Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 12, Page 2098-2109, December 2023., 2023 Our results demonstrated the complex pathways in which functional traits scale up from individuals to communities in species‐rich tropical forests. Abstract We tested the idea that functional trade‐offs that underlie species tolerance to drought drive shifts in community composition via their effects on demographic processes and subsequently on shifts ...

Metabolomic Analysis and Antioxidant Potential of Tropical Propolis Nonpolar Extracts from Colombia
Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Bioactive compounds of natural matrices are of interest because of their application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. One important source of bioactives is propolis, a resinous biomass that bees make from the plants surrounding the hive. Regarding Colombian propolis, studies have mostly been directed towards identifying flavonoids and their ...

Lianas have more acquisitive traits than trees in a dry but not in a wet forest
Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 6, Page 2367-2384, June 2021., 2021 Lianas in a dry tropical forest had a more acquisitive strategy than trees, characterized by more productive leaves and more efficient display for light interception. In dry environments, lianas appear to benefit from high‐light and nutrient‐rich soils and thus take advantage of higher resource conditions compared to trees.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 238-248, May 2021., 2021 Tropical dry forests (TDF) underpin the wellbeing of millions, mostly rural populations; yet have suffered from severe clearing in Colombia, triggering cascading effects such as desertification. By engaging scientists, society, and institutions in the establishment of platforms for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, crucial knowledge ...

Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2021 ABSTRACT Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide and in Colombia it is considered critically endangered according to the national red list of ecosystems. Ongoing processes of fragmentation and degradation of SDTFs are expected to be accompanied by a loss of genetic diversity of the tree populations ...
