Influence of Optimized Microwave Treatment on the Nutritional Parameters and Bioactive Compounds of Tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum) Nectar

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The tucumã‐do‐Amazonas (Astrocaryum aculeatum) is a fruit that is native to the Amazon region and known for its high content of β‐carotene, phenolic compounds, and unsaturated fatty acids, making it a promising candidate for the development of functional products. However, conventional thermal methods can degrade heat‐sensitive compounds.

Ensuring Pollinator Presence in Expanding Oil Crops: The Case of Mystrops debilis (Nitidulidae) and the Macauba Palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1180-1195, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae) is a Neotropical native oil palm, increasingly important in Central and South America due to rising demand for raw materials and its potential for bioenergy. Understanding its pollinator ecology is crucial to identify new areas for cultivation. This study examines the structure of floral visitor

Diversity and Activity Patterns of Medium‐Sized and Large Terrestrial Mammals in Agroforests of a Peruvian Amazon Rainforest Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
We studied species richness and activity patterns of medium‐sized and large terrestrial mammals in agroforests located in the northern buffer zone of Tambopata National Reserve, Peru. The agroforests harboured a high number of mammal species, with species richness increasing alongside greater structural complexity of vegetation.

Wild or Introduced? Investigating the Genetic Landscape of Cacao Populations in South America

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Cacao populations span a continuum from wild to domesticated forms, shaped by complex patterns of human influence and selection. Using RAD‐sequencing, we show that native Upper Amazonian populations harbor the highest genetic diversity, while the Guiana group likely represents an isolated wild lineage and Amelonado shows clear signals of artificial ...
