  abstract = {{A}ttalea speciosa (babassu) is a native palm of the primary forest from {A}mazonian and {C}errado biomes, and has multiple economic and cultural uses. {H}owever, this palm can become dominant in open areas, with a long-term persistence in the community. {T}he objective of this study was to compare the population structure and morphology of babassu in three habitat types characterizing forest succession: primary forest, pasture, and babacual (babassu-dominated secondary forest). {F}or this purpose, we monitored 6,333 individuals for three years at six life stages in 11 sites with 25 plots located in {PA}-{B}enfica, {I}tupiranga-{P}ara, {B}razil. {T}he morphological parameters showed differences between secondary environments (pasture and babacual) and primary forests, suggesting that this species has a high capacity for phenotypic plasticity. {T}he inverse {J}-shaped distribution was observed only in primary forests, with the density of all stages constant along the whole study, unlike pastures and babacual areas. {W}hile the density of seedlings is highest in primary forests, stage 4 and 5 juveniles and adults are most numerous in babacuals. {O}ur results suggest that the higher dominance of {A}. speciosa in babacual areas can be associated with the resilience of this species to anthropogenic disturbances.},
