The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2103-2114, February 2026.
Summary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...

Urban rendezvous: Spatiotemporal overlap is more important than abundance and trait matching for urban plant–pollinator interactions

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study shows that the generalized structure of urban plant–pollinator interactions is mirrored in the mechanisms that shape them, as interactions are governed primarily by less restrictive drivers such as abundance and spatiotemporal overlap rather than by trait matching.

Determinação da curva característica e a influência dos macro e microporos em um perfil de solo residual

Geotecnia, 2020
Para se compreender o comportamento dos solos não saturados uma das principais relações constitutivas utilizadas é sua curva característica. Nos solos tropicais a grande transformação pedogenética gera um elevado grau de agregação das partículas e uma ...

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Trait coordination reveals the fast–slow plant economics spectrum along the vertical canopy profile in central Amazonian forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3596-3610, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how environmental drivers affect tree functioning is essential to improve predictions of tropical forests' response to climate change. While functional traits directly influence tree performance, our understanding of how canopy environments shape their ...

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Effects of Long‐Term Nutrient Addition on Leaf Metabolites, Herbivory, and Mycorrhizal Spores Associated With a Savannah Woody Species

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Given the importance of soil conditions for ecosystem functioning, fertilisation experiments are a valuable tool for assessing how systems respond to changes in soil properties. However, the effects of changes in nutrient availability on multitrophic interactions in savannah ecosystems of the Brazilian Cerrado are still scarce. We investigated
