Balancing Harvesting and Conservation: Demographic Responses of a Threatened Palm to Anthropogenic Disturbance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Nineteen years of demographic data reveal a consistent decline of Euterpe edulis in forest fragments, highlighting the species' vulnerability. While the population shows resilience to fruit harvesting, palm heart extraction leads to a demographic collapse.

Which frugivory‐related traits facilitated historical long‐distance dispersal in the custard apple family (Annonaceae)?

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, 2019
Long‐distance dispersal has contributed to the disjunct biogeographical distribution of rain forest plants—something that has fascinated biogeographers since Humboldt's time. However, the dispersal agent for these tropical plant lineages remains puzzling.

Polyploidy in Fruit Tree Crops of the Genus Annona (Annonaceae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Genome duplication or polyploidy is one of the main factors of speciation in plants. It is especially frequent in hybrids and very valuable in many crops.

Phenanthrene Alkaloids From Guatteria Olivacea as Topoisomerase II Inhibitors: Theoretical Insights and Cytotoxic Evaluation

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 2, 15 January 2026.
Three phenanthrene alkaloids from Guatteria olivacea were studied by DFT, docking, MD, and cytotoxicity assays. All compounds showed stable binding to DNA–topoisomerase II and human serum albumin. Atherosperminine exhibited cytotoxic activity against four cancer cell lines, supporting its potential as a topoisomerase II inhibitor and anticancer ...
