    Description: A comparative analysis of 23 populations of the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) across the Brazilian, Peruvian, and Bolivian Amazon shows that the history and intensity of Brazil nut exploitation are major determinants of population size structure. Populations subjected to persistent levels of harvest lack juvenile trees less than 60 centimeters in diameter at breast height; only populations with a history of either light or recent exploitation contain large numbers of juvenile trees. A harvesting model confirms that intensive exploitation levels over the past century are such that juvenile recruitment is insufficient to maintain populations over the long term. Without management, intensively harvested populations will succumb to a process of senescence and demographic collapse, threatening this cornerstone of the Amazonian extractive economy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Peres, Carlos A -- Baider, Claudia -- Zuidema, Pieter A -- Wadt, Lucia H O -- Kainer, Karen A -- Gomes-Silva, Daisy A P -- Salomao, Rafael P -- Simoes, Luciana L -- Franciosi, Eduardo R N -- Cornejo Valverde, Fernando -- Gribel, Rogerio -- Shepard, Glenn H Jr -- Kanashiro, Milton -- Coventry, Peter -- Yu, Douglas W -- Watkinson, Andrew R -- Freckleton, Robert P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Dec 19;302(5653):2112-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK.

    Description: Temporal variability of communities is a natural property of ecological systems, which is influenced by the difference among environments and also by anthropogenic activities. Many studies have suggested that diversity can buffer this variability. This prompted the hypothesis that diversity produces stability. However, the stabilizing effect of diversity on ecosystem properties has been challenged. Studying two sets of lakes (with or without connectivity to the rivers) in the floodplain, we tested the hypothesis that the diversity-stability relationship depends on the environmental variability, which leads to a difference in the pattern of dynamic responses of species (synchrony and asynchrony). Moreover, it was also observed as disturbances produced by changes in hydrological regime affected the temporal variability of zooplankton community. In lakes with lower environmental variability (ponds connected), the variability of community was positively associated with diversity. However, in lakes with greater environmental variability, it was observed decrease in community variability with diversity. Environments without connectivity tend to have higher environmental variability, and therefore may produce different responses of species (asynchronous dynamics) and a consequent decrease in total variability of community, producing a positive relationship between diversity and stability. Computer simulations confirmed these results showing that, when asynchronous responses prevail over synchronous responses, the covariation tends to decrease becoming negative, decreasing the total community variability with increasing species richness, indicating that the diversity increases temporal stability community. It was also registered that the absence of floods changed the variability of zooplankton in connected lakes, increasing the temporal dissimilarity of community structure. This suggests that in the flood plains, flooding is the system component that aids in the maintenance of ecological processes and high biodiversity of these environments.
    Description: A variabilidade temporal das comunidades é uma propriedade natural dos sistemas ecológicos, influenciada pela diferença entre ambientes e também por atividades antropogênicas. Muitos estudos têm sugerido que a diversidade pode tamponar esta variabilidade. Isto levou a hipótese de que a diversidade produz estabilidade. Entretanto, o efeito estabilizante da diversidade sobre as propriedades ecossistêmicas tem sido contestado. Estudando dois conjuntos de lagoas (com e sem conectividade a rios) em planície de inundação, foi testada a hipótese de que a relação diversidade estabilidade depende da variabilidade ambiental, a qual conduz uma diferença no padrão de dinâmica de respostas das espécies (sincronia e assincronia). Além disso, também foi verificado como distúrbios produzidos por alterações no regime hidrológico afetaram a variabilidade temporal da comunidade zooplanctônica. Nas lagoas com variabilidade ambiental menor (lagoas conectadas), a variabilidade da comunidade esteve positivamente associada com a diversidade. Porém, nas lagoas com maior variabilidade ambiental, foi observado decréscimo da variabilidade da comunidade com a diversidade. Os ambientes sem conectividade tendem a apresentar maior variabilidade ambiental, e por isso, podem produzir diferentes respostas das espécies (dinâmica assíncrona) e um consequente decréscimo na variabilidade total da comunidade, produzindo uma relação positiva entre diversidade e estabilidade. Simulações computacionais corroboraram estes resultados mostrando que: quando respostas assíncronas prevalecem sobre respostas sincrônicas, a covariação tende a diminuir tornando-se negativa, diminuindo a variabilidade total da comunidade com o aumento da riqueza de espécies, ou seja, a diversidade aumenta a estabilidade temporal da comunidade. Também foi verificado que a ausência de inundações modificou a variabilidade da comunidade zooplanctônica nas lagoas conectadas, aumentando a dissimilaridade temporal da estrutura da comunidade. Isto sugere que nas planícies de inundação, a inundação é componente do sistema que auxilia na manutenção dos processos ecológicos e alta biodiversidade destes ambientes.
