Ants associated with fronds of the tropical bracken fern Pteridium esculentum subsp. arachnoideum

Biota Neotropica, 2022
Abstract: Pteridium is a cosmopolitan genus of ferns that possess nectaries on its fronds (fern leaves), thereby attracting ants. Foliar (or extrafloral) nectaries are nectar-producing glands that are not related to pollination, but rather attract ants and other arthropods.

Proximity and abundance of mother trees affects recruitment patterns in a long‐term tropical forest restoration study

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 12, Page 1826-1837, December 2021., 2021
Remnant trees and forest fragments in agricultural landscapes can be important sources of propagules to facilitate forest recovery. However, many studies simply quantify forest cover in the surrounding landscape as a percentage, with little attention given to species composition, and subsequently fail to detect an effect on recruitment patterns.

Growth of Tropical Bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum): Response to Weather Variations and Burning [PDF]

Invasive Plant Science and Management, 2010
AbstractThe ecology of tropical bracken, which occurs in tropical regions, is not well known. We studied its response to weather variations and burning in the south Ecuadorian Andes, where this weed had already overgrown 40% of the pastureland. In field observations, a constant 1 : 1 ratio of emerging and dying leaves suggested limitation of frond ...

Accounting for multiple ecosystem services in a simulation of land‐use decisions: Does it reduce tropical deforestation?

Global Change Biology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 2403-2420, April 2020., 2020
Our simulation of decision‐making under uncertainty shows that accounting for multiple ecosystem services (ES) in addition to socio‐economic objectives has heterogeneous effects on tropical land‐use allocation. It saves some natural forest if the initial natural forest share is below 38%, and can stop deforestation once the natural forest share drops ...

Structure and chemical nature of intercellular protuberances in Dennstaedtiaceae rhizomes (Polypodiopsida)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2023
Intercellular protuberances (IPs) are projections on the cell surface and have been reported for families of ferns, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms. Data on the type, chemical composition, and distribution of these structures among vascular plants are ...

Control of bracken by promoting regeneration of woody vegetation in the Yucatan Peninsula

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
In the tropical dry forest of the Yucatan Peninsula in southern Mexico, as in many parts of the Neotropics, deforested areas have been colonized by the highly competitive invasive bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum), which inhabits naturally regenerated and

Respuesta de los escarabajos carroñeros Nicrophorus olidus y Oxelytrum discicolle (Coleoptera: Silphidae) a la restauración activa y pasiva en un paisaje de bosque de niebla en México

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2023
La restauración activa y la restauración pasiva son estrategias utilizadas para recuperar paisajes forestales. Pocos estudios han evaluado la recuperación de la fauna comparando diferentes estrategias de restauración de la misma edad en un paisaje ...

Fire has short-term negative effects on a super-dominant native fern, Pteridium arachnoideum (Dennstaedtiaceae), in a Brazilian savanna

Nature Conservation Research, 2022
Although fire occurrence plays a central role in the dominance of the super-dominant bracken fern Pteridium arachnoideum in Neotropical forests, it is unclear whether this applies to the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado), which vegetation is naturally adapted to fire. We assessed fire effects on the aboveground biomass of P.

Monitoreo del crecimiento en un ensayo de restauración de matorral andino en la hoya de Loja, Ecuador.

Bosques Latitud Cero, 2023
La restauración ecológica procura restablecer las funciones ecosistémicas y gestionar los recursos naturales, por esta razón debe hacerse monitoreo para conocer la dinámica de las especies sembradas y de la vegetación que va formándose.
