Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network

Oikos, EarlyView.
In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Induration of ferrallitic microaggregated soils (Northeastern Brazil)

, 1998
Studies of soils in the northeastern region of Brazil showed the widespread occurrence of hard subsurface horizons that strongly restrict the penetration of plant roots, water and ploughing tools, and that consequently reduce the agricultural yields. The objective was to characterise the groundmass of these hard horizons and to identify the cementing ...
