Growth and functional leaf traits of coppice regrowth of Bertholletia excelsa during an El Niño event in the central Amazon

Acta amaz; 53 (1), 2023
The most severe drought of this century in the Amazon rainforest, which was caused by El Niño, occurred from 2015 to 2016. With a focus on the ecophysiology of the regrowth of the Brazil nut tree, Bertholletia excelsa, it was investigated how the progression of the drought of 2015-2016 affected the phys...

Impact of El Niño 2015-2016 on the coral reefs of the Pacific of Costa Rica: the potential role of marine protection

Rev. biol. trop; 68 (supl 2), 2020
Introduction: El Niño 2015-2016 was considered one of the most severe worldwide, causing the third global event of coral bleaching. Previous high-intensity El Niño events (1982-83 and 1997-98) caused high coral mortalities and deterioration of coral reef structures along the Eastern Tropical Pacific, a...

Resumo: A dinâmica de transmissão da dengue é multifatorial e envolve aspectos socioeconômicos, ecológicos e ambientais, sendo este último intimamente relacionado às condições climáticas locais que interferem no ciclo reprodutivo dos vetores da doença. Por sua vez, o clima é dependente dos me...

Seasonal variability of copepod community structure and abundance modified by the El Niño-La Niña transition (2010), Pacific, Mexico

Rev. biol. trop; 66 (4), 2018
Abstract Copepods are an important planktonic group, and account for most of the total biomass and species diversity in pelagic marine ecosystems. Seasonal variability of the community structure of copepods in the Eastern tropical Pacific off central Mexico was studied during three distinct hydrodynamic ...
