Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a Tropical Rainforest
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.

True and False Foodplants of \u3ci\u3eCallosamia Promethea\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) in Southern Michigan [PDF]
A survey in 1980 of the associations of over 400 cocoons of Callosamia promethea Drury in vegetation along and adjacent to southern Michigan roadsides gave evidence for seven species of true larval foodplants (not including two others known in the area ...

The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

Linking to images and AI‐based identification tools—The only way for Flora projects to survive
Floras are comprehensive and authoritative catalogues of plants growing in an area of interest. They help people find and name plants, which is achieved by a combination of images, drawings, and text, rarely also maps. Like other catalogues (lexica, dictionaries, telephone books), Floras will not survive unless they move online and become portable ...

Dynamics of tree diversity in undisturbed and logged subtropical rainforest in Australia [PDF]
In subtropical rainforest in eastern Australia, changes in the diversity of trees were compared under natural conditions and eight silvicultural regimes over 35 years. In the treated plots basal area remaining after logging ranged from 12 to 58 m2 per ha.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation
