Author(s): MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J. N.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V. de; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J. N.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and ho... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V. de; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J. N.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated driver... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V. de; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J. N.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. In a time of rapid global change, the question of what determines patterns in species abundance distribution remains a priority for understanding the complex dynamics of ecosystems. The constrained ma... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V. de; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J. N.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Aim: To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydr... ... |
Author(s): MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; CASTILHO, C. V. de; FERREIRA, J. N.; GUEDES, M. C. Tree diversity and composition in Amazonia are known to be strongly determined by the water supplied by precipitation. Nevertheless, within the same climatic regime, water availability is modulated by... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V. de; SIMON, M. F.; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; GUEDES, M. C.; FERREIRA, J. N.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, but the estimated species richness is very much debated. Here, we apply an ensemble of parametric estimators and a novel technique that includes conspeci... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V.; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such “monodominant” forests are known from all of the main tro... ... |
Author(s): CASTILHO, C. V.; MEDEIROS, M. B.; SIMON, M. F.; RUSCHEL, A. R. Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with hist... ... |
