Climate-driven declines in arthropod abundance restructure a rainforest food web
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Arthropods, invertebrates including insects that have external skeletons, are declining at an alarming rate. While the tropics harbor the majority of arthropod species, little is known about trends in their abundance.

Drought Sensitivity of the Amazon Rainforest [PDF]
Science, 2009 Amazon forests are a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. If, as anticipated, they dry this century, they might accelerate climate change through carbon losses and changed surface energy balances.

Pronounced loss of Amazon rainforest resilience since the early 2000s
Nature Climate Change, 2021 The resilience of the Amazon rainforest to climate and land-use change is crucial for biodiversity, regional climate and the global carbon cycle. Deforestation and climate change, via increasing dry-season length and drought frequency, may already have ...

Diversity, 2021 The effects of forest degradation, fragmentation, and climate change occur over long time periods, yet relatively few data are available to evaluate the long-term effects of these disturbances on tropical species occurrence.

Nature Communications, 2023 Drought can affect the capacity of soils to emit and consume biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here we show the impact of prolonged drought followed by rewetting and recovery on soil VOC fluxes in an experimental rainforest.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance The Amazon rainforest is among the Earth’s climate tipping elements. Under ongoing global warming, the frequency of severe droughts such as in 2005 and 2010 is projected to increase strongly, up to the point where these droughts may become ...

A Survey of Current Resources to Study lncRNA-Protein Interactions
Non-Coding RNA, 2021 Phenotypes are driven by regulated gene expression, which in turn are mediated by complex interactions between diverse biological molecules. Protein–DNA interactions such as histone and transcription factor binding are well studied, along with RNA–RNA ...
