Com a época mais intensa de desmatamento na Amazônia se aproximando, é hora de fazer um balanço do que aconteceu na região em 2019. É hora também de colocar em curso estratégias de enfrentamento do desmatamento, que nos três primeiros meses deste ano aumentou significativamente e indica um cenário preocupante à frente. Para que as queimadas de 2019 não se repitam, é preciso que as escolhas certas sejam feitas. E agora.

Opposite latitudinal patterns for bird and arthropod predation revealed in experiments with differently colored artificial prey

The strength of biotic interactions is generally thought to increase toward the equator, but support for this hypothesis is contradictory. We explored whether predator attacks on artificial prey of eight different colors vary among climates and whether this...

Effects of partial throughfall exclusion on the phenology of Coussarea racemosa (Rubiaceae) in an east-central Amazon rainforest

Severe droughts may alter the reproductive phenology of tropical tree species, but our understanding of these effects has been hampered by confounded variation in drought, light and other factors during natural drought events. We used a large-scale experimental reduction of throughfall in an easterncentral Amazon forest to study the phenological response to drought of an abundant subcanopy tree, Coussarea racemosa. We hypothesized that drought would alter the production and the timing of reproduction, as well as the number of viable fruits.
