1. Digital elevation modeling through forests: the challenge of the Amazon
RESUMO O mapeamento da elevação ao nível do solo é um desafio em áreas florestadas como a região amazônica, coberta principalmente por floresta tropical densa. As técnicas mais comuns, i.e., a fotogrametria e o radar de comprimento de onda curto, fornecem elevações ao nível do dossel na melhor das hipóteses, enquanto a maioria das aplicações re

2. 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

3. Environmental factors affect population structure of tree ferns in the Brazilian subtropical Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Tree ferns are important elements of tropical forests, mainly because they are common and provide microhabitats for epiphytic plants. Due to their ecological importance, the aim of this study was to evaluate population structure, distribution, and influence of environmental variables on tree ferns in the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. All

4. 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

5. Trade-off in plant-ant interactions: seasonal variations
Resumo Este trabalho avaliou o efeito da sazonalidade sobre a interação planta-formiga em uma Floresta Tropical Sazonal Seca, utilizando como modelo ecológico a espécie Ipomoea carnea subs. fistulosa (Convolvulaceae). Realizamos coleta sistemática de formigas, herbívoros e folhas em plantas marcadas, avaliamos a eficiência de captura de herbívoros pe

6. AUTOMATED INDIVIDUAL TREE DETECTION IN AMAZON TROPICAL FOREST FROM AIRBORNE LASER SCANNING DATA
ABSTRACT Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) derived individual tree crown attributes can potentially serve as a tool for ecology and forest dynamics studies and reduce field inventory costs. In this study, four methods of individual tree detection (ITD), Watershed, Silva et al. (2016), Dalponte and Coomes (2016), and Coomes et al. (2017), were evaluated in

7. Efectos del fuego en el arbolado de un bosque tropical de pino y en el de una selva baja caducifolia en Villaflores, Chiapas
Abstract It is expected an increase of forest fires world-wide because of global warming. So is important the study of fire ecology and fire effects in different ecosystems. In Villaflores, Chiapas, Mexico, are conducted efforts towards the integral fire management. There was studied a Pinus oocarpa Schiede forest, as well as a tropical dry forest, affected

8. The challenge of restoring tropical freshwater ecosystems
Resumo Vivemos um processo mundial crescente de degradação das bases de sustentação da vida. No Brasil esta ameaça se intensifica pela fragilização crescente das estruturas de proteção ambiental. A restauração ecológica é uma alternativa para enfrentar a degradação dos ambientes aquáticos. Ela tem sido empregada em maior escala nas regiões d

9. Floristic structure and composition of Guadua forests in the Colombian coffee region1
RESUMO Na região cafeeira (900-2.000 m de altitude) dos Andes colombianos, os remanescentes florestais correspondem, principalmente, a fragmentos dominados pela espécie de bambu Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua). Essas florestas altamente fragmentadas são encontradas em paisagens com alto grau de transformação devido à atividade agrícola e à expans�

10. Biomonitoring of Heavy Metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Cd and Cr) in Oysters: Crassostrea rhizophorae of Mangrove Areas of Alagoas (Brazil)
Abstract Mangroves are tropical and subtropical flooded forests that generally develop in estuarine areas over unstable sediments protected from the action of waves in the intertidal zone with an environment characterized by a great diversity of fauna and flora. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the levels of heavy metals that are absorbed by mangrov

11. An autochthonous case of paracoccidioidomycosis in a new area of Ceara State, Northeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT The largest endemic areas of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) in Brazil comprise the humid agricultural regions of the Southeast, South, and, recently, the Midwest and North regions. The Ceara State, located in the Brazilian Northeast region, presents semi-arid climate in most of its territory, characterized by high temperatures, scarce vegetation and l
