Colonization and extinction mediate environmental effects on the phylogenetic diversity of invertebrate communities. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Phylogeny offers a powerful framework for understanding mechanisms driving community assembly. Yet, most empirical studies in community phylogenetics rely on observational approaches. In this study, we explore how two important drivers of community assembly—habitat size and predator presence—shape species richness and phylogenetic relatedness ...

Nitrogen efficiency indexes for evaluating nitrogen uptake and use in ornamental bromeliad’s root system and tank [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018
: The objective of this work was to evaluate if nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) indexes can elucidate functional differences in nutrient uptake between the root system and tank of epiphytic bromeliads. The bromeliads Guzmania lingulata and Vriesea 'Harmony'

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae). Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation enabling higher CO2 concentration close to Rubisco and increased water use efficiency.

Susceptibility of Eucalyptus trees to defoliation by the Eucalyptus snout beetle, Gonipterus sp. n. 2, is enhanced by high foliar contents of 1,8‐cineole, oxalic acid and sucrose and low contents of palmitic and shikimic acid

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 3481-3500, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Gonipterus sp. n. 2 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is an invasive, commercially important weevil that causes large‐scale defoliation of Eucalyptus trees. The weevil specifically feeds on young leaves and new shoots, thus reducing tree growth. The weevil displays a very strong preference for certain Eucalyptus genotypes, however, this behaviour ...

The dynamic multi‐functionality of leaf water transport outside the xylem

New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 6, Page 2099-2107, September 2023., 2023
Summary A surge of papers have reported low leaf vulnerability to xylem embolism during drought. Here, we focus on the less studied, and more sensitive, outside‐xylem leaf hydraulic responses to multiple internal and external conditions. Studies of 34 species have resolved substantial vulnerability to dehydration of the outside‐xylem pathways, and ...

Supplementary Light with Increased Blue Fraction Accelerates Emergence and Improves Development of the Inflorescence in Aechmea, Guzmania and Vriesea

Horticulturae, 2021
In protected cultivation, increasing the light level via supplementary lighting (SL) is critical to improve external quality, especially in periods with low light availability.

Functional redundancy dampens precipitation change impacts on species‐rich invertebrate communities across the Neotropics

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 7, Page 1559-1572, July 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal community responses to extreme climate events can be predicted from the functional traits represented within communities. However, it is unclear whether geographic variation in the response of functional community structure to climate change is primarily driven ...
