Invasion by Cedrela odorata threatens long distance migration of Galapagos tortoises [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionInvasive alien species are among the most pervasive threats to biodiversity. Invasive species can cause catastrophic reductions in populations of native and endemic species and the collapse of ecosystem function.

Plastic adjustments in xylem vessel traits to drought events in three Cedrela species from Peruvian Tropical Andean forests [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Cedrela species occur within the Tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) and rainforest in North America (Mexico), Central and South America. We assessed the hypothesis that functional xylem hydraulic architecture might be influenced by specific climatic ...

De Novo Transcriptome Assembly of Cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) and Differential Gene Expression Involved in Herbivore Resistance. [PDF]
Curr Issues Mol BiolTimber trees are targets of herbivorous attacks. The identification of genes associated with pest resistance can be accomplished through differential expression analysis using transcriptomes. We reported the de novo assembly of cedar (Cedrela odorata L.)
