Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

More Science Than Art: The First Botanical Garden in Portugal (c. 1650)
ABSTRACT Gabriel Grisley, a German physician, came to Portugal and founded a garden near the Xabregas River in Lisbon, during the 1610s under the Spanish kings' rule.

ABSTRACT Various factors can trigger water stress in plants, particularly in those growing in dry tropical regions. To survive under such conditions, plants produce metabolites with adaptive functions. However, metabolomic data on the leaves of Malpighiaceae species cultivated in both dry and humid tropical areas of Brazil remain scarce.

Abstract Systematic knowledge of the Mexican Crassulaceae is slowly progressing as data from new DNA regions and species sampling efforts increase. We compiled and generated new rbcL, matK, rps16, ITS/ITS2, and ETS DNA sequences and performed an updated phylogenetic reconstruction for a group of 131 Mexican Crassulaceae terminals from 11 of the 13 ...
