Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

The Light Bite: Red‐Nosed Cuxiu (Chiropotes albinasus, Primates) Exploit Differential Penetrability of Hard Fruit Husks When Selecting Dental Puncture Sites

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Red‐nosed cuxiu are specialists in unripe seeds of hard‐husked fruits, which they access with massive jaw muscles and enlarged canines. But this costs energy and risks tooth breakage. The monkeys reduce both by biting at the softest spots on the fruit surface.

From waste to resource: Garlic peel‐derived proteases (Allium sativum) for nematode control

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, Volume 44, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract This study aimed to prepare a protease‐rich extract from garlic peel (Allium sativum) and evaluate its nematicidal potential. The garlic peel was crushed, suspended in distilled water, and the obtained extract was subjected to filtration, centrifugation, and dialysis to concentrate the proteases. The nematicidal activity was tested in vitro on

Accumulation and biomass partition and nutrients per tropical ornamental plants grown in Ribeira Valley region

Ornamental Horticulture, 2016
For many ornamental plants there are no fertilization tables in Brazil and growers use, inappropriately, the same fertilizing for different species of ornamental plants. A first step is to know the nutrient uptake by these plants.

Climatic and Edaphic Drivers of Soil Organic Carbon and Pyrogenic Carbon Stocks Across Elevation and Disturbance Gradients in Colombian Andean Forests

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study examined soil organic carbon (SOC) and pyrogenic carbon (PyC) stocks in tropical Andean soils across elevation and disturbance gradients in Colombia. SOC stocks to 100 cm depth averaged 433.10 Mg C ha−1 while PyC was 34.13 Mg C ha−1. Key drivers of PyC stocks include soil clay (%), mean annual precipitation (PA), pH, Ca, and NDVI, which ...
