Development of a portable leaf photosynthesis and volatile organic compounds emission system. [PDF]
Understanding how plant carbon metabolism responds to environmental variables such as light is central to understanding ecosystem carbon cycling and the production of food, biofuels, and biomaterials. Here, we couple a portable leaf photosynthesis system

The Vismia Vand. genus encompasses many species indigenous to the Amazon rain forest where they are popularly known as “Lacre” bark and leaves are widely employed by locals to treat dermatophytoses. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) extracted from the aerial parts of the species Vismia guianensis (

We examined the long‐term genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation on two epiphyllous bryophyte species in experimentally fragmented Amazonian forests. Using genotyping and demographic data, we found species‐specific responses and metapopulation dynamics in relation to their mating system.

A fragmentação do ambiente é intensa na amazônia matogrossense e é esperado como consequência, além do desaparecimento da vegetação original, que a flora dos fragmentos seja transicional, com elementos de floresta amazônica e de cerrado e que já ...

Plant functional constraints on foliar N:P ratios in a tropical forest landscape [PDF]
Although large scale analyses of foliar N:P ratios suggest and overall pattern of P limitation in tropical forests, analyses within the biome are less indicative of a consistent pattern of nutrient limitation.

Human disturbances have reduced the three basic niche dimensions for the survival of some mammalian species (space, time, and resources). Anthropic activities cause the extinction of ecological functionalities faster than species extinctions. In this study, we identified four types of habitats in the Ecuadorian Andean Chocó: primary forest (PF ...

Physiological responses of Vismia guianensis to contraisting light environments. [PDF]
Investigou-se por um período de 60 dias em câmara de crescimento, sob alto (800-1000 μmol m-2 s-1) e baixo (120-200 μmol m-2 s-1) regimes de luz os padrões de crescimento e distribuição de biomassa e as trocas gasosas de Vismia guianensis (Aubl.

Non‐floral scent sources of orchid bees: Observations and significance
We observed male euglossines collecting scent at 21 different non‐floral sources in Central and South America, strengthening the view that these sources play a central role in euglossine perfume biology. A Protium tree provided over 50% of the perfumes for Eufriesea corusca and was repeatedly revisited.

Tropical forests are being reduced by human activities. The use of fire for agricultural expansion generates areas dominated by the bracken fern Pteridium, where forest regeneration is slow. This may be caused by seed limitation, especially of animal‐dispersed seeds, due to the absence of seed dispersers from the forest in deforested areas, calling for
