Background The palm family occurs in all tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
Palms are of high ecological and economical importance, and display complex spatial …

Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that
provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily …

This book explores the degree to which landscapes have been enriched with palms by
human activities and the importance of palms for the lives of people in the region today and …

Background Native Amazonian populations managed forest resources in numerous ways,
often creating oligarchic forests dominated by useful trees. The scale and spatial distribution …

We compared the reproductive and vegetative phenology and pollination ecology of
sympatric Attalea phalerata and Bactris glaucescens palms (Arecaceae) in the Pantanal …

Large‐seeded plants are especially vulnerable to the loss of seed dispersers in small forest
fragments. The palm Attalea humilis goes against this trend by reaching high abundances in …

In this study we propose a model that represents the importance of large arborescent palms
in the dynamics of seasonally-dry Amazonian forests. Specifically, the model is aimed at …

Background and Aims The underground saxophone stem systems produced by seedlings of
certain palm species show peculiar growth patterns and distinctive morphologies, although …

We assessed the short‐term effects of biotic (density, plant size) and abiotic factors (light), on
the dynamics of physiognomically different plant groups (palms, tree ferns, lianas, and trees) …

A abundância e a diversidade de espécies, bem como a relação com a estrutura da floresta
foram investigadas no Distrito Florestal Sustentável (DFS) da rodovia BR-163. Foram …
