Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense also affects tolerance to abiotic stressors. Urban-rural gradients associated with the of clines 47% throughout world. Variation strength was explained changes drought stress and vegetation cover varied...
The Neotropical region is undergoing high levels of urban expansion and harbors the greatest diversity vascular epiphytes globally. In cities, it could be expected that density woody vegetation positively predicts epiphyte communities by providing substrate, resources for pollinators, buffering microclimatic conditions. However, there a dearth knowledge regarding how urbanization intensity affects epiphytes. this study, we assessed relationship between cover gradient bromeliad species...
Microsatellite primers were developed for Orthophytum ophiuroides, a rupicolous bromeliad species endemic to neotropical rocky fields. These microsatellite loci will be used investigate population differentiation and cohesion in such fragmented environments. The tested cross-amplification related species. •Eleven polymorphic markers isolated characterized from an enriched library of O. ophiuroides. on 42 individuals two populations this number alleles per locus ranged three nine the expected...
Intensification of urbanization has been shown to be associated with taxonomic and functional modifications biological communities, leading changes in trophic interactions. These may reduce the delivery ecosystem services provided by urban ecosystems. For instance, predation on herbivorous insects is an important ecological process operating communities. Specifically, one hand, serve as food resources for many organisms, other hand pest populations vegetation. In this study, we assessed...
Abstract Studies of patterns genetic diversity, structure and ecological data across geographical ranges species allow us to test hypotheses about the evolutionary responses organisms fluctuations in habitat connectivity availability. Here we present a study aiming assess population breeding system distribution subtropical epiphyte, Tillandsia aeranthos (Bromeliaceae), endemic Plata River basin (Pampa biome). Seven nuclear microsatellite markers were genotyped 203 individuals from 13...
To reduce herbivory, plants bearing extrafloral nectaries interact with ants and attract them by providing food. As plant bodyguards, respond to the resource provision and, using their antennae, detect chemical messages from host that help locate herbivores. Ants can also use vision explore environment; however, information is lacking on how interactions between visual signs availability of nectar affect ant aggressiveness near resources. We addressed following question in this study: does...
