How well plants reproduce near their geographic range edge can determine whether distributions will shift in response to changing climate. Reproduction at the range edge can be limiting if pollinator scarcity leads to pollen limitation, or if abiotic stressors affect allocation to reproduction. For many animal-pollinated plants with expanding range...

Mangroves are unique coastal ecosystems, which have many important ecological functions, as they are a reservoir of many marine species well adapted to saline conditions and are fundamental as sites of carbon storage. Although the microbial contribution to nutrient cycling in these ecosystems has been well recognized, there is a lack of information...

Abstract Introduction: Mangroves provide environmental goods and services that mitigate climate change. Objective: To estimate the economic value of the carbon stock in the aboveground biomass of mangroves in Bahía del Tóbari (BT) and El Sargento in Sonora. Materials and methods: Field research were conducted in 2014 and 2015 in 16 plots (10 x 10 m...

Mangroves are often exposed to heavy metals that accumulate in the food chain, generate toxicity to mangrove plants and affect microbial diversity. This study determined the abundance of genes associated with resistance and tolerance to heavy metals in the rhizosphere microbiome of Avicennia germinans from a semi-arid mangrove of La Guajira-Colombi...

Trees interconnected through functional root grafts can exchange resources, but the effect of exchange on trees remains under debate. A mechanistic understanding of resource exchange via functional root grafts will help understand their ecological implications for tree water exchange for individual trees, groups of trees and forest stands. To ident...

Geographic and environmental differences have been identified as factors influencing Brazilian mangrove trees' genetic diversity. Geographically, distinct species have convergent spatial genetic structures, indicating a limited gene flow between northern and southern populations. Environmentally, genomic studies and common garden experiments have f...

The niche-centroid hypothesis states that populations that are distributed near the centroid of the species' ecological niche will have higher fitness-related attributes, such as population abundance and genetic diversity than populations near the edges of the niche. Empirical evidence based on abundance and, more recently, genetic diversity data s...

Abstract: Background and Aims: The genus Marthamyces is characterized by its orbicular to polygonal apothecia, immersed within the host tissue, erumpent from the substrate surface, by the hymenium with pruinose appearance due to the presence of small crystals on its surface and amongst the paraphyses, and by filiform, 0- to 3-septate ascospores. Me...

Background and Aims: The genus Marthamyces is characterized by its orbicular to polygonal apothecia, immersed within the host tissue, erumpent from the substrate surface, by the hymenium with pruinose appearance due to the presence of small crystals on its surface and amongst the para-physes, and by filiform, 0- to 3-septate ascospores. Members of ...

Mangrove ecosystems are estimated to have a high impact potential on the global carbon cycle because of their high organic matter content (Dittmar et al., 2006), and consequently a significant importance in CO2 flow as the greenhouse gas with the greatest impact on global warming (Benavides and León, 2007; Caballero et al., 2007; CESPA, 2013). In V...
