A neighbourhood plant richness increases reproductive success. Abstract The attraction of floral visitors depends on intrinsic plant traits and the surrounding floral abundance and diversity. Therefore, it is important to consider the conspecific and heterospecific co‐flowering context to understand plant–pollinator interactions and, consequently ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Cerrado: An Overview of Scientific Production, Trends, and Gaps [PDF]
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophic fungi from the Glomeromycota phylum, closely related to plant biomass. However, little is known about these fungi since they live below ground, especially in threatened and important areas like ...

Changes in Vegetation Cover and Their Effects on the Diversity of Fruit‐Feeding Butterflies
We used fruit‐feeding butterfly diversity as a bioindicator of deforestation for implementing pastures in Brazilian tropical dry forests. A total of 1091 individuals belonging to 35 species of the Nymphalidae family were sampled. Changes in land cover and tree density were important factors in explaining butterfly diversity.

Blechnum heringeri Brade is an endemic species from Brazil previously considered vulnerable. Until recently, there was a very limited number of records for this species, all from the Cerrado Phytogeographical Domain in central Brazil.

Complex temporal dynamics of insect metacommunities along a tropical elevational gradient
Unraveling the spatiotemporal dynamics of communities is critical to understand how biodiversity responds to global changes. However, this task is not trivial, as these dynamics are quite complex, and most studies are limited to few taxa at small local and temporal scales.

The Importance of Fluctuating Asymmetry as an Indicator of Environmental Stress: Wing Morphological Responses of Euglossa melanotricha to an Altitudinal Gradient [PDF]
Abrupt abiotic changes in mountain ecosystems act as environmental filters, influencing the phenotypic expressions of numerous organisms. On the other hand, these responses along altitude gradients for native species are little understood.

Abstract The South American Dry Diagonal, also called the Diagonal of Open Formations, is a large region of seasonally dry vegetation extending from northeastern Brazil to northern Argentina, comprising the Caatinga, Cerrado, and Chaco subregions. A growing body of phylogeography literature has determined that a complex history of climatic changes ...

Bukholderia strains promote Mimosa spp. growth but not Macroptilium atropurpureum
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship and symbiotic efficiency of 14 strains of Burkholderia isolated from rupestrian grasslands, using M. atropurpureum and Mimosa tenuiflora as trap plants, with the species M.

The complex plant commnities of the campo rupestre habitats untalgled by trait-based approach [PDF]
Old, climatic buffered and infertile landscapes (OCBILs) are remarkably species-diverse habitats, and the structuring of their ecological communities is scarcely known.
