Climate dipoles as continental drivers of plant and animal populations
Ecological processes, such as migration and phenology, are strongly influenced by climate
variability. Studying these processes often relies on associating observations of animals and …

A 1.8 million year history of Amazon vegetation
During the Pleistocene, long-term trends in global climate were controlled by orbital cycles
leading to high amplitude glacial-interglacial variability. The history of Amazonian vegetation …

Hydraulic variability of tropical forests is largely independent of water availability
Tropical rainforest woody plants have been thought to have uniformly low resistance to
hydraulic failure and to function near the edge of their hydraulic safety margin (HSM) …

Hydraulic traits are not robust predictors of tree species stem growth during a severe drought in a wet tropical forest
CM Smith‐Martin, R Muscarella… - Functional …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Severe droughts have led to lower plant growth and high mortality in many ecosystems
worldwide, including tropical forests. Drought vulnerability differs among species, but there …

The dynamics of introgression across an avian radiation
Hybridization and resulting introgression can play both a destructive and a creative role in
the evolution of diversity. Thus, characterizing when and where introgression is most likely to …

The challenges and potential of geogenomics for biogeography and conservation in Amazonia
Amazonia has a very high, although still incompletely known, species diversity distributed
over a mosaic of heterogeneous habitats that are also poorly characterized. As a result of …

Brazilian biomes distribution: Past and future
Abstract The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 26.5–19 ka) was marked by atmospheric cooling,
in contrast to the current warming climate, which will probably continue in the coming …

Implications of headwater contact zones for the riverine barrier hypothesis: a case study of the Blue-capped Manakin (Lepidothrix coronata)
Rivers frequently delimit the geographic ranges of species in the Amazon Basin. These
rivers also define the boundaries between genetic clusters within many species, yet river …
