REPRODUCTIVE PHENOLOGY OF MAURITIA FLEXUOSA L. (ARECACEAE) IN A COASTAL RESTINGA ENVIRONMENT IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

Reproductive phenology of Mauritia flexuosa L. (Arecaceae) in a coastal restinga environment in northeastern Brazil

Abstract The buriti, Mauritia flexuosa, is the most common palm in Brazil, where it has considerable ecological and economic importance.However, few data are available on the phenology of the species, mainly in coastal restinga ecosystems.The present study monitored the reproductive phenology of M.flexuosa in the restinga of Barreirinhas, in the Br

The quadratic relationship between difficulty of intelligence test items and their correlations with working memory

Fluid intelligence (Gf) is a crucial cognitive ability that involves abstract reasoning in order to solve novel problems.Recent research demonstrated that Gf strongly depends on the individual effectiveness of working memory (WM).We Gift Card investigated a popular claim that if the storage capacity underlay the WM-Gf correlation, then such a corre
