ABSTRACT Quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) are objective measures derived from quantitative imaging that can differentiate pathological changes from healthy biological processes. Diffusion MRI parameters derived from Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) could serve as potential QIBs for ...

Taxonomy and diversity of Marcgraviaceae, north of the São Francisco river, northeast Brazil
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of Marcgraviaceae species diversity north of the São Francisco river in northeastern Brazil, analyzing species richness and distribution patterns across 384 000 km² of phytogeographic domains. Through field collections, herbarium studies (both physical and digital), and detailed morphological analyses, we ...

Hummingbirds are very distinctive in their form and behavior, the evolution of which is tightly connected to the evolution of their primary source of energy — floral nectar.

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Stable isotope data indicate origins of mislabelled historical bird specimens
Natural history specimens provide valuable insights across diverse research fields, but those needing more accurate metadata have limited scientific value. We applied stable isotope analysis to investigate the origin of 19th century Atlantic Forest bird specimens attributed to the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco, which are the only records ...

Mist‐net sampling comprises a key methodological component of assemblage‐wide avifaunal studies, particularly in the understorey of closed‐canopy tropical forests. To investigate mist‐net bird captures and species assemblage structure, we compiled data from 312 sites across the Pan‐Amazon.

Microclimate drives demographic compensation in a narrow endemic tropical species
Summary Demographic compensation occurs when reductions in some vital rates are offset by increases in others, allowing populations to maintain similar performance across varying environments. This mechanism may help explain species' ecological distributions and range limits, yet its role at microenvironmental scales remains poorly understood.

Using track analysis and cladistic biogeography, we identified areas of endemism of hummingbirds in the Andean and Neotropical regions. Our results point out that the current areas of endemism of hummingbirds occur in the Andes, Guiana Shield, the Lesser
