Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and richness.

Unraveling Amazon tree community assembly using Maximum Information Entropy: a quantitative analysis of tropical forest ecology [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
In a time of rapid global change, the question of what determines patterns in species abundance distribution remains a priority for understanding the complex dynamics of ecosystems. The constrained maximization of information entropy provides a framework

Weight-Length Ratio of Piranhas <i>Serrasalmus</i> (Characiformes, Serrasalmidae) in Bolivia: Relationships to Molecular Divergence and Maximum Size? [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study presents WLRs of nine piranha or palometa fish species of genus Serrasalmus present in the Amazon and La Plata basins of Bolivia and compares differences with genetic divergence (mtDNA COI locus) and the observed maximum size. All species showed an exponential (power type) growth pattern, and all WLRs were significantly different among all ...

Family imprint reveals basin-wide patterns of Amazon forest embolism resistance [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Amazon rainforests face intensifying water stress due to increases in vapour pressure deficit and changing hydrological regimes. Embolism resistance (Ψ50) is a critical metric of tree survival under drought conditions, it is defined as a plant’s capacity

Tree mode of death and mortality risk factors across Amazon forests [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Tree mortality has been shown to be the dominant control on carbon storage in Amazon forests, but little is known of how and why Amazon forest trees die. Here the authors analyse a large Amazon-wide dataset, finding that fast-growing species face greater

Variation in wood density across South American tropical forests [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates and carbon maps.

Functional composition of the Amazonian tree flora and forests [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Plants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, leaf size, and seed mass; a ...

The biogeography of the Amazonian tree flora [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
We describe the geographical variation in tree species composition across Amazonian forests and show how environmental conditions are associated with species turnover.
