Journal ArticleDOI
Yeast succession in the Amazon fruit Parahancornia amapa as resource partitioning among Drosophila spp.
Paula B. Morais,Marlucia Bonifacio Martins,Louis Bernard Klaczko,Leda C. Mendonça-Hagler,Allen N. Hagler +4 more
TL;DR: An increase in pH, inhibiting toxin activity and the depletion of simple sugars, may have promoted an increase in yeast diversity in the later stages of decomposition, and provided a patchy environment for the drosophilids sharing this ephemeral substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant litter dynamics in the forest-stream interface: precipitation is a major control across tropical biomes
Alan M. Tonin,Alan M. Tonin,José F. Gonçalves,Paulino Bambi,Sheyla Regina Marques Couceiro,Lorrane Aesha Malta Feitoza,Lucas Eugenio Fontana,Neusa Hamada,Luiz Ubiratan Hepp,Vânia G. Lezan-Kowalczuk,Gustavo Figueiredo Marques Leite,Aurea Luiza Lemes-Silva,Leonardo Kleba Lisboa,Rafael Chaves Loureiro,Renato Tavares Martins,Adriana O. Medeiros,Paula B.

Santos,Ana Emília Siegloch,Gabriela Tonello,Luz Boyero,Luz Boyero,Luz Boyero +31 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that litter dynamics vary greatly within the tropics, but point to the major role of precipitation, which contrasts with the main influence of temperature in temperate areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Natural Hybridization in Brazilian Wild Lineages of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Raquel Barbosa,Pedro Almeida,Silvana V. B. Safar,Renata O. Santos,Paula B. Morais,Lou Nielly-Thibault,Jean-Baptiste Leducq,Christian R. Landry,Paula Gonçalves,Carlos A. Rosa,José Paulo Sampaio +10 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that hybridization in tropical wild lineages may have facilitated the habitat transition accompanying the colonization of the tropical ecosystem, and new lineages that appear to have as closest relatives the wild populations found in North America and Japan are uncovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the consequences of such cuts on the Research Program on Biodiversity (PPBio), the largest biodiversity research network in Brazil (626 researchers, nine networks in all Brazilian biomes).
Journal ArticleDOI
The incidence of killer activity and extracellular proteases in tropical yeast communities.
TL;DR: The coexistence of sensitive and killer yeasts using the same substrate suggests that there is spatial separation in microhabitats or temporal separation in different stages of successions.
