ABSTRACT Aim To disentangle the relative roles of environmental filtering (niche processes) and dispersal limitation (neutral processes) in structuring communities of a highly mobile tropical taxon, and to assess the implications for biodiversity patterns at broad spatial scales. Location Brazilian Amazon. Time Period 2011–2019.

Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.

Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) support critical ecosystem services including plant resource acquisition and productivity. AMF functional traits such as relative biomass investment in root vs soil colonization or drought tolerance are thought to be evolutionarily conserved within AMF lineages and might influence AMF community responses to ...

Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)
ABSTRACT Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using ...
