HiDaFernPT: Historical data of spore availability for 121 fern and lycopod taxa...
Timóteo, Sérgio; Heleno, Ruben; Covelo, Filipe Manuel Ferreira Rodrigues; Santos, Joaquim; Lopes, Pedro; Carmo Gouveia, António; Matos, ArménioSpecies phenology is being altered by ongoing climate changes with yet underappreciated consequences for ecological processes and ecosystem stability. Contrary to what happens with some key life events of flowering plants, comparatively little information exists about fern and lycophyte phenology and how it is affected by the current climatic changes. In part, this stems from the lack of long-term datasets. Her...
O armário: Fruiting phenology data for 4,462 plant taxa in Portugal (1926-2013)
Heleno, Ruben; Costa, Jose M.; Covelo, Filipe Manuel Ferreira Rodrigues; Santos, Joaquim; Lopes, Pedro; Gouveia, António C; Matos, ArménioSpecies phenology - the timing of key life events - is being altered by ongoing climate changes with yet underappreciated consequences for ecosystem stability. While flowering is generally occurring earlier, we know much less about other key processes such as the time of fruit ripening, largely due to the lack of comprehensive long-term datasets. Here we provide information on the exact date and site where seed...
Evidence of a European seed dispersal crisis
Mendes, Sara Beatriz; Olesen, Jens Mogens; Memmott, Jane; Costa, José Miguel; Timóteo, Sérgio; Dengucho, Ana Laura; Craveiro, Leonardo; Heleno, RubenSeed dispersal is crucial for ecosystem persistence, especially in fragmented landscapes, such as those common in Europe. Ongoing defaunation might compromise effective seed dispersal, but the conservation status of pairwise interactions remains unknown. With a literature review, we reconstructed the first European-wide seed dispersal network and evaluated the conservation status of interactions by assessing ea...
