Contexts of Anointing Behavior in a Group of Blond Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus flavius) Inhabiting an Atlantic Forest Fragment. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Wild blond capuchin anoints with millipede species that secrete a chemical capable of repelling ectoparasites, suggesting a self‐medicative function. Social and solitary anointing bouts occurred at similar frequencies, but with greater engagement by adult males, indicating that anointing is a multifunctional behavior.

Characterization of Stone Tool Use in Wild Groups of Critically Endangered Yellow-Breasted Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus xanthosternos). [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
First camera trap video footage for wild Sapajus xanthosternos cracking resistant nuts with stone tools. ABSTRACT Objectives A hallmark of hominin evolution is the advent and diversification of stone tool use, and biological anthropologists have a particular interest in characterizing tool use behaviors in different hominin species.

Spatial distribution of Annonaceae across biomes and anthromes: Knowledge gaps in spatial and ecological data

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 520-535, July 2023., 2023
The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration underlines the importance of understanding how different taxa are affected by human induced, global changes in ecosystems. Here, we investigate if this impact can be quantified for the globally distributed tropical plant group Annonaceae (Soursop family) using distributional data and International ...

Spatiotemporal trends in floral visitation and interaction networks reveal shifting niches for bats in a Neotropical savanna

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 1442-1455, July 2023., 2023
The article reveals that the temporal and spatial axes are important drivers of the floral‐visitor niche of anthophilous bats in a Neotropical savanna, defining the structure of their interaction networks with plants. These findings may aid in the management of the endangered Cerrado bat Lonchophylla dekeyseri. Abstract Flower‐vising bats are important

Intrafloral patterns of color and scent in Capparis spinosa L. and the ghosts of its selection past

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise Capparis spinosa is a widespread charismatic plant, in which the nocturnal floral habit contrasts with the high visitation by diurnal bees and the pronounced scarcity of hawkmoths. To resolve this discrepancy and elucidate floral evolution of C.

Cacao flower visitation: Low pollen deposition, low fruit set and dominance of herbivores

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 2, April–June 2022., 2022
Pollination of native cacao is surprisingly understudied, even though the process is crucial for the global chocolate production. In an understudied peruvian region, we found herbivores as dominant flower visitors, and low pollen deposition.Fruit set was low when flowers were pollinated naturally (2%), but also manually (7%). Our findings highlight the

A meta‐analysis of responses of C3 plants to atmospheric CO2: dose–response curves for 85 traits ranging from the molecular to the whole‐plant level

New Phytologist, Volume 233, Issue 4, Page 1560-1596, February 2022., 2022
Summary Generalised dose–response curves are essential to understand how plants acclimate to atmospheric CO2. We carried out a meta‐analysis of 630 experiments in which C3 plants were experimentally grown at different [CO2] under relatively benign conditions, and derived dose–response curves for 85 phenotypic traits.

Effects of time since invasion and control actions on a coastal ecosystem invaded by non‐native pine trees

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.

Fossil papilionoids of the Bowdichia clade (Leguminosae) from the Paleogene of North America

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 130-150, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Understanding the evolutionary history of flowering plants has been enriched by the integration of molecular phylogenies and evidence from the fossil record. Fossil fruits and leaves from the late Paleocene and Eocene of Wyoming and Eocene of Kentucky and Tennessee are described as extinct genera in the tropical American Bowdichia ...

A nuclear phylogenomic study of the angiosperm order Myrtales, exploring the potential and limitations of the universal Angiosperms353 probe set

American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 7, Page 1087-1111, July 2021., 2021
Premise To further advance the understanding of the species‐rich, economically and ecologically important angiosperm order Myrtales in the rosid clade, comprising nine families, approximately 400 genera and almost 14,000 species occurring on all continents (except Antarctica), we tested the Angiosperms353 probe kit.
