Domestication of Peach Palm in Southwestern Amazonia
The peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is the only Neotropical palm domesticated by Native Americans. Its place of origin as a crop (B. gasipaes var. gasipaes) has been debated for more than a century, with three hypotheses currently in discussion: southwestern Amazonia; northwestern South America; or multiple origins in the distribution of the wild relatives (B. gasipaes var. chichagui). The ...

متن کاملEffects of forest management on the diversity of deadwood-inhabiting fungi in Central European forests
Land use and land use change affect deadwood amount, quality and associated biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Old growth or virgin forests, which are exceptionally rare in temperate Europe harbor more deadwood and associated fungal species than managed forests. Whether and how more recent abandonment of management, to reestablish more natural forests, affects deadwood amount and fungal diversi...
متن کاملFragmentation effects and genetic diversity of the key semidecidual forest species Metrodorea nigra in Southwestern Brazil.
Studies of genetic diversity in plant species present in the remaining fragments of the Atlantic Forest are very important for understanding their resilience to such a degraded ecosystem. We analyzed the genetic diversity of 3 populations of the high-density understory species Metrodorea nigra St. Hill. (Rutaceae) located in forest remnants in the region of Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil (M13-Rib, ...
متن کاملEffects of Natural Forest Fragmentation on a Hawaiian Spider Community
Thekipuka system, anetworkof forest fragments surroundedby lavaßowson the island of Hawaii, offers an opportunity to study the natural, long-term fragmentation of a native ecosystem. We examined the impacts of habitat edges upon the community structure of nocturnally active native spiders, primarily in the genus Tetragnatha.Wemeasured plant and spider species distributions across the edges of f...
