Water availability is the main climate driver of neotropical tree growth. by Fabien Wagner, Vivien Rossi, Clément Stahl, Damien Bonal, Bruno Hérault

“…Here, we test the extent to which climate variables related to water regime, temperature and irradiance shape the growth trajectories of neotropical trees. • We developed a diameter growth model explicitly designed to work with asynchronous climate and growth data. …”

<b>Interference of weeds on seedlings of four neotropical tree species by Patricia Andrea Monquero, Izabela Orzari, Paulo Vinicius da Silva, Alessandra dos Santos Penha

“…The purpose of this study was to determine if there were specific densities of the weeds Urochloa decumbens and Ipomoea grandifolia at which the growth of seedlings of four Neotropical tree species – Senegalia polyphylla and Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Fabaceae) and Ceiba speciosa and Luehea divaricata (Malvaceae) – would be negatively affected. …”

Evidence for Widespread Associations between Neotropical Hymenopteran Insects and Actinobacteria by Bernal Matarrita-Carranza, Bernal Matarrita-Carranza, Rolando D. Moreira-Soto, Rolando D. Moreira-Soto, Catalina Murillo-Cruz, Marielos Mora, Cameron R. Currie, Adrián A. Pinto-Tomas, Adrián A. Pinto-Tomas, Adrián A. Pinto-Tomas

“…These results suggest Streptomyces Clade I is a Hymenoptera host-associated lineage spanning several new insect taxa and ranging from the American temperate to the Neotropical region. Our work thus provides important insights into the widespread distribution of Actinobacteria and hymenopteran insects associations, while also pointing at novel resources that could be targeted for the discovery of active natural products with great potential in medical and biotechnological applications.…”
