Life histories and extraction impacts models in two untapped Geonoma palms

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
The sustainable management of wild useful palms is crucial for their long-term survival. To understand how populations respond to extraction, it is necessary to examine the impacts of extraction in relation to their life histories in their habitat.

Volatile Profile of Bee Pollens: Optimization of Sampling Conditions for Aroma Analysis, Identification of Potential Floral Markers, and Establishment of the Flavor Wheel. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The study describes the aroma composition of bee pollens from Central and Eastern Europe. Each pollen possesses its own specific volatile profile, with a number of aroma‐active ingredients. Terpenoids are of great importance for the overall aroma of bee pollen. The results establish the flavor wheel suitable for the comprehensive sensory description of

The legacy of human use in Amazonian palm communities along environmental and accessibility gradients

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 881-892, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Palms are iconic and dominant elements of neotropical forests. In the Amazon region, palms have been used and managed by humans for food, material, medicine and other purposes for millennia. It is, however, debated to what extent the structure of modern palm communities reflects long‐term human modification.

Palm Species Traits Determine Soil Nutrient Effects on Seedling Performance

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Environmental gradients influence plant establishment, survival, and functional traits. Along the Panama Canal Isthmus there is a strong rainfall gradient with an underlying mosaic of soil types ranging in soil nutrient availability. In this region, tree

Ecological legacies of past fire and human activity in a Panamanian forest

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 281-291, March 2023., 2023
Tropical forests provide global ecosystem services and harbor much of Earth's terrestrial biodiversity, but the mechanisms driving the patterns of biodiversity remain uncertain. Palms are one of the most abundant and most widely used plant groups, particularly in the Neotropics.

Recent and local diversification of Central American understorey palms

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1513-1525, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Central America is largely covered by hyperdiverse, yet poorly understood, rain forests. Understorey palms are diverse components of these forests, but little is known about their historical assembly. It is not clear when palms in Central America reached present diversity levels and whether most species arrived from neighbouring regions or

The mutualism–antagonism continuum in Neotropical palm–frugivore interactions: from interaction outcomes to ecosystem dynamics

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 527-553, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in the predation and destruction of seeds. Nevertheless, most frugivory interactions involve both benefits and disadvantages for plants, and the net interaction outcomes ...
