    • Canga Renatae, A New Genus and Species of Cyphophthalmi from Brazilian Amazon Caves (Opiliones: Neogoveidae) 

      DaSilva, Marcio Bernardino; Pinto-da-Rocha, Ricardo; Giribet, Gonzalo (Magnolia Press, 2010)
      A new genus and species of Cyphophthalmi, Canga renatae gen. nov., sp. nov., is described in the family Neogoveidae from a system of caves in the Serra de Carajás, Pará State, Brazil. Canga can be easily distinguished from ...
    • Multilocus Species Trees Show the Recent Adaptive Radiation of the Mimetic Heliconius Butterflies 

      Kozak, Krzysztof M.; Wahlberg, Niklas; Neild, Andrew F. E.; Dasmahapatra, Kanchon K.; Mallet, James; Jiggins, Chris D. (Oxford University Press, 2015)
      Müllerian mimicry among Neotropical Heliconiini butterflies is an excellent example of natural selection, associated with the diversification of a large continental-scale radiation. Some of the processes driving the evolution ...
    • Patterns of Water and Heat Flux Across a Biome Gradient From Tropical Forest to Savanna in Brazil 

      Wofsy, Steven; Maia, Jair F.; Aguiar, Renata G.; von Randow, Celso; Freitas, Helber C.; Kruijt, Bart; Nobre, Antonio D.; Cardoso, Fernando L.; Nogueira, José S.; Vourlitis, George; Artaxo, P.; Borma, Laura S.; Coupe, Natalia R.; Saleska, Scott R.; Goulden, Michael L.; Miller, Scott D.; Cabral, Osvaldo M.; Manzi, Antonio O.; da Rocha, Humberto R. (American Geophysical Union, 2009)
      We investigated the seasonal patterns of water vapor and sensible heat flux along a tropical biome gradient from forest to savanna. We analyzed data from a network of flux towers in Brazil that were operated within the ...
    • Towards Quantifying Uncertainty in Predictions of Amazon 'Dieback' 

      Moorcroft, Paul; Collins, Mat; Harris, Glen R.; Malhi, Yadvinder; Betts, Richard A.; Jones, Chris D.; Cox, Peter M.; Harris, Phil P.; Sitch, Stephen; Booth, Ben B. B.; Mercado, Lina; Fisher, Rosie A.; Huntingford, Chris (The Royal Society, 2008)
      Simulations with the Hadley Centre general circulation model (HadCM3), including carbon cycle model and forced by a 'business-as-usual' emissions scenario, predict a rapid loss of Amazonian rainforest from the middle of ...
