Can lianas assist rainforest restoration? [PDF]

, 2015
Can the strategic incorporation of lianas (woody vines) into rainforest restoration plantings enhance biodiversity-conservation outcomes? Lianas are an integral component of primary tropical rainforests yet are often omitted from rainforest restoration ...

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

A Decadal Home‐Range Dynamics and Habitat Shift in Golden Snub‐Nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides novel insights into the biogeographic patterns of the Sichuan golden snub‐nosed monkey, particularly in terms of habitat suitability and spatial‐use strategies. We found that habitat suitability has expanded over the past decade, with substantial shifts in the environmental factors influencing habitat suitability, from terrain and ...

Extraction of Liana Stems Using Geometric Features from Terrestrial Laser Scanning Point Clouds

Remote Sensing, 2022
Lianas are self-supporting systems that are increasing their dominance in tropical forests due to climate change. As lianas increase tree mortality and reduce tree growth, one key challenge in ecological remote sensing is the separation of a liana and ...

Seeing both the forest and the trees: An automated workflow for ultra‐high‐resolution drone imaging of tropical canopies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical forest canopies host diverse tree and liana assemblages, yet key foliar and reproductive traits needed for taxonomic identification of canopy plants are often difficult to see from the forest floor, creating a bottleneck in inventories.

‘Talk to Us, Not About Us’: Children's Understandings and Experiences of Participation in Australian Family Law

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A hive of recent policy and legislative activity in Australian family law has emphasized the importance of children's right to participate in decision‐making following parental separation. Yet a powerful tension persists between supporting children's right to participation and protecting children from parental conflict.

Identificación macroscópica caulinar de las lianas más comunes del Parque Provincial Moconá, Misiones, Argentina

Revista del Museo de La Plata, 2021
Debido a su forma de vida, las lianas presentan una gran diversidad de adaptaciones en sus tallos, y, como consecuencia, son fácilmente distinguibles a partir de su morfología caulinar.

Evolutionary framework and tribal circumscription of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto based on a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolutionary history of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) has been shaped by multiple whole‐genome duplications and rapid radiations, producing an ecologically diverse lineage whose internal relationships have long remained unresolved.
