Nickel hyperaccumulation in Orthion and Mayanaea (Violaceae) from Mesoamerica
Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 879-893, November 2024.This article reports the discovery that seven species of woody plants (pictured) in the genera Orthion and Mayanaea (Violaceae) are capable of hyperaccumulating nickel (Ni) in their leaves, and many individuals simultaneously hyperaccumulate cobalt as well.

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 2, March 2024.The northern Andes are a major biogeographic dispersal barrier to lowland rain forest trees. We examine genetic diversity and divergence of paired populations of 49 rain forest tree species co‐distributed on opposite sides of the Andes and show that dispersal across or around this biogeographic barrier has left enduring genetic signatures. Abstract The

Seed‐to‐Seedling Transitions Exhibit Distance‐Dependent Mortality but No Strong Spacing Effects in a Neotropical Forest [PDF]
, 2019 Patterns of seed dispersal and seed mortality influence the spatial structure of plant communities and the local coexistence of competing species. Most seeds are dispersed in proximity to the parent tree, where mortality is also expected to be the ...
