Testing the size‐grain hypothesis in a generalist predator: The case of an ant species in the Brazilian savannah

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In our recent study, we examined whether ants in the Brazilian Cerrado follow the “grain‐size hypothesis,” which proposes that larger ants should have proportionally longer legs to move efficiently across different environments. We used Ectatomma permagnum, a common predatory ant in the Cerrado, measuring hundreds of individuals collected from various ...

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Tripartite Symbiosis Between Legumes, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Fixing Rhizobia: Interactions and Regulation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

Limited drought tolerance in the neotropical seasonally dry forest plants impairs future species richness

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,
