Taxonomic notes on Erechtites (Asteraceae: Senecioneae)

Este estudo foi realizado no âmbito do projeto PELD BISC.; This work was supported by the Brazilian Program for Biodiversity Research (PPBio) Atlantic Forest Network (CNPq 457451/2012-9) and CNPq/Capes/FAPs/ BC-Fundo Newton/PELD nº 15/2016.; In this work we present taxonomic notes for the genus Erechtites. More specifically, we present evidence for the reestablishment of E. petiolatus, a species that was hither...

Este estudo foi realizado no âmbito do projeto PELD BISC.; This work was supported by the CNPq/Capes/FAPs/BC-Fundo Newton/PELD nº 15/2016 and FAPESC/2018TR0928.; We describe a narrowly endemic new species of Delairea from the highlands of southern Brazil. It is the second species described in this previously monospecific genus that was endemic to Africa, and the first record of a native species of Delairea in t...

Convergent Adaptations: Bitter Manioc Cultivation Systems in Fertile Anthropoge...

Shifting cultivation in the humid tropics is incredibly diverse, yet research tends to focus on one type: long-fallow shifting cultivation. While it is a typical adaptation to the highly-weathered nutrient-poor soils of the Amazonian terra firme, fertile environments in the region offer opportunities for agricultural intensification. We hypothesized that Amazonian people have developed divergent bitter manioc c...

High genetic diversity among and within bitter manioc varieties cultivated in d...

Although manioc is well adapted to nutrient-poor Oxisols of Amazonia, ethnobotanical observations show that bitter manioc is also frequently cultivated in the highly fertile soils of the floodplains and Amazonian dark earths (ADE) along the middle Madeira River. Because different sets of varieties are grown in each soil type, and there are agronomic similarities between ADE and floodplain varieties, it was hypo...

ATLANTIC-CAMTRAPS: a dataset of medium and large terrestrial mammal communities...

Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:34:40Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-11-01; Our understanding of mammal ecology has always been hindered by the difficulties of observing species in closed tropical forests. Camera trapping has become a major advance for monitoring terrestrial mammals in biodiversity rich ecosystems. Here we compiled one of the largest datasets of inventories of ...

Local varieties of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze (Pinales: Araucariac...

Araucaria is an emblematic species of Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (MOF). The pinhão (the seed of araucaria) commerce is economically important to regional groups, which influences the use and management of this species. Historically, araucaria populations were manipulated by humans, who identify local varieties, characterizing the possible domestication of the species and local landscape. Thus, the goals of this ...

Chemical communication in free-ranging gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira)

Chemical communication is intensely used by deer, especially scent-marking behaviors, with territory marking mainly made by males. This work presents several video recordings of at least two gray brockets (male and female) chemically communicating via scent marks. Video recordings demonstrate multiple depositions of feces and urine by the animals, probably for the development of intrasexual interaction and, sec...
