Sugar, Gravel, Fish, and Flowers: Dependence of Mesoscale Patterns of Trade‐Wind Clouds on Environmental Conditions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Trade‐wind clouds exhibit a large diversity of spatial organizations at the mesoscale. Over the tropical western Atlantic, a recent study has visually identified four prominent mesoscale patterns of shallow convection, referred to as flowers, fish ...

Of hummingbirds and helicopters: Hovering costs, competitive ability, and foraging strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Wing morphology and flight kinematics profoundly influence foraging costs and the overall behavioral ecology of hummingbirds. By analogy with helicopters, previous energetic studies have applied the momentum theory of aircraft propellers to estimate ...

Flowers are essential to maintain high beetle diversity (Coleoptera) in a Neotropical rainforest canopy

open access: yesJournal of Natural History, 2020
Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the megadiversity of angiosperms and insects. Flowers and their pollinators represent the most common terrestrial mutualistic interaction today and this is thought to have driven the evolution of angiosperms ...

The effect of habitat fragmentation on the bee visitor assemblages of three Australian tropical rainforest tree species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Tropical forest loss and fragmentation can change bee community dynamics and potentially interrupt plant–pollinator relationships. While bee community responses to forest fragmentation have been investigated in a number of tropical regions, no studies ...

A new Australian species of Luffa (Cucurbitaceae) and typification of two Australian Cucumis names, all based on specimens collected by Ferdinand Mueller in 1856 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
As a result of his botanical explorations in northern Australia, Ferdinand von Mueller named several Cucurbitaceae that molecular data now show to be distinct, requiring their resurrection from unjustified synonymy.
