Protecting threatened species and music traditions
Musical instruments are indispensable to music traditions worldwide and often made from natural materials derived from species that are increasingly endangered. International trade threatens the survival of some of these species, as addressed by their inclusion in the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ...

Understanding how solar irradiance influences the physiological quality of adult trees of the Paubrasilia echinata morphotypes may help define the reforestation strategies for this species. From the trunk of this tree, the raw material is obtained for the confection of stringed musical instruments.

Dispersal‐related plant traits are associated with range size in the Atlantic Forest
Abstract Aim The efficiency of animal‐mediated seed dispersal is threatened by the decline of animal populations, especially in tropical forests. We hypothesise that large‐seeded plants with animal‐mediated dispersal tend to have limited geographic ranges and face an increased risk of extinction due to the potential decline in seed dispersal by large ...

Climate change compromises leaf units and lignin content in sun-tolerant Paubrasilia echinata plants
Abstract It is of great global interest how shade-tolerant and sun-tolerant species will respond to the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios of climate change predicted by the end of the 21st century. To elucidate this question, we used young plants of the shade- and sun-tolerant ecotypes of Paubrasilia echinata, a tree native ...

RESUMO: Na década de 60, em vários locais do país, foram instalados pequenos talhões experimentais de espécies florestais nativas e exóticas, entre elas Paubrasilia echinata, com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento das mesmas em condições de plantios homogêneos, sendo que anos depois grande número dessas parcelas ficou sem manutenção e foi abandonada.
