Meteorological ApplicationsHigh spatio‐temporal variability is a characteristic of extreme rainfall. In mountainous regions like the Tropical Andes, where intricate orography and mesoscale atmospheric dynamics greatly impact rainfall systems, this particularly holds for mountain ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The spread of invasive macrophyte species is a pressing threat to neotropical shallow lakes. Yet there are few studies addressing the full extent of biotic and abiotic changes that may occur in response to invasive species.

Manual of tropical bryology [PDF]
, 2003 Bryophytes belong to the oldest land plants. They existed already in the Palaeozoic 300 mio years ago in forms which were hardly different from the extant species. They remained relatively unchanged with relatively low evolution rates (and are thus often

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

The origin and distribution of neotropical species of Campylopus [PDF]
, 1990 Of the 65 species of Campylopus known from tropical America, 33 are andine in distribution, 16 are found only in SE Brazil, 8 have wide ranges through Central and South America, 3 species are disjunct in SE-North America and Brazil, 3 are confined to the

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Passiflora clypeophylla, an endemic species to the Guatemalan karstic forests last seen in 1889 and deemed extinct, was rediscovered in the Department of Alta Verapaz, east of Cobán. The species was known only from a single specimen hailed from the type locality, Rubel Cruz, where it has been found again. An additional location has been identified in a

Oikos, EarlyView.Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

A whole-ecosystem experiment reveals flow-induced shifts in a stream community
Communications Biology, 2022 Experimental stream manipulation in a mountain river system in the tropical Andes initiates a regime shift of benthic cyanobacteria. This whole-ecosystem experiment in conjunction with a global synthesis reveal regime shift tipping points dependent upon ...
