Cranial ecomorphology of turtles and neck retraction as a possible trigger of ecological diversification

open access: yesEvolution, Volume 76, Issue 11, Page 2566-2586, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Turtles have a highly modified body plan, including a rigid shell that constrains postcranial anatomy. Skull morphology and neck mobility may therefore be key to ecological specialization in turtles. However, the ecological signal of turtle skull morphologies has not been rigorously evaluated, leaving uncertainties about the roles of ...

Why forest fails to recover after repeated wildfires in Amazonian floodplains? Experimental evidence on tree recruitment limitation

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 10, Page 3473-3486, October 2021., 2021
Our experimental evidence suggests that soil nutrient limitations may slow down forest recovery after repeated wildfires in Amazonian floodplains. Yet, because floodplain trees are able to germinate from seeds and establish successfully in twice burnt forests, seed limitation seems to be the reason why forest recovery fails persistently. Seeding native
