Guapira leucophylla (Nyctaginaceae, Caryophyllales), a new species from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Guapira Aubl. (Nyctaginaceae, Pisonieae) comprises dioecious shrubs and trees widely distributed in the Neotropics and occupying diverse habitats. In the Brazilian Cerrado, the genus occurs in several phytophysiognomies, including Campos Rupestres, a montane rock ecosystem with high levels of endemism but still marked by significant gaps in botanical ...

Plant and insect functional traits influence herbivore performance under climate change

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate change is expected to disrupt many trophic interactions, including those between insect herbivores and their host plants, which could have detrimental effects at the ecosystem level. However, the response of insect herbivory to climate change can vary widely across species, and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying this variation is ...

Stem cambial variants of Taiwan lianas

Botanical Studies, 2022
Abstract Background: Cambium in lianas, responsible for secondary growth, develop diverse and diagnostic traits during the climbing phase. Studies on the cross-section of Taiwanese liana cambial variants are scarce. We collected multiple stem cross-sections from 287 liana species belonging to 52 families.

Number of lianas per tree and number of trees climbed by lianas at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

, 2005
In the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, lianas (woody-climbing plants) had a clumped distribution on trees, and 63.3 percent of trees \u3e10 cm in diameter carried at least one liana.

The Search for Champion Lianas: The Largest Lianas on Six Continents

The Search for Champion Lianas: The Largest Lianas on Six Continents
ABSTRACT Determining species' maximum sizes provides valuable insights into their ecology, natural history, and potential ecosystem contributions. Using both plot‐based and forest‐wide surveys on six continents, we document the largest “Champion” liana ever recorded (866 mm diameter) from an African forest, as well as continental ...

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Wanted: New allometric equations for large lianas and African lianas [PDF]

, 2016
Liana 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 ...

Lianas, trees and insect herbivory

, 2018
Insect herbivory is a key ecological process which mediates the structure, functioning and maintenance of forests. Studies of insect herbivory in tropical forests typically focus on trees whereas the contributions of other plant types, particularly ...
