3D pollination biology using micro‐computed tomography and geometric morphometrics in Theobroma cacao

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 11, Issue 5, September-October 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise Imaging technologies that capture three‐dimensional (3D) variation in floral morphology at micro‐ and nano‐resolutions are increasingly accessible. In herkogamous flowers, such as those of Theobroma cacao, structural barriers between anthers and stigmas represent bottlenecks that restrict pollinator size and access to reproductive ...

Automated identification of diverse Neotropical pollen samples using convolutional neural networks

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 2049-2064, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Pollen is used to investigate a diverse range of ecological problems, from identifying plant–pollinator relationships to tracking flowering phenology. Pollen types are identified according to a set of distinctive morphological characters which are understood to capture taxonomic differences and phylogenetic relationships among taxa.

Broad‐ and small‐scale environmental gradients drive variation in chemical, but not morphological, leaf traits of vascular epiphytes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1858-1872, August 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Variation in leaf functional traits along environmental gradients can reveal how vascular epiphytes respond to broad‐ and small‐scale environmental gradients. Along elevational gradients, both temperature and precipitation likely play an important role as drivers of ...

The role of nutritional impairment in carbon‐water balance of silver fir drought‐induced dieback

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 14, Page 4439-4458, July 2022., 2022
Declining silver fir trees show lower foliar concentrations of essential nutrients such as P, K, Cu and Ni than non‐declining trees. This nutritional impairment exacerbates and amplifies the negative effects of drought on tree functioning and growth, considering the relationship of tree nutritional status with water‐use efficiency and growth resilience

Seasonal dietary niche contraction in coexisting Neotropical frugivorous bats (Stenodermatinae)

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 749-757, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Tropical dry forests are characterized by punctuated seasonal precipitation patterns that drive primary production and the availability of fruits, seeds, flowers, and insects throughout the year. In environments in which the quantity and quality of food resources varies seasonally, consumers should adjust their foraging behavior to maximize ...

Moth assemblages in Costa Rica rain forest mirror small‐scale topographic heterogeneity

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 288-301, March 2020., 2020
Abstract In many tropical lowland rain forests, topographic variation increases environmental heterogeneity, thus contributing to the extraordinary biodiversity of tropical lowland forests. While a growing number of studies have addressed effects of topographic differences on tropical insect communities at regional scales (e.g., along extensive ...

La variación en las unidades fraseológicas

open access: yesRevista Nebrija de Linguistica Aplicada a la Enseñanza de Lenguas, 2022
Se concibe la variación como un cambio en la forma de las unidades que no afecta al significado. El cambio da lugar a variantes de una unidad que, por no modificar el significado, constituye una invariante de contenido.
