Where host plant goes, galls go too: new records of the Neotropical galling Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) associated with Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. (Calophyllaceae) [PDF]

Check List, 2016
Calophyllum brasiliense, a Neotropical species, hosts seven galling Cecidomyiidae reported only for Brazil. Our hypothesis is the distribution of the galling insects associated with C. brasiliense is similar to that of the host plant.

Monodominance of Calophyllum brasiliense (Calophyllaceae) in hygrophilous rainforest stands in NE Corrientes (Argentina)

Bonplandia, 2023
Hygrophilous forests are tree dominated formations in periodically or permanently waterlogged environments. The species composition, phytosociological structure and tree diversity of hygrophilous forest stands located in Puerto Valle, in the northeast of

The presence of peat and variation in tree species composition are under different hydrological controls in Amazonian wetland forests

Hydrological Processes, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract The peat‐forming wetland forests of Amazonia are characterized by high below‐carbon stocks and supply fruit, fibres and timber to local communities. Predicting the future of these ecosystem services requires understanding how hydrological conditions are related to tree species composition and the presence, or absence, of peat.

Variation of non‐structural carbohydrates across the fast–slow continuum in Amazon Forest canopy trees

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 341-355, February 2022., 2022
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Tropical tree species span a range of life‐history strategies within a fast–slow continuum. The position of a species within this continuum is thought to reflect a negative relationship between growth and storage, with fast‐growing species allocating ...

Multi‐scale habitat selection of key frugivores predicts large‐seeded tree recruitment in tropical forest restoration

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Large‐seeded, animal‐dispersed (LSAD) trees include some of the most valuable and threatened species in the tropics, but they are chronically underrepresented in regenerating forests. Toucans disperse many LSAD species, so attracting toucans to regenerating forests should help re‐establish more diverse tree communities.

Proximity and abundance of mother trees affects recruitment patterns in a long‐term tropical forest restoration study

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 12, Page 1826-1837, December 2021., 2021
Remnant trees and forest fragments in agricultural landscapes can be important sources of propagules to facilitate forest recovery. However, many studies simply quantify forest cover in the surrounding landscape as a percentage, with little attention given to species composition, and subsequently fail to detect an effect on recruitment patterns.

Soil‐associated drivers of plant traits and functional composition in Atlantic Forest coastal tree communities

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Abstract The severe deforestation of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest and the increasing effects of climate change underscore the need to understand how tree species respond to climate and edaphic factors. To identify the most important environmental drivers of coastal Atlantic Forest diversity and functional composition, we studied 42 plots of coastal ...

Wood Species Recognition Based on Visible and Near‐Infrared Spectral Analysis Using Fuzzy Reasoning and Decision‐Level Fusion

Journal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
A novel wood species spectral classification scheme is proposed based on a fuzzy rule classifier. The visible/near‐infrared (VIS/NIR) spectral reflectance curve of a wood sample’s cross section was captured using a USB 2000‐VIS‐NIR spectrometer and a FLAME‐NIR spectrometer.

Traditional Medicinal Plants as a Source of Antituberculosis Drugs: A System Review

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Medicinal plants are the chief components in the different oriental formulations in different traditional medical systems worldwide. As a thriving source of medicine, the medicinal plants with antituberculosis (TB) properties inspire the pharmacists to develop new drugs based on their active components or semimetabolites.
