TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current knowledge of the ecology and management implications associated to tropical dry forest succession is presented, focusing on the use of chronosequences, plant diversity and composition, plant phenology and remote sensing, pollination, and animal-plant interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size does matter: variation in herbivory between and within plants and the plant vigor hypothesis
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the effects of plant vigor on insect herbivore abundance and survivorship by reviewing 71 published articles that explicitly tested the PVH and enabled 161 independent comparisons has shown a strong herbivores preference for more vigorous plants, although the results do not support a preferenceperformance linkage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marco Antonio Alves Carneiro,Cristina Alves Branco,Carlos E. Duarte Braga,Emmanuel Duarte Almada,Marina Batista Morais Costa,Valéria Cid Maia,Geraldo Wilson Fernandes +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that gall morphotypes associated with information on the host plant species and attacked organs are reliable surrogates of the gall-inducing species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mosaic of habitats in the high-altitude Brazilian rupestrian fields is a hotspot for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Fernanda de Carvalho,Francisco Adriano de Souza,Rosilaine Carrenho,Fatima Maria de Souza Moreira,Ederson da Conceição Jesus,Geraldo Wilson Fernandes +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the occurrence and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species and evaluated their relationship with soil physicochemical attributes and plant diversity in different habitats of the rupestrian fields from Serra do Cipo, Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
