During a field expedition to the Jalapão region (Tocantins State, Brazil), a morphologically distinct specimen was collected and identified as a new species, Chamaecrista marinasilvae. Further herbarium investigations revealed additional collections of this taxon from the same state that had been misidentified as Chamaecrista juruenensis.

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Agronomic effectiveness of rock phosphates for corrective fertilization of an Oxisol from brazilian savanna cultivated with maize and common beans. [PDF]
Due to the inherently low content and high degree of phosphorus fixation in the most part of Brazilian Savanna soils, Phosphorus fertilization is essential to attend crop demands. The fully acidulated phosphates are the main sources of Phosphorus used in

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Abstract Tropical dry ecosystems (TDEs) cover half of the tropics and play a key role in global carbon dynamics. TDEs present distinct canopy and ground layers that often exhibit contrasting phenological patterns. On‐the‐ground observations of phenology by the human eye, though valuable, may suffer from limited temporal resolution and observer biases ...

ABSTRACT Standardised sampling protocols are essential for improving biodiversity assessments, particularly for indicator groups such as fruit‐feeding butterflies. Although fermented banana is the most widely used bait in tropical regions, rotten fish is the best bait for catching fruit‐feeding butterflies in high‐altitude sites.

ABSTRACT High‐elevation ecosystems are among the most sensitive to climate change, responding more rapidly than low‐elevation environments. However, few studies have shown the effects of climate change on grass species in these environments. Among them, Apochloa molinioides and Trichanthecium wettsteinii (Poaceae) are notable for occurring in high ...

Thermal tolerance of Brosimum rubescens seedlings declines under open‐canopy conditions in southern Amazonia, where leaf temperatures often exceed critical thresholds. These findings highlight the vulnerability of monodominant tropical species to climate warming and prolonged dry seasons, with potential consequences for forest regeneration and ...

Integrating Diverse Approaches, Actors, and Local Knowledge: Lessons From the 61st ATBC Meeting
With roots dating back to 1963, the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) has broadened its biological focus to embrace the multidimensional nature of conservation. The 61st ATBC Meeting in Oaxaca, México (2025) emphasized integrating ecological, social, and cultural dimensions through diverse approaches, actors, and knowledge ...
