Solo, topografia, mortalidade e recrutamento de árvores na floresta tropical decidual

Gaia Scientia, 2018
Muitos são os fatores que podem aumentar ou diminuir a intensidade da dinâmica nas florestas tropicais. Com certeza o clima pode ser considerado fator determinante para as taxas de mortalidade e recrutamento de arvores nestas florestas. Entretanto, a topografia e o tipo de solo também são fatores que sinergicamente influenciam a distribuição e ...

Revision of the Elusive Harvestmen Genus Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927 (Opiliones: Laniatores: Gonyleptidae): Investigating the Presumed Northeastern Brazilian Discocyrtus‐Like Relatives

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A maximum parsimony analysis based on morphological characters (23 taxa; 98 characters; 1951 scorings) was conducted to test the monophyly of Discocyrtulus Roewer, 1927, and to assess its phylogenetic relationships within Gonyleptidae. The results recover the species currently assigned to Discocyrtulus as phylogenetically distant from ...

Ecological and functional effects of habitat conversion and seasons on fruit‐feeding butterfly assemblages in tropical dry forests Efeitos ecológicos e funcionais da conversão do habitat e da sazonalidade sobre assembleias de borboletas frugívoras em florestas tropicais secas

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 760-773, August 2026.
Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, August 2026.
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Estrutura de uma floresta tropical sazonalmente seca fragmentada por rodovia

Scientia Forestalis
RESUMO Embora fundamentais para a integração territorial e o desenvolvimento econômico, as rodovias exercem uma forte pressão antrópica sobre os remanescentes florestais, desencadeando uma contínua fragmentação da paisagem. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da rodovia estadual RN-118 sobre a vegetação da Reserva Particular do ...
