Edge disturbance shapes liana diversity and abundance but not liana‐tree interaction network patterns in moist semi‐deciduous forests, Ghana

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Edge disturbance can drive liana community changes and alter liana‐tree interaction networks, with ramifications for forest functioning. Understanding edge effects on liana community structure and liana‐tree interactions is therefore essential for forest

Intensity, determinants, and impacts of liana load on tropical trees in central Africa

Ecosphere, 2022
Lianas can create dense foliage that reduces the light available for the host trees on which they grow and can directly damage the host trees during their development. A better estimation of liana load and understanding of the determinants and impacts of

Linking Drone and Ground-Based Liana Measurements in a Congolese Forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Lianas are abundant and diverse in tropical forests and impact forest dynamics. They occupy part of the canopy, forming a layer of leaves overtopping tree crowns. Yet, their interaction with trees has been mainly studied from the ground.

Detection of Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Liana Infestation Using Satellite-Derived Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2021
Lianas (woody vines) play a key role in tropical forest dynamics because of their strong influence on tree growth, mortality and regeneration. Assessing liana infestation over large areas is critical to understand the factors that drive their spatial ...

Climate Change Affects Reproductive Phenology in Lianas of Australia’s Wet Tropics

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Lianas are increasing in abundance in many tropical forests. This increase can alter forest structure and decrease both carbon storage and tree diversity via antagonistic relationships between lianas and their host trees.

The functional mechanism behind the latitudinal pattern of liana diversity: Freeze–thaw embolism reduces the ecological performance of liana species

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
There is a strong decrease in liana diversity along latitudinal and altitudinal gradients at a global scale, and there is a marked difference in liana diversity between tropical and temperate ecosystems. From these observations, it has been proposed that

RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease. Abstract Background and Aims Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mediates NAFLD progression, but its metabolic function is unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet (LD)

Lianas of Mexico [PDF]

Botanical Sciences, 2015
Through an exhaustive literature review, field exploration and revision of herbaria, the presence of 861 native species of lianas in Mexico is documented, pertaining to 250 genera and 59 families. A total of 25.9 % ( n = 224) of the species and three genera are endemic to Mexico. The 15 most diverse families account for 80.1 % of the species and 85.7 %
