PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 122-127, March 2022., 2022 Confronting the ongoing biodiversity crisis and our incomplete taxonomic knowledge on the world's plants requires well‐trained experts able to recognize and identify species. Although botanical training is an integral part of many university programs in biology, plant identification skills are becoming rare.

Life on a leaf: The development of spatial structure in epiphyll communities
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 619-630, March 2022., 2022 Using epiphyll spatial patterns to detect changes in ecological drivers that shape life on a leaf, this study shows how these miniature ecological communities living on rainforest leaves can be used as a model system for community dynamics. Abstract The spatial structure of biotic communities can be shaped by niche‐based or stochastic processes, and ...

TAXON, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 1311-1341, December 2020., 2020 Abstract It is time to synthesize the knowledge that has been generated through more than 260 years of botanical exploration, taxonomic and, more recently, phylogenetic research throughout the world. The adoption of an updated Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2011 provided the essential impetus for the development of the World Flora ...

Species–area relationships on small islands differ among plant growth forms
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 814-829, May 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim We tested whether species–area relationships of small islands differ among plant growth forms and whether this influences the prevalence of the small‐island effect (SIE). The SIE states that species richness on small islands is independent of island area or relates to area in a different way compared with larger islands.

Moth assemblages in Costa Rica rain forest mirror small‐scale topographic heterogeneity
Biotropica, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 288-301, March 2020., 2020 Abstract In many tropical lowland rain forests, topographic variation increases environmental heterogeneity, thus contributing to the extraordinary biodiversity of tropical lowland forests. While a growing number of studies have addressed effects of topographic differences on tropical insect communities at regional scales (e.g., along extensive ...
