Semi-hypogeal germination in Pachyrhizus ahipa (Wedd.) parodi (Fabaceae: Phaseoleae): seedling and sapling morphology

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008
The aim of this work was to describe the morphology of seedlings and saplings of Pachyrhizus ahipa, a cultivated species of Phaseoleae (Fabaceae), analysing the seedling type and characterizing the structure of cotyledons, eophylls and metaphylls. It was

Northern bobwhites select for native grasses on working grazing land

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern bobwhites in eastern Kentucky selected for native warm‐season grasses at multiple spatial scales in an environment dominated by exotic cool‐season grass cattle forage. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands ...

The Application of the Classical Assumption Test in Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (a Case Study of the Preparation of the Allometric Equations of Young Makila)

open access: yesJTAM (Jurnal Teori dan Aplikasi Matematika)
The preparation of allometric equations generally uses multiple linear regression equations. The use of this regression equation is usually not carried out through various tests but goes directly to the t test and F test stages.

Tree species richness, diversity, and regeneration status in different oak (Quercus spp.) dominated forests of Garhwal Himalaya, India

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2016
Himalayan forests are dominated by different species of oaks (Quercus spp.) at different altitudes. These oaks are intimately linked with hill agriculture as they protect soil fertility, watershed, and local biodiversity. They also play an important role

What drives grassland‐forest boundaries? Assessing fire and frost effects on tree seedling survival and architecture

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Fire and frost represent two major hurdles for the persistence of trees in open grassy biomes and have both been proposed as drivers of grassland‐forest boundaries in Africa.

Seed co‐occurrence caused by shared frugivores leaves a long‐lasting signal in the spatial co‐occurrence among plants

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
By dispersing seeds, frugivorous animals affect spatial co‐occurrence of plants, ultimately influencing plant community dynamics. Frugivorous animals are intrinsically involved in plant community dynamics, by dispersing seeds of fleshy‐fruited plants and influencing their spatial co‐occurrence.

Demography of evergreen and deciduous oaks in a mixed oak savanna: insights from a long‐term experiment

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
The co‐existence of evergreen and deciduous oaks in Mediterranean‐climate savannas has motivated comparative studies on species’ physiological adaptations to light and drought, establishment niche differences in acorn production, dispersal and seedling ...

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Allometric scaling models for tree saplings: Assessing potential fodder for ungulate herbivores

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People, 2023
Knowledge of the quantity of twig dry mass (available fodder) of saplings is crucial for understanding tree recruitment under wild ungulate browsing pressure in forest ecosystems. Therefore, this study aimed to develop allometric equations for estimating

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...
