Ecological fitting is a sufficient driver of tight interactions between sunbirds and ornithophilous plants. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 The interactions between African sunbirds and alien ornithophilous plants from Asia and America were studied at a local farm in Cameroon. We demonstrated a high ecological fit between actors of distinct evolutionary history. Abstract Plant–bird pollination interactions evolved independently on different continents.

Growth-defense trade-offs promote habitat isolation between recently-diverged species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGrowth–defense trade‐offs have long been implicated in tropical plant diversity, but how do these tradeoffs contribute to reproductive isolation? This study characterizes growth–defense trade‐offs between two recently diverged tropical plants and explore their role in maintaining strong habitat isolation.

Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Local Tissue Damage Induced by Snake Venoms: An Overview from Traditional Use to Pharmacological Evidence. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2017 Snakebites are a serious problem in public health due to their high morbimortality. Most of snake venoms produce intense local tissue damage, which could lead to temporary or permanent disability in victims. The available specific treatment is the antivenom serum therapy, whose effectiveness is reduced against these effects.

Ecological Research, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 313-328, March 2021., 2021 In this study, we examine whether the principle of “diversity begets diversity” applies for phorophyte‐epiphyte relationships in tropical forests, using foliicolous lichen communities as an example of a specialized epiphyte guild. Foliicolous lichens exhibited subtle phorophyte preferences, with community composition more diverging on phorophytes with ...

[Banana tree pests attacking Heliconia latispatha Benth. (Heliconiaceae)]. [PDF]
Neotropical entomology, 2007 In mid-May 2005, the caterpillars Antichloris eriphia (Fabr.) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) and Calligo illioneus (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) which are banana tree pests, were found attacking six-month old stalks of Heliconia latispatha Benth., planted near a banana tree plantation in Jaguariuna, SP, Brazil. The attack by C. illioneus is observed by

Early floral development of Heliconia latispatha (Heliconiaceae), a key taxon for understanding the evolution of flower development in the Zingiberales [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2009 We present new comparative data on early floral development of Heliconia latispatha, an ecologically and horticulturally important tropical plant within the order Zingiberales. Modification of the six members of two androecial whorls is characteristic of Zingiberales, with a reduction in number of fertile stamen from five or six in the banana families (
