Originaire de l'Amérique du Sud, les Européens ont propagé la culture de l'ananas dans tout le monde tropical; au début du XXe siècle sa culture devint industrielle aux Hawaii avant de se répandre en Asie et en Afrique.―(OC)
Coadaptation entre rythmes de fructification et frugivorie en forêt tropicale humide du Gabon: mythe ou réalité. (Coadaptation between fruiting periodicity and frugivory in a Gaboon rain forest: myth or reality)
Fruiting patterns were studied for a year in lowland evergreen forest at Makokou, Gabon. The results are compared to those reported for other tropical rainforests. Although the AA showed in a simultaneous study that there are broad suites
of morphological fruit characters associated with broad categories of consumers (Gautier-Hion et al., 1985), the results presented here do not suggest an evolutionary influence of consumers on the timing of fruiting.

process and measurement that continue to limit our understanding of, and ability to model, the erosion dynamics of tropical rock coasts. It concludes by identifying potentially fruitful areas for future research.
Through a review of previously published data across the tropics, average cliff face erosion rates are calculated as intertidal erosion rates and subtidal erosion rates. Intertidal erosion rates are variable within and across latitudinal ranges
. A consideration of temporal variations in intertidal erosion rates provides insights into the potential impacts of climate change on the erosion dynamics of rock coasts in the tropics. This paper highlights some of the interactions over time and space between

Dans cette maîtrise, l'A. étudie le développement paradoxal des jardins maraîchers à Nouakchott, capitale située en domaine tropical aride. Elle étudie tout d'abord la façon dont ces jardins ont pu être introduits dans la ville et la place qu'ils y

. New concepts of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical fluctuating zone are formed to understand tropical area. Based on the indexes of climate, vegetation and soil, boundaries of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical
fluctuating zone of the study area are established. The tropical fluctuating zone explains different locating of different researchers. This paper also puts forward a new method to display boundary for eco-geographic regions.
