ALL USEFUL PLANTS HAVE NOT ONLY IDENTITIES, BUT STORIES: THE MYTHICAL ORIGINS OF THE PEACH PALM (BACTRIS GASIPAES KUNTH) ACCORDING TO THE PERUVIAN ASHÁNINKA; pp. 173–195 [PDF]
Trames, 2014 In this paper we present a myth about the origins of the peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth), recorded during a research project dedicated to landscape domestication and the management of palms by the Asháninka people of Amazonian Peru.

Hybridization in palms (Arecaceae)
Ecology and EvolutionAbstractHybridization has significant evolutionary consequences across the Tree of Life. The process of hybridization has played a major role in plant evolution and has contributed to species richness and trait variation. Since morphological traits are partially a product of their environment, there may be a link between hybridization and ecology ...

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Floral development in Aphandra (Arecaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2001 The organogenesis of staminate flower clusters and flowers and some observations on the corresponding pistillate structures of Aphandra natalia are described and compared with those of the other two genera in the Phytelephantoideae (Arecaceae). In Aphandra, staminate flowers are borne in monopodial clusters of mostly four (1–6) flowers.

Pollen morphology of the African Sclerosperma (Arecaceae) [PDF]
Grana, 2018 Three currently accepted Sclerosperma species appear to produce four different pollen morphologies. Sclerosperma mannii and S. walkeri pollen share the same distinct reticulate sculpture, but S. profizianum produces three different pollen types (microreticulate, fossulate, and perforate). The pollen morphology suggests that S. mannii and S. walkeri are
