Plastic adjustments in xylem vessel traits to drought events in three Cedrela species from Peruvian Tropical Andean forests. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 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 ...

DISTRIBUTION OF THE GENUS CEDRELA IN ECUADOR

RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2018
The genus Cedrela in Ecuador has four species: C. odorata, C. montana, C. fissilis and C. nebulosa. Cedrela was one of the economically most important timber in the past, due to its wood properties.

Integrative taxonomy of Cedrela (Meliaceae) leads to the recognition of a new species (C. tamaulipana) and the reinstatement of C. saxatilis. [PDF]

PLoS One
A new species of Cedrela (Meliaceae) is described and illustrated from recently discovered populations at Rancho del Cielo Biosphere Reserve, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The newly proposed species is morphologically close to C.

Invasion by Cedrela odorata threatens long distance migration of Galapagos tortoises. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Invasive 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.

Oleanane Triterpenoids from Cedrela montana (Meliaceae) [PDF]

Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung - Section C Journal of Biosciences, 2002
Two new oleanane-type triterpenes, characterized as 3-oxo-11α,12α-epoxy-oleanan-28,13β- olide and 3-oxo-olean-11-en-28,13β-olide , were isolated from the fruits and seeds of Cedrela montana (Meliaceae). In addition, the known compounds oleanonic acid , a mixture of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol, and the limonoid photogedunin were also isolated.

Apotirucallane and Tirucallane Triterpenoids from Cedrela sinensis

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2007
Nine new triterpenoids, 1-9, were isolated from the cortex of Cedrela sinensis (Meliaceae), together with six known compounds, sapelin E acetate, grandifoliolenone, azadirone, bourjotinolone A, piscidinol A, and hispidol B. The structures of 1-9 were determined by the 2D NMR experiments, chemical methods, and X-ray crystallography.

Multi‐Species Canopy Latrines in Costa Rican Cloud Forests: A Mammal Interactions Hub in a Single Tree Species [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.
