Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

Species relationships in the genus Vasconcellea (Caricaceae) based on molecular and morphological evidence [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2005
Validity of the taxa currently recognized in the genus Vasconcellea was analyzed by investigating morphological and molecular data from 105 specimens of this genus and six specimens of the related genus Carica. Taxon identification of these specimens was compared with clustering in two phenetic dendrograms generated with 36 morphological characters and

Oviposition Activity of an Invasive Fruit Fly Species at Different Densities in Laboratory

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 45-52, January 2026.
Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major fruit fly pest affecting Brazil's international fruit trade due to phytosanitary restrictions. Although currently restricted to northern Brazil, little is known about its oviposition behavior. In this study, we investigated the daily oviposition pattern of B.

The Influence of Sexual Polymorphism on Metabolomics and Biological Activities of Pawpaw (Carica papaya)

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pawpaw (Carica papaya) is an economically important tropical crop valued for its nutritional fruit. The leaf is eaten as salad, soup, or tea. Various parts of the pawpaw are used to treat diseases. However, no studies have examined how sexual polymorphism (male, female, and hermaphrodite) affects the plant’s metabolome and bioactivities.
