1. Macrophyte functional composition is stable across a strong environmental gradient of a Neotropical floodplain
ABSTRACT Ecological communities are compared by the similarity or distinctness of their species. Taking into account community composition at a determined site, one could expect a similar reasoning to explain differences in both taxonomic and functional composition due to environmental gradients. We aim to evaluate spatial variation in functional composition

2. THE EFFECT OF ALTITUDE ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF TROJAN FIR (Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani [Asch. & Sint. ex Boiss] Coode & Cullen) SAPLINGS
ABSTRACT The altitude is an important factor to affect the growth and development of saplings of the tree. However, the effect of altitude on the growth and properties of wood during their young stage it has been little studied. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the influence of two different altitude steps: 795 m (a.s.l. low-altitude) and 1350 m (a.s

3. Colonization-related functional traits of plants in a 50-hectare plot of secondary tropical forest
ABSTRACT The growth-survival trade-off hypothesis states that functional traits of stem, wood, leaves and fruits govern acquisitive and conservative strategies of plant species that grow/survive differently in forests. We aimed to determine whether heterogeneity during the colonization of a secondary Atlantic Forest fragment causes differences in colonizatio

4. Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest
ABSTRACT Though they comprise 1 % of plant species on the planet, plant parasites are poorly known. They have been considered a threat to cultivated plants and to the conservation of host species in natural areas. Due to the complex interactions they have with their hosts, understanding their biology is fundamental to the development of conservation strategi

5. Functional patterns of tree communities in natural Araucaria forests and old monoculture conifer plantations
ABSTRACT A functional perspective of tree communities is helpful for understanding forest dynamics, especially vegetation recovery after other land uses. Knowledge about ecological filters and survival strategies of trees are also important for the restoration of degraded areas. This study aimed to evaluate the functional composition and structure of adult a

6. Floral biology, pollination requirements and behavior of floral visitors in two species of pitaya
RESUMO O presente trabalho objetivou estudar a biologia floral, os requerimentos de polinização e o comportamento de visitantes florais em duas espécies de pitaia, Hylocereus undatus e H. polyrhizus no Nordeste do Brasil. O experimento foi conduzido com observações diurnas e noturnas e pelo uso de flores ensacadas ou acessíveis aos visitantes. Os resul

7. ESTUDO DESCRITIVO E MORFOMÉTRICO DO CRÂNIO DO Ramphastos toco (AVES: PICIFORMES)
Resumo O estudo de caracteres morfológicos e suas funções biomecânicas na estrutura craniana das aves levanta debates de cunho filogenético, taxonômico e morfofuncional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever e analisar caracteres morfológicos e morfométricos do esqueleto do Ramphastos toco e confrontá-los com a bibliografia disponível. Foram anal

9. Environmental structure affects taxonomic diversity but not functional structure of understory birds in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon
RESUMO Mudanças nas características ambientais podem influenciar o uso do habitat por aves, afetando o número de indivíduos, a riqueza de espécies e alterando a composição de espécies e estrutura funcional das assembleias. Medidas que avaliam a estrutura funcional de assembléias biológicas constituem uma ferramenta complementar à abordagem taxonô

10. Influences of the area, shape and connectivity of coastal lakes on the taxonomic and functional diversity of fish communities in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACT In this study we investigated the influence of landscape variables on the alpha taxonomic and functional diversity of fish communities in coastal lakes. We built an analytical framework that included possible causal connections among variables, which we analyzed using path analysis. We obtained landscape metrics for the area, shape and connectivity

11. Composition and Functional Diversity of the Urban Flora of Alfenas-MG, Brazil
ABSTRACT Urban tree cover has important environmental and social functions and can act as ecological refuges. The objective of the present study was to investigate the taxonomic and functional diversities of urban plant communities in Alfenas, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. We sampled all trees DBH ≥ 3 cm in eight different urban green areas, recording 1,138

12. Analysis of selective potato varieties and their functional assessment
Abstract The number of attributes, related to the selection of potato varieties, was evaluated with reference to their potential in chip processing. Five commercial varieties of potato were analyzed regarding their physico-chemical, functional, and processing aspects. In general, Lady Rosetta subsequently, Chipsona were the most noticeable potato varieties
