Na restauração de ambientes degradados, estas espécies podem afetar profundamente a trajetória do recobrimento vegetal pelas espécies nativas e, conseqüentemente, a composição do ecossistema. Um fator importante para o sucesso de algumas espécies vegetais invasoras é a plasticidade fenotípica, dandolhes grande capacidade de aclimatação em diversas condições ambientais. O conhecimento dos fatores ambientais e das características da planta que contribuem para o sucesso das espécies invasoras é de grande importância para predizer a habilidade de invasão e para esforços de manejo. Neste contexto, o objetivo principal deste estudo foi conhecer algumas características fisiológicas e ecológicas de Clausena excavata Burm. f., uma espécie de árvore exótica reconhecida como invasora em algumas regiões no mundo, no intuito de compreender o sucesso da espécie como invasora e contribuir com informações relevantes para possíveis tentativas de controle. Primeiramente, foram avaliados os efeitos da luz e da temperatura em sua germinação (condição controlada) e o efeito da luz na emergência de suas plântulas (condição natural, a pleno sol e sob a copa das árvores). As sementes germinaram tanto na presença como na ausência de luz, nas temperaturas de 20 a 35°C, sem diferença entre a porcentagem de sementes germinadas nas diferentes temperaturas. Sementes mantidas a 20°C, em ambas as condições de luz, germinaram mais lentamente em relação às demais temperaturas. Independente da temperatura, na presença de luz as sementes apresentaram uma germinação muito mais sincronizada do que aquelas mantidas no escuro. Tais resultados mostraram que as sementes de C. excavata são fotoblásticas neutra. Em campo, a emergência... / The invasive species are recognized one of more important and difficult factors that prejudice the conservation of native ecosystems. In the restoration of degraded environment, these species can to affect profoundly the trajectory of recovery by native species and, therefore, the ecosystems composition. An important factor to the success of invasive species is their phenotypic plasticity, which gives them a great ability to adjust in several environmental conditions. The knowledge of environmental factors and plant characteristics that contribute to the success of invasive species is very important to predict the invasion capacity and to manage efforts. In this context, the main objective of this study was to know some physiological and ecological characteristics of Clausena excavata Burm. f., a nonnative tree species recognized as invasive somewhere of the world, with intention to understand the success of this species as invasive and to contribute with relevant informations for a possible management. At first, were evaluated the effects of light and temperature on their seeds germination (controlled condition) and the effect of light on seedling emergence (natural condition, at full sun and shade). The seeds germinated in presence and absence of light, from 20 to 35°C, without difference among the germination percentage at different temperatures. Seeds maintained in 20°C, at both light conditions, germinated slowly than others temperatures. Independent of temperature, in light the seeds showed a germination more synchronized than the seeds kept in darkness. Those results showed that C. excavata have neuter photoblasics seeds. On the field, the emergence occurred at both environments, but at full sun all seeds produced a seedling. The seedling emergence occurred with same rate and synchronization index on two tested conditions. Thereafter, the seedlings were observed with purpose...

The Role of Nursery Size and Plant Phenology on the Reproduction of and Relationships within a Fig-fig Wasp Nursery Pollination SystemKrishnan, Anusha January 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Obligate nursery pollination mutualisms such as the fig–fig wasp system, with their central plant–pollinator mutualism associated with non-pollinating satellite wasp species, can function as closed system microcosms representative of tritrophic communities. In this system, enclosed inflorescences (syconia) function as sites of seed production, as well as brood-sites for the progeny of herbivorous mutualistic pollinators, non-pollinating gallers and parasitoids of the two. Plant reproductive traits such as inflorescence size (syconium volume) and within-plant phenology (within-tree asynchrony) as can affect inter-species relationships among the three trophic levels in such plant–herbivore–parasitoid systems. Induced or natural variations in such plant traits could influence various direct and indirect effects among the organisms in the community and could even lead to the formation of feedback cycles. Furthermore, changes in the abiotic environment could have major impacts on the biotic associations in the system either by affecting the community members directly, or through their effects on plant reproductive traits. Ficus racemosa with its fig wasp community comprised of a single herbivorous pollinator mutualist, three non-pollinating parasitic gallers and three non-pollinating parasitoids was used as a model to investigate: (1) the role of mutualistic and parasitic fig wasps in affecting within-tree phenology; (2) direct and indirect biotic associations between various groups of fig wasps (pollinators, gallers and parasitoids) and the influence of inflorescence size and within-tree phenology on them; and (3) variations in the reproduction of and the biotic associations between the organisms of the community under variable abiotic climatic conditions.
Patterns of plant reproductive phenology are usually considered evolved responses directed at optimizing resource use, pollen receipt/donation schedules and seed dispersal for plant individuals. Within-plant reproductive synchrony or asynchrony can arise due to variation in floral initiation patterns, as well as from localised proximate mechanistic responses to interactants such as pollinators, parasites and herbivores which could affect floral longevity or fruit development time. The investigation was begun by exploring the role of a mutualistic pollinator, and for the first time in a brood-site mutualism, that of parasitic herbivores (gallers) and parasitoids in influencing within-plant reproductive phenology. Since a syconium functions as an inflorescence which develops into a fruit after pollination, investigations were carried out on the impact on syconium synchrony of fig wasps that began their development within the brood site syconium at pre-pollination, pollination, and post-pollination stages via their effects on the development time of individual syconia in Ficus racemosa. We found that syconium initiation patterns were not the only proximate mechanism for within-tree reproductive asynchrony, and that individual syconia (even within a tree) had highly plastic development times dependent on their sizes, pollination time and the species of wasp progeny developing within them. Syconium volume, pollination early in the pollen-receptive phase and presence of early-ovipositing galler progeny reduced syconium development time, whereas the presence of late-ovipositing parasitoid progeny or pollination late in the pollen-receptive phase increased syconium development time. These results suggest an ongoing tug-of-war between syconium inhabitants to modify syconium development times. Parasitic fig wasps pull in different directions to suit their own needs, such that final syconium development times are likely to be a compromise between conflicting demands from developing seeds and from different wasp species.
Inter-species relationships among the three trophic levels in plant–herbivore–parasitoid systems can potentially include various direct and indirect effects possibly mediated by induced or natural variations in plant traits. Analysing the seed and fig wasp compositions of microcosm replicates, i.e. individual syconia, shows that besides direct competition for resources and predator–prey interactions, the F. racemosa community also displays exploitative or apparent competition and trait-mediated indirect interactions. Syconium volume and within-tree asynchrony were reproductive plant traits that not only affected plant–herbivore and plant–parasitoid associations, but also possibly modified herbivore–herbivore and herbivore–parasitoid interactions. Our results also indicated that the reciprocal effects of higher trophic level fauna on plant traits (and vice versa) within this system drive a positive feedback cycle between syconium inhabitants and within-tree reproductive asynchrony.
In the F. racemosa system, abiotic environmental factors could affect the reproduction of mutualistic pollinators, non-mutualistic parasites and seed production via seasonal changes in plant reproductive traits such as syconium volume within-tree asynchrony. Temperature, relative humidity and rainfall defined four seasons: winter; hot days, cold nights; summer and wet seasons. Syconium volumes were highest in winter and lowest in summer, and affected syconium contents positively across all seasons. Greater transpiration from the nurseries was possibly responsible for smaller syconia in summer. The 3–5°C increase in mean temperatures between the cooler seasons and summer reduced fig wasp reproduction and increased seed production nearly two-fold. Yet, seed and pollinator progeny production were never negatively related in any season confirming the mutualistic fig–pollinator association across seasons. Parasites affected seed production negatively in some seasons, but had a surprisingly positive relationship with pollinators in most seasons. While within-tree reproductive phenology did not vary across seasons, its effect on syconium inhabitants varied with season. In all seasons, within-tree reproductive asynchrony affected parasite reproduction negatively, whereas it had a positive effect on pollinator reproduction in winter and a negative effect in summer. Seasonally variable syconium volumes probably caused the differential effect of within-tree reproductive phenology on pollinator reproduction. Within-tree reproductive asynchrony itself was positively affected by intra-tree variation in syconium contents and volume, creating a unique feedback loop which varied across seasons. Therefore, nursery size affected fig wasp reproduction, seed production and within-tree reproductive phenology via the feedback cycle in this system. Climatic factors affecting plant reproductive traits can cause biotic relationships between plants, mutualists and parasites to vary seasonally and must be accorded greater attention, especially in the context of climate change.

Previous issue date: 2014-09-30 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / Funda??o de Amparo ? Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / (Effect of edge in structure, diversity and phenology in seasonal tropical forest submontane) Forest fragmentation causes physical and biological changes with habitat loss and insularization of populations, and the edge effect the most obvious consequence of this process. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effect of linear edge in a fragment of submontane seasonal forest in the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil (12?28'31 "S and 41?23'14''W) in order to analyze the structure and composition vegetation, reproductive phenology and the vegetative phenology, classifying the forest as their leaf pattern, and the functional diversity. Were marked 30 plots (10 x 10 m) random and 15 at the forest edge (0 - 100m) and 15 inside (> 150m) in the power line high voltage. For structural studies were marked all individuals with diameter at breast height ?5 cm. The species were classified according to successional category and phytosociological parameters were calculated and diversity indices. The Shannon - Wiener index was compared by t test Hutcheson and the other parameters by ANOVA. From this study the species with the highest importance value and abundance for the other investigations were chosen. In the reproductive phenological study monthly observations were made over 26 months in 481 individuals (282 on the edge (61 species) and 199 inside (50 species) of forest), recording the presence and absence of flowering (and flower button) and fruiting (immature and mature fruit) for all life forms. It is estimated timing, frequency and duration of phenological events and the species were classified as the pollination and dispersal syndromes. Data were analyzed with G test, linear regression and circular statistics. In the study of functional diversity created a matrix of functional traits to the edge and interior including phenological, structural and reproductive aspects. Measurements of leaf traits (thickness, dry dough sheet per unit area, juiciness, density, leaf area ratio and leaf mass fraction), density and wood water saturation were carried out in the dry and wet seasons (September / 2012 and January / 2013) in 20 species. Regressions were made between phenophases and environmental variables (precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, photoperiod and heat stroke), circular statistics and comparisons of leaf traits and wood density between the dry and rainy season through the G test and ANOVA. The species ordination in relation to leaf and wood attributes was evaluated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The functional groups were defined by cluster analysis with distance Gower and calculated indexes Functional richness (FRic), Functional divergence (FDiv), Functional evenness (FEve), Functional dispersion (FDis). ANOVA and linear regression were used to evaluate the rates between areas. In vegetative phenological study followed up the budding and leaf fall 350 individual trees in the community (39 species). Increase the impact of straight edge on the floristic composition was checked, the diversity and abundance of species, while less interference was observed in the tree community structure, as phytosociological parameters and ratios between the guilds did not differ significantly between edge and interior fragment. The phenological analysis revealed that flowering and fruiting at the edge and interior were continued for long, low-intensity periods, asynchronous and assazonal being for most phenophases, with a significant difference in the individual to button number. Seasonality in flowering and fruiting were observed for bush and grass land in both areas and epiphytes to the edge. Similar proportions in the number of species for pollination and dispersal syndromes were found on the edge and inside, with a predominance of melittophilous and animal dispersed species. The vegetation was evergreen, with budding and continuous leaf fall, low intensity and low sync. The leaf bud was related to rainfall and sunshine and fall with precipitation and humidity. Significant variation between the dry and wet seasons were observed in the proportion of saturated water in the wood, leaf area ratio and leaf succulence. ACP showed greater variance for wood density (88.7%) and stored water (11.3%), gathering most species with standard perenif?lios phenological and episodic perenif?lios, other attributes showed no relevance to the phenological patterns. The main functional groups formed on the edge and inside were similar, defined based on the way of life, stratum and pollination and dispersal. Of co-occurring species (40 species), 22.5% belong to different functional groups due to different growth patterns. The functional diversity indices showed higher mean values for the edge, except that Fric was higher in the forest. These were not affected by the distance to the edge. Changes were observed inside in relation to species richness and Shannon - Wiener only for Fric. The implementation of linear infrastructure brings similar impacts to those coming from other types of edges in community structure. In other aspects analyzed the changes were subtle for the tree community, but the same was not true for shrubs, herbs and vines. The vegetation can be classified as seasonal submontane rainforest always green, with small annual variation in the physiognomy of the vegetation, and the perenif?lios and perenif?lios types episodic predominant both in number of species and in their abundance. The leaf traits showed no relevance to phenology, not being good descriptors for the seasonal evergreen forest. There is no significant difference in functional diversity, but the highest rate obtained inside for functional wealth reflects the biological loss caused by the installation on the edge of the linear edge. Appearance evidenced by the greater abundance of Eschweilera tetrapetala Mori inside, an endemic species of submontane forests of the region. This study contributes to future conservation work to note the interference the linear edge on the forest ecosystem, as well as to the classification of the Brazilian forests, to verify the occurrence of seasonal evergreen forests in the Caatinga. / (Efeito de borda na estrutura, diversidade e fenologia de floresta tropical estacional submontana) A fragmenta??o florestal causa mudan?as f?sicas e biol?gicas com perda de habitat e insulariza??o das popula??es, sendo oefeito de borda a consequ?ncia mais evidente desse processo.Assim,objetivou-se investigar o efeito da borda linear em um fragmento de floresta estacional submontana na Chapada Diamantina, Bahia,Brasil (12?28?31??S e 41?23?14??W) com o intuito de analisar a estruturae a composi??o da vegeta??o, a fenologia reprodutivae a fenologia vegetativa, classificando a floresta quanto ao seu padr?o foliar, e a diversidade funcional. Foram marcadas 30 parcelas (10 x 10 m) aleat?rias sendo 15 na borda da floresta (0 - 100m) e 15 no seu interior (>150m) em rela??o ? rede el?trica de alta tens?o. Para o estudo estrutural foram marcados todos os indiv?duos com di?metro ? altura do peito ?5 cm. As esp?cies foram classificadas quanto ? categoria sucessional e foram calculados os par?metros fitossociol?gicos e ?ndices de diversidade. O ?ndice de Shannon - Wienerfoi comparado pelo teste t de Hutcheson e os demais par?metros pela ANOVA. A partir desse estudo foram escolhidas as esp?cies com maior valor de import?ncia e abundancia para as demais investiga??es.No estudo fenol?gico reprodutivo foram realizadas observa??es mensais durante 26 meses a 481 indiv?duos (282 na borda (61 esp?cies) e 199 no interior (50 esp?cies) da floresta), registrando-se a presen?a e aus?ncia de flora??o (bot?o e flor) e frutifica??o (frutos imaturo e maturo) para todas as formas de vida. Estimou-se sincronia, frequ?ncia e dura??o dos eventos fenol?gicos e as esp?cies foram classificadas quanto ?s s?ndromes de poliniza??o e dispers?o. Os dados foram analisados com teste G, regress?o linear e estat?stica circular. No estudo da diversidade funcional criou-se uma matriz de tra?os funcionais para a borda e interior incluindo aspectos fenol?gicos, estruturais e reprodutivos.Mensura??es de atributos foliares (espessura, massa seca de folha por unidade de ?rea, sucul?ncia, densidade, raz?o de ?rea foliar e fra??o de massa foliar), densidade e ?gua de satura??o da madeira foram realizadas nas esta??es seca e chuvosa (setembro/2012 e janeiro/2013) em 20 esp?cies. Foram feitas regress?es entre as fenofases e as vari?veis ambientais (precipita??o, temperatura, umidade relativa, fotoper?odo e insola??o), estat?stica circular e compara??es dos atributos foliares e densidade de madeira entre a esta??o seca e chuvosa atrav?s do teste G e ANOVA. A ordena??o das esp?cies em rela??o aos atributos foliares e de madeira foi avaliada pela An?lise do Componente Principal (ACP). Os grupos funcionais foram definidos por Cluster analysis com dist?ncia de Gower e calculados os ?ndices Functional richness (FRic), Functional divergence (FDiv), Functional evenness (FEve), Functional dispersion (FDis). ANOVA e regress?o linear foram usadas para avaliar os ?ndices entre ?reas. No estudo fenol?gico vegetativo acompanhou-se o brotamento e queda foliar de 350 indiv?duos arb?reos na comunidade (39 esp?cies). Foi verificado um maior impacto da borda linear sobre a composi??o flor?stica,a diversidade e abund?ncia das esp?cies, enquanto menor interfer?ncia foi verificada na estrutura da comunidade arb?rea, uma vez que par?metros fitossociol?gicos e propor??es entre as categorias sucessionais n?o diferiram significativamente entre borda e interior do fragmento.As an?lises fenol?gicas revelaram que a flora??o e frutifica??o na borda e interior foram cont?nuas por per?odos longos e com baixa intensidade, sendo assincr?nico e assazonal para a maioria das fenofases, com diferen?a significativa no n?mero de indiv?duo para bot?o.Sazonalidade na flora??o e frutifica??o foi observada para arbusto e erva terrestre em ambas as ?reas e ep?fitas para a borda.Propor??es semelhantes no n?mero de esp?cies por s?ndromes de poliniza??o e dispers?o foram encontradas na borda e no interior, com predomin?ncia de esp?cies melit?filas e zooc?ricas.A vegeta??o foi perenif?lia, com brotamento e queda foliar cont?nuos, baixa intensidade e baixa sincronia. O brotamento foliar relacionou-se com precipita??o e insola??o e a queda com precipita??o e umidade. Varia??o significativa entre as esta??es seca e chuvosa foram observadas na propor??o de ?gua saturada na madeira, raz?o de ?rea foliar e sucul?ncia da folha. ACP revelou maior varian?a para densidade da madeira (88,7%) e ?gua armazenada (11,3%), agrupando a maioria das esp?cies com padr?o fenol?gico perenif?lios e perenif?lios epis?dicos, os demais atributos n?o apresentaram relev?ncia em rela??o aos padr?es fenol?gicos. Os principais grupos funcionais formados na borda e no interior foram semelhantes, definidos com base na forma de vida, estrato e s?ndrome de poliniza??o e dispers?o. Das esp?cies co-ocorrentes (40 esp?cies), 22,5% pertencem a grupos funcionais distintos devido a diferentes padr?es fenol?gicos. Os ?ndices de diversidade funcional apresentaram valores m?dios superiores para a borda, exceto FRic que foi superior no interior da floresta. Estes n?o foram alterados pela dist?ncia com a borda. Altera??es foram observadas no interior em rela??o ? riqueza de esp?cie e ao ?ndice de Shannon - Wiener apenas para FRic.A implementa??o de infraestruturas lineares traz impactos semelhantes ?queles advindos de outros tipos de bordas na estrutura da comunidade. Nos demais aspectos analisados as varia??es foram sutis para a comunidade arb?rea, mas o mesmo n?o ocorreuem rela??o a arbustos, ervas e trepadeiras. A vegeta??o p?de ser classificada como floresta tropical estacional submontana sempre verde, com pequena varia??o anual na fisionomia da vegeta??o, sendo os tipos perenif?lios e perenif?lios epis?dicos predominantes tanto em n?mero de esp?cies quanto na sua abund?ncia. Os atributos foliares n?o apresentaram relev?ncia em rela??o aos padr?es fenol?gicos, n?o sendo bons descritores para a floresta estacional sempre verde. N?o h? diferen?a significativa na diversidade funcional, mas o maior ?ndice obtido no interior para a riqueza funcional reflete a perda biol?gica ocasionada na borda pela instala??o da borda linear.Aspecto evidenciado pela maior abund?ncia deEschweilera tetrapetala Mori no interior, esp?cie end?mica das florestas submontanas da regi?o. O presente estudo p?de contribuir com futuros trabalhos de conserva??o por constatar a interfer?ncia da borda linear no ecossistema florestal, bem como com a classifica??o das florestas brasileiras, ao verificar a ocorr?ncia de florestas estacional sempre verde no Bioma Caatinga.
