A new species and two new records of oomycetes causing downy mildew on Asteraceae in BrazilNARA Subscribed
Species in the Asteraceae , either cultivated or wild, are strongly affected by downy mildews. Despite its importance, the broad species concept used for decades and the lack of molecular data for the genera Plasmopara and Bremia have obscured the true diversity and distribution of downy mildew-causing species in Asteraceae . Given the great relevance of downy mildew-causing oomycetes in Asteraceae , the objective of this stud...
This study investigated whether the genus Luffa could act as a sporulation inducer for Macrophomina euphorbiicola , with the aim of providing a morphological description and proposing a taxonomic amendment for the species. In a greenhouse, Luffa cylindrica was inoculated with M. euphorbiicola to induce the formation of pycnidia and conidia. Previously, M. euphorbiicola had been described only using molecular methods. Eighty da...
Physiological and Proteomic Shifts in Pfaffia glomerata Under Drought and Elevated CO₂NARA Subscribed
Drought is a major constraint to plant growth and productivity, and rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are expected to modify plant responses to water limitation. However, how CO₂ enrichment reshapes the physiological, metabolic, and molecular regulation of specialized metabolite production under drought remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the combined effects of elevated CO₂ (e[CO₂]) and drought on plant morph...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
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 edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large‐scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distri...
Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlatesNARA Subscribed
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 hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser‐availability hypothesis) and/or the availability of resources for constructing zoocho...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used as bioindicators of the ecological impact of land use. We gathered information of ant species in the Atlantic Forest of South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which...
