Leaf morphology, rather than plant water status, underlies genetic variation of rice leaf rolling under drought
Publicado 2019“…The relatively subtle variation across these large diversity panels may explain the lack of agreement of this study with earlier reports that used small numbers of genotypes that were highly divergent in hydraulic traits driving leaf rolling differences. …”

Agricultural intensification alters bat assemblage composition and abundance in a dynamic Neotropical landscape
Publicado 2016“…We identified landscape metrics specifically correlated with pineapple and used multiple linear regression to test their effects on bat species richness, diversity, and guildspecific relative abundance. Results suggest pineapple expansion is driving changes in assemblage composition in remnant forest patches, resulting in new assemblages with higher proportions of frugivorous bats and lower proportions of insectivorous bats than in continuous mature forests. …”
