Spatial distribution and functional significance of leaf lamina shape in Amazon...
Malhado, Ana Cláudia Mendes; Whittaker, Robert J.; Malhi, Yadvinder Singh; Ladle, Richard James; ter Steege, H.; Butt, Nathalie; Aragao, L. E.O.C.Leaves in tropical forests come in an enormous variety of sizes and shapes, each of which can be ultimately viewed as an adaptation to the complex problem of optimising the capture of light for photosynthesis. However, the fact that many different shape "strategies" coexist within a habitat demonstrate that there are many other intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved, such as the differential investment in sup...

Spatial trends in leaf size of amazonian rainforest trees
Malhado, Ana Cláudia Mendes; Malhi, Yadvinder Singh; Whittaker, Robert J.; Ladle, Richard James; ter Steege, H.; Phillips, Oliver L.; Butt, NathalieLeaf size influences many aspects of tree function such as rates of transpiration and photosynthesis and, consequently, often varies in a predictable way in response to environmental gradients. The recent development of pan-Amazonian databases based on permanent botanical plots has now made it possible to assess trends in leaf size across environmental gradients in Amazonia. Previous plot-based studies have sho...
Genetic improvement and population structure of the Nelore breed in Northern Br...
Malhado, Ana Claudia Mendes; Malhado, Carlos Henrique Mendes; Carneiro, Paulo Luiz Souza; Martins Filho, Raimundo; Bozzi, Riccardo; Ladle, Richard JamesO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a estrutura populacional e o progresso genético e fenotípico da raça Nelore na Região Norte do Brasil. Informações sobre o pedigree foram analisadas em animais nascidos entre 1942 e 2006. A estrutura populacional foi estimada utilizando-se o programa Endog. Dos 140.628 animais avaliados, 67,7% dos pais, 14,52% dos avós e 3,18% dos bisavós eram conhecidos. O coeficiente de p...
