Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 3, March 2025.This paper describes the morphology and chemical contents of the pre‐pharyngeal and pharyngeal glands in two different ants. The results provide new insights about the morphology and compounds of the exocrine glands in ants. ABSTRACT Ants occur in a remarkable diversity of species, many of which fulfill essential ecological roles and exhibit complex ...

Tree species controls over nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in a wet tropical forest
Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Wet tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle, but given current rates of land‐use change, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation could reduce productivity in regenerating forests in this biome. Whereas the strong controls of climate and parent material over forest recovery are well known, the influence of ...
