We review resilience to natural and anthropogenic disturbance of palm populations and
communities in tropical America. Response of palms to disturbance depends on their …

Little is known about the interactive effects of multiple forms of disturbance–natural or
anthropogenic–on plant population dynamics. This limits our ability to understand the drivers …

How have animals evolved new body designs (morphological evolution)? This requires
explanations both for simple morphological changes, such as differences in pigmentation …

Perennial plants often endure chronic loss of leaf area due to recurrent physical damage,
herbivory and, for species used as non‐timber forest products, due to leaf harvesting …

Understanding the factors that determine species' range limits is a key issue in ecology, and
is fundamental for biodiversity conservation under widespread global environmental …

Species endemic to mountains on oceanic islands are subject to a number of existing
threats (in particular, invasive species) along with the impacts of a rapidly changing climate …

O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar, classificar e descrever os indivíduos de três espécies
