Hummingbirds and the plants they visit in the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 We describe the relative abundance, plant species visited, and plant communities used by hummingbird species inhabiting the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, a semiarid area in South-central Mexico.

Evaluation of maize and hemp cultivars as bioenergy crop [PDF]
, 2010 We are cultivating annual and perennial crops as monoculture and as mixed culture to investigate plant biomass use for production of renewable energy sources in northern latitudes. We have grown different hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and bioenergy maize (

Extreme fire severity interacts with seed traits to moderate post‐fire species assemblages
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is globally pushing fire regimes to new extremes, with unprecedented large‐scale severe fires. Persistent soil seed banks are a key mechanism for plant species recovery after fires, but extreme fire severity may generate soil temperatures beyond thresholds seeds are adapted to.

Functional mapping of seasonal transition in perennial plants [PDF]
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2014 Unlike annuals, all perennial plants undergo seasonal transitions during ontogeny. As an adaptive response to seasonal changes in climate, the seasonal pattern of growth is likely to be under genetic control, although its underlying genetic basis remains unknown. Here, we develop a computational model that can map specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs)

Allelopathic effects of Rumex obtusifolius leaf extracts against native grassland species [PDF]
, 2006 In perennial grasslands R. obtusifolius (broad-leaved dock) is often surrounded by certain plant species. Thus, it is hypothesized for the current study that Rumex can affect their neighbouring plant species by allelopathic interactions.

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...

A Review of Modeled Water Use Efficiency of Highly Productive Perennial Grasses Useful for Bioenergy
Agronomy, 2020 Whole plant productivity is obviously the ultimate product of leaf photosynthesis and this has led to numerous efforts to relate the two. However, often with perennial grasses, plant productivity is more sink-limited than source-limited, causing the ...
