Global sustainability rests on a myriad of benefits provided by natural ecosystems that support human livelihoods and well-being, from biodiversity persistence to climate regulation. The undeniable importance conserving tropical forests has drawn most the conservation spotlight towards it. However, open such as Brazilian Campo Rupestre (rupestrian grassland), have been historically overlooked despite their high diversity key associated ecosystem services. We highlight major current threats...
Advancing functional ecology depends fundamentally on the availability of data reproductive traits, including those from tropical plants, which have been historically underrepresented in global trait databases. Although some valuable databases created recently, they are mainly restricted to temperate areas and vegetative traits such as leaf wood traits. Here, we present Rock n' Seeds, a database seed germination experiments Brazilian rock outcrop vegetation, recognized outstanding centers...
Plant individuals within a population differ in their phenology and interactions with pollinators. However, it is still unknown how individual differences affect the reproductive success of plants that have functionally specialized pollination systems. Here, we evaluated whether plant specialization (temporal specialization) (pollinator crepuscular-bee-pollinated Trembleya laniflora (Melastomataceae).We quantified flowering activity (amplitude, duration overlap), plant-pollinator (number...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Most bird‐dispersed fruits are green when unripe and become colored conspicuous ripe, signaling that ready to be consumed dispersed. The color pattern for of Miconia albicans (Melastomataceae), however, is the opposite, with reddish ripe fruits. We (1) verified maintenance over time its bicolored display, (2) tested communicative function fruits, (3) photoprotective role anthocyanins in (4) whether can assimilate carbon. METHODS: Using a paired experiment, we detection...
The huge amount of multivariate temporal data that has been produced in several applications demands the creation appropriate tools for analysis and pattern characterization change. This paper introduces a novel image-based representation, named Change Frequency Heatmap (CFH), to encode changes numerical data. method computes histograms change patterns observed at successive timestamps. We validate use CFHs through tool support complex plant phenology analysis, concerning life cycle multiple...
Em fêmeas bovinas, a liberação de prostaglandina F2α (PGF2α) é induzida in vivo pelo estradiol (E2). Acredita-se que o E2 estimule síntese proteínas essenciais na produção PGF2α. Objetivou-se avaliar efeito do no incremento da concentração totais e modificação composição proteica em explantes endometriais bovinas tratadas com 17º dia ciclo estral. Novilhas cruzadas foram estral, via intravenosa, 0 mg (Grupo Controle; n = 6) ou 3 E2; abatidas duas horas após. Explantes isolados, submetidos à...
Premise of research. Intraspecific differences in plant reproductive traits affect ecological interactions at the population level, leading to evolutionary shifts. Abiotic and biotic factors exert strong selective pressures on functional traits, such as phenology, affecting success thereby fitness. Here we evaluated occurrence intraspecific variation ecology among three naturally isolated populations Microlicia laniflora, a narrow-endemic shrub from Brazilian campo rupestre. We asked (i) do...
