Influence of seasonality on the aerosol microbiome of the Amazon rainforest.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest tropical forest, and this biome may be a significant contributor to primary biological aerosol (PBA) emissions on a global scale.

Tropical rainforest conversion into rubber plantations results in changes in soil fungal composition, but underling mechanisms of community assembly remain unchanged

, 2020
Fungi play an important role in maintaining tropical forest diversity. However, little research to date has examined the effects of forest conversion (from rainforest to rubber plantation) on fungal community composition and diversity.

Age constraints on a Neogene tropical rainforest in China and its relation to the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2019
Tropical rainforests have strongly influenced Earth systems throughout their evolutionary history. Plant taxa found in the Fotan Group of Fujian Province indicate that an Asian tropical rainforest prevailed in southeastern China during the Miocene ...

Snakebites in the Rainforests of Ecuador

World Journal of Surgery, 2003
AbstractEpidemiologic information about snakebites in Ecuador is scarce. Snakebites are more common in the lowlands east of the Andes, in the Amazon basin. In the present study, a retrospective review of all (n = 142) snakebite admissions to Hospital Pio XII, a regional health center/hospital in the canton of Sucúa, Morona Santiago, Ecuador was carried

Avian Persistence in Fragmented Rainforest

Science, 2002
What factors determine the persistence of species in fragmented habitats? To address this question, we studied the relative impacts of forest deterioration and fragmentation on bird species in 12 rainforest fragments in Kenya, combining 6 years of individual capture-recapture data with measurements of current captures and museum specimens.

Subtropical Rainforests: The Yungas and the Alto Paraná Rainforest

2020
Argentina has two disjunct rainforests, with similarities and differences, which share genera and species. The exploitation of their forest resources accompanied the historical development of the regions related. The Yungas has functioned as a provider of hardwood for the domestic market, even representing the illegal logging a great portion of the ...

Fire science for rainforests

Nature, 2003
Forest fires are growing in size and frequency across the tropics. Continually eroding fragmented forest edges, they are unintended ecological disturbances that transcend deforestation to degrade vast regions of standing forest, diminishing ecosystem services and the economic potential of these natural resources.

Molecular detection of the human pathogen Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest in Amblyomma ovale ticks in Argentina.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018
Human rickettsioses caused by Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest in Brazil motivated the analysis of Amblyomma ovale ticks in Misiones province, a similar ecological region in northeastern Argentina. During 2010-2017, 393 A.
