A mosaic of colors: The influence of biotic and abiotic factors shaping flower color diversity across a tropical mountain ecosystem. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Flower color diversity within communities is shaped by biotic and abiotic factors. Pollinators often prefer specific colors, and floral pigments also help protect against abiotic factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, precipitation, and temperature.

Dispersal Ability Reduces Thermal Specialization and Prevents Climate-Driven Extinctions in a Neotropical Rainforest. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWe found that species with higher dispersal ability are less specialized in their temperature tolerances and more likely to persist under climate change. By analyzing more than 6 thousand species of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates distributed in the Atlantic Rainforest, we show that more mobile species can avoid extinction by shifting locations,

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Neighbourhood flower diversity increases reproductive success of Lantana hypoleuca Briq (Verbenaceae). [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)A neighbourhood plant richness increases reproductive success. Abstract The attraction of floral visitors depends on intrinsic plant traits and the surrounding floral abundance and diversity. Therefore, it is important to consider the conspecific and heterospecific co‐flowering context to understand plant–pollinator interactions and, consequently ...

Modifications in fire frequency impact belowground plant components in old-growth grasslands, posing risks to their resilience. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise In edaphic old‐growth grasslands, the low nutrient content of the soil restricts plant species establishment. Additionally, fire remains an important factor in shaping vegetation structure and belowground biomass investment in old‐growth grasslands, such as the campos rupestres.
