Taxonomic Updates of Thismia pseudomelanomitra (Thismiaceae) Reveal an Old Acquaintance From the Ecuadorian Amazon

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon Basin is home to the world's greatest terrestrial biodiversity, but many plant groups remain poorly studied. One example is the mycoheterotrophic genus Thismia (Thismiaceae), which is notable for its highly specialized floral morphology and ephemeral life cycles, making it difficult to detect in the field and limiting its ...

Linking genetic variability to fruit and pyrene traits in Endopleura uchi genotypes from the Eastern Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Endopleura uchi is a valuable tree species with significant nutraceutical potential and extensive applications. However, there is a lack of information regarding genetic parameters and the characterization of phenotypic variability that could be applied ...

Sustainable forest use in Brazilian extractive reserves: natural regeneration of Brazil nut in exploited populations. [PDF]

, 2019
The emergence of Brazilian extractive reserves reinforced the notion that sustainable forest use could play a central role in conservation. Brazil nut is considered a model non-timber product for promoting conservation through use.

Clarifying nomenclatural uncertainties in Jupunba (Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Molecular phylogenetic studies have prompted substantial revisions in the systematics of the former genus Abarema, resulting in the reinstatement of the genera Punjuba and Jupunba, and a re‐circumscription of Abarema. Despite these advances, some taxa still require nomenclatural adjustments to reflect monophyletic lineages.

Brazil’s Deferred Highway: Mobility, Development, and Anticipating the State in Amazonia [PDF]

, 2012
Four decades ago, Brazilian officials plotted designs for colonization and resource extraction in Amazonia; subsequently the region has become a test-lab for successive development regimes. Along the Santarém-Cuiabá Highway (Br-163) in the state of Pará,

The Flooding Gradient Affects Seed Dispersal by Fruit‐Eating Fishes in Amazonian Whitewater Floodplain Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
This research approaches the interaction between frugivorous fish and the flooded forests in the central Amazon. We evaluated the fruit consumption by fish and the seed dispersal potential along the flood gradient. We tested the hypothesis that the role of fish as seed dispersers varies between low várzea (LV) and high várzea (HV) forests.

Livelihood gains and ecological costs of NTFP dependence: assessing the roles of dependence, ecological knowledge and market structure in three contrasting human and ecological settings in south India [PDF]

, 2004
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) constitute the single largest determinant of livelihoods for scores of forest fringe communities and poor people in the tropics. In India over 50 million people are believed to be directly dependent upon NTFPs for their
