Fossil palm reading: using fruits to reveal the deep roots of palm diversity. [PDF]
Am J Bot, 2021 PREMISE Fossils are essential for understanding evolutionary history because they provide direct evidence of past diversity and geographic distributions. However, resolving systematic relationships between fossils and extant taxa, an essential step for many macroevolutionary studies, requires extensive comparative work on morphology and anatomy.

Impact of Leaf Harvest on Populations of Lepidocaryum tenue , an Amazonian Understory Palm Used for Thatching [PDF]
Tropical Conservation Science, 2011 Leaves of the palm Lepidocaryum tenue are one of the most prized thatching materials in northwestern Amazonia. We studied the population dynamics of this stoloniferous palm in Colombian Amazonia, using ramet-based Lefkovitch matrices, and assessed the impact of leaf harvest on population structure and dynamics, through experimental defoliation.

Useful palms (Arecaceae) near Iquitos, Peruvian Amazon
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2014 This paper describes the uses of 64 species of palms in 28 villages in Departamento de Loreto, Peru. There, the palms are of great use as food (Bactris gasipaes, Mauritia flexuosa, Euterpe precatoria, Oenocarpus bataua), for fiber production ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Demographic studies are essential for understanding how species populations respond over time to environmental conditions and anthropogenic pressures. This knowledge is crucial for developing effective conservation and management strategies. The Arecaceae family (palms), comprising approximately 2500 species, plays significant ecological and ...
