue, the current study explored digital text from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as an innovative source of plant trait information and evaluated its capacity to ...

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Variable grouping patterns in primates: A test of the better competitor hypothesis in male Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.

Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

Evaluation of O3 Effects on Cumulative Photosynthetic CO2 Uptake in Seedlings of Four Japanese Deciduous Broad-Leaved Forest Tree Species Based on Stomatal O3 Uptake [PDF]

, 2019
The current level of tropospheric ozone (O3) is expected to reduce the net primary production of forest trees.Here, we evaluated the negative effects of O3 on the photosynthetic CO2 uptake of Japanese forest trees species based on their cumulative ...

Life Forms and Mycorrhizal Types Shape Resource‐Use Strategies Reflected by Different Functional Traits in Woody Plants of the Qinling Mountains

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Both life forms and mycorrhizal symbioses shape plant functional trait divergence, revealing divergent resource‐use strategies across woody species in temperate forests. ABSTRACT Plant functional traits are influenced by both mycorrhizal types and life forms, yet the interactive effects of these two factors on functional trait regulation remain poorly ...
