Revista Árvore, 2013 Lianas (trepadeiras lenhosas) desempenham papel vital na dinâmica de florestas tropicais, contribuindo para abundância, diversidade e estrutura da comunidade. Técnicas para realizar o censo e estimar a biomassa de lianas têm sido usadas principalmente em

Wanted: new allometric equations for large lianas and African lianas [PDF]
Biotropica, 2016 AbstractLiana abundance appears to be increasing, possibly to the detriment of trees, but methods for measuring liana biomass are undependable. We show that five commonly used allometric equations produce disparate results and discuss two large information gaps—Central African lianas and large lianas—that currently preclude accurate liana biomass ...

A importância da luz na ocupação de árvores por lianas
RodriguésiaLianas interagem de forma negativa com as árvores, uma vez que aumentam suas taxas de mortalidade. Seria esperado, portanto, que árvores apresentassem possíveis caracteres que as defenderiam contra lianas.

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)

Ecological Indicators, 2022 The single functional differentiation of lianas and trees has been explored at both local and regional scales. Traits are not independent of each other, and the differentiation and integration of the multiple traits of lianas and trees under contrasting ...

Global increase of lianas in tropical forests
Global Change BiologyAbstractLianas profoundly affect tropical forests dynamics, reducing productivity and carbon storage, which underscores the importance of monitoring change in their abundance in projecting the future of the global terrestrial carbon store. While increasing liana populations are documented within the Neotropics, the global consistency of these patterns ...

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 %

Species divergence and phylogenetic variation of ecophysiological traits in lianas and trees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The climbing habit is an evolutionary key innovation in plants because it is associated with enhanced clade diversification. We tested whether patterns of species divergence and variation of three ecophysiological traits that are fundamental for plant ...

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Tropical tree-climbing lianas form paths that benefit foraging of dominant ants which might protect the host tree against herbivores. In contrast, lianas are often associated with negative effects on growth and reproduction of host trees due to light ...
