Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

A amostragem estratificada aprimora a compreensão das redes entre morcegos e frutos na Mata Atlântica meridional

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

RUBBER TREE MINI CLONAL GARDEN: ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY OF THE NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION IN THE PRODUCTION OF PROPAGULES

open access: yesRevista Árvore
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an important forest species that yields natural rubber. Traditionally, rubber tree grafts are cultivated in clonal gardens on soil, which necessitates enormous acreage.

The rootstock clones in rubber tree: a new varietal type toward the rejuvenated bi-clone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cloning rubber rootstocks by microcutting will remove the genetic variability of the seedling rootstocks; Moreover, it will open the way to the breeding of rootstock clones regarding main challenges as the growth-vigor of the trees, the water stress ...

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

Sugar palm (Argena pinnata). Potential of sugar palm for bio-ethanol production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The energetic and economic feasibility of bioethanol production from sugar palm is virtually unknown. A positive factor are the potentially very high yields while the long non-productive juvenile phase and the high labor needs can be seen as problematic.

Shifts in phenology influence synchrony of flowering plants and their pollinators along an elevation gradient

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.
