A Reply to Verbeeck and Kearsley: Addressing the Challenges of Including lianas in Global Vegetation Models [PDF]

, 2016
Verbeeck and Kearsley (1) rightfully point out that global vegetation models would greatly benefit from implicitly including the effects of lianas. Recent experimental evidence that lianas substantially reduce the capacity of tropical forests to uptake ...

Ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Although evolutionary pollinator shifts are accepted as major sources of floral and species diversity in angiosperms, the mechanisms triggering pollinator shifts remain largely unexplored. In 1970, Stebbins proposed that ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts, but empirical tests of Stebbins' hypothesis ...

C4 photosynthetic anatomy is associated with higher leaf hydraulic conductance and capacitance in Alloteropsis semialata

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Bulk leaf capacitance (Cbulk) in relation to bundle sheath area (BSA) and leaf dimensions in Alloteropsis semialata plants differing in photosynthetic type (C3, C3–C4 or C4) and ploidy level (2x, 6x or 12x). Summary The evolution of C4 photosynthesis requires biochemical innovations to be coordinated with anatomical modifications.

LIANA+_Integrating_MultiOmics_Data v1

A Protocol describing the application of LIANA+ on a spatially-resolved metabolite-transcriptome dataset from a recent murine Parkinson’s disease model Vicari et al., 2023. We demonstrate LIANA+’s utility in harmonizing spatially-resolved transcriptomics and MALDI-MSI data to unravel metabolite-mediated interactions and the molecular mechanisms of ...

Pre-Logging Liana Cutting Reduces Liana Regeneration in Logging Gaps in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon

Ecological Applications, 2002
The cutting of all lianas prior to logging is a reduced-impact logging technique that is predicted to reduce liana proliferation in logging gaps. This study compares liana abundance and species composition in gaps created during conventional and reduced-impact logging in a forest of the eastern Brazilian Amazon.

Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Restoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...

When does the story end? Presence, the present and ‘the contemporary world’

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract We write and read ethnography in the wake of time passing: a fact that has long thrown up a host of epistemological and ethical issues for the doing of anthropology. In this essay I revisit this classic problem—the problem of the ethnographic present—asking what happens when we rethink the relationship between ‘the present’ and ‘presence’, the
