TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...

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.

A Mechanistic Explanation for Global Patterns of Liana Abundance and Distribution [PDF]
, 2005 One of the main goals in ecology is determining the mechanisms that control the abundance and distribution of organisms. Using data from 69 tropical forests worldwide, I demonstrate that liana (woody vine) abundance is correlated negatively with mean ...

Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America [PDF]
, 2008 : The dynamics of tropical forest woody plants was studied at the Nouragues Field Station, central French Guiana. Stem density, basal area, above-ground biomass and above-ground net primary productivity, including the contribution of litterfall, were ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Leaf phenology plays an important role in plant life‐history strategies and in determining ecosystem‐level fluxes of carbon and water. In seasonal tropical forests, leaf phenology is highly variable among tree species, but limited quantitative data have hindered our ...
