A comparison of methods for excluding light from stems to evaluate stem photosynthesis. [PDF]
Abstract Premise A comparison of methods using different materials to exclude light from stems to prevent stem CO2 exchange (i.e., photosynthesis), without affecting stem conductance to water vapor, surface temperature, and relative humidity, was conducted on stems of avocado trees in California.

Abundance, Diversity and Phenology of Mosquito Larvae in a Highly Anthropized Wetland: Health and Management Implications of Gándaras de Budiño (NW Spain). [PDF]
The natural and anthropized wetland of Gándaras de Budiño (Galicia, Spain) hosts a great number of mosquito species. Culex pipiens s.l. and Culex torrentium pose an emerging risk for West Nile virus transmission. The temporary and polluted waters, as well as the summer and spring seasons, favor the larval proliferation of these vectors.

Forest disturbance and recovery in Peruvian Amazonia
This study used Landsat time series in combination with data from 1840 National Forest Inventory plots in Peruvian Amazonia to determine the impact of disturbance, environmental conditions and human use on forests' biomass and tree diversity. We found that the intensity of forest disturbance had a negative effect on the recovery of aboveground biomass ...

We investigated the effects of climate and microhabitat conditions on the prevalence of endozoochorous plant species in the seed rain of tropical montane forests in southern Ecuador. Our analyses demonstrate that the prevalence of endozoochorous plant species in seed rain increases with temperature across elevations and with leaf area index within ...
