Phylogenetic relationships among arecoid palms (Arecaceae: Arecoideae) [PDF]
The Arecoideae is the largest and most diverse of the five subfamilies of palms (Arecaceae/Palmae), containing >50 % of the species in the family. Despite its importance, phylogenetic relationships among Arecoideae are poorly understood. Here the most densely sampled phylogenetic analysis of Arecoideae available to date is presented.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

ABSTRACT Various factors can trigger water stress in plants, particularly in those growing in dry tropical regions. To survive under such conditions, plants produce metabolites with adaptive functions. However, metabolomic data on the leaves of Malpighiaceae species cultivated in both dry and humid tropical areas of Brazil remain scarce.

First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.

Triporate pollen in the Arecaceae [PDF]
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 ...

Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a Tropical Rainforest
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.
