International Journal of Biodiversity, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 A survey was conducted between October 2010 and June 2011 to determine the diversity, distribution, and abundance of plants in 4 sites of the Lebialem highlands and to relate species diversity and abundance to altitude and soil types. Twelve (12) plots, each of 1 ha (250 × 40 m), were surveyed at the submontane and montane altitudes of the sites.

Divergence in Defence against Herbivores between Males and Females of Dioecious Plant Species
International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Defensive traits may evolve differently between sexes in dioecious plant species. Our current understanding of this process hinges on a partial view of the evolution of resistance traits that may result in male‐biased herbivory in dioecious populations.

Trigona corvina: An Ecological Study Based on Unusual Nest Structure and Pollen Analysis
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 We found that the nest of Trigona corvina (Apidae; Meliponini) consists mainly of pollen exines from bee excrement, forming a scutellum shield encasing the colony. A 20‐year‐old nest (1980–2000) from a lowland Panama forested habitat was sawed in half longitudinally, and a 95 cm transect was systematically sampled each 5 cm.
