Is interlocked grain an adaptive trait for tropical tree species in rainforest? [PDF]

, 2009
Many trees in tropical rain forest exhibit interlocked grain. This phenomenon was observed, using a splitting method, on 10 trees from different genera in French Guiana. There were rather strong variations between and within trees. Different indexes were

Degradation in carbon stocks near tropical forest edges

Nature Communications, 2015
Carbon stock estimates based on land cover type are critical for informing climate change assessment and landscape management, but field and theoretical evidence indicates that forest fragmentation reduces the amount of carbon stored at forest edges ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Rhizosphere microbial community construction during the latitudinal spread of the invader Chromolaena odorata

BMC Microbiology
The colonization of alien plants in new habitats is typically facilitated by microorganisms present in the soil environment. However, the diversity and structure of the archaeal, bacterial, and fungal communities in the latitudinal spread of alien plants

Soil seed banks along elevational gradients in tropical, subtropical and subalpine forests in Yunnan Province, southwest China

Plant Diversity, 2017
Soil seed banks are a vital part of ecosystems and influence community dynamics and regeneration. Although soil seed banks in different habitats have been reported, how soil seed banks vary with elevational gradients in different climatic zones is still ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Assessment of forest degradation in the Amazon using multi-sensors techniques: the case of Paragominas (Brazil). O-2215-01 [PDF]

, 2015
The Amazonian pioneer front region is a mosaic of different forests types and agricultural landscapes resulting from the colonization of the region through forest conversion into pasture and agricultural lands.

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Shading and Water Addition Alleviate the Elemental Limitations of the Early Restoration Community in a Stressful Environment

Plants
Shading and water addition are essential management measures to improve seed germination and early seedling survival; however, little is known about their effects on leaf stoichiometry and nutrient status. We established 90 plant communities with shading
