Looking backward to move forward: Enhancing metadata in scientific collections through interdisciplinary collaboration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Early modern herbaria house important and useful data on historic environments. However, their contents are often inhospitable to scientific use. Despite this challenge, once their contents have been deciphered, such specimens present novel research opportunities.

Floral structure in the neotropical palm genus Chamaedorea (Arecoideae, Arecaceae)

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2008
Male and female floral structure has been studied in 28 species of Chamaedorea, the largest palm genus present in the Neotropics. The taxa investigated represent all subgenera according to the most recent taxonomic revision of the group.

From traditional practice to unsustainable exploitation: Fruit overharvesting on the endangered relict palm Jubaea chilensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Overharvesting of wild edible plants poses a growing threat to plant populations worldwide, particularly for slow‐growing species with limited regeneration. We quantified fruit extraction from the third‐largest known population of Jubaea chilensis—an endangered palm endemic to Chile—modeled the critical harvest threshold, and assessed consumer ...

The complete plastid genome of Bactris riparia (Arecaceae) and a comparative analysis in Bactridinae (Cocoseae, Arecaceae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022
Here we sequenced and characterized the complete plastome of Bactris riparia, a species closely related to B. gasipaes and widely distributed in Western Amazonia. We performed a comparative genomic analysis with B. riparia and the other four Bactridinae species retrieved from GenBank. The plastome of B.

Adjacency and Area Explain Species Bioregional Shifts in Neotropical Palms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Environmental and geographical variables are known drivers of community assembly, however their influence on phylogenetic structure and phylogenetic beta diversity of lineages within different bioregions is not well-understood. Using Neotropical palms as

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

Triporate pollen in the Arecaceae [PDF]

Grana, 2003
Triapertury is rare in monocotyledons. The well-defined, regularly spaced, circular porate apertures that occur in Arecaceae: Areca klingkangensis from Borneo, and species of the West African genus Sclerosperma, appear to be unique in monocotyledons. There is evidence to suggest that tripory in Arecaceae has been derived from trichotomosulcy, although ...

Practicality of pamplet learning media for Arecaceae family

Bio-Inoved: Jurnal Biologi-Inovasi Pendidikan, 2022
This android-based learning media which we call the pamplet media (short for Palmae Plant Ethnobotany) is a means to convey palm plant ethnobotany material. The purpose of this research was to produce a practical pamplet media.

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.
