Summary Mutualistic interactions between fruiting plants and frugivorous animals are shaped by interaction‐relevant functional traits. However, it is unclear whether ‘trait matching’ underlies broad‐scale relationships in plant and frugivore species and their functional diversity. We integrated novel trait data and global occurrences for c.

Primeiro registro de madeira de annonaceae para o neógeno da América do Sul, Bacia do Amazonas, Brasil [PDF]
The relief of the regions of Manaus and Itacoatiara,Central Amazon, is supported by Neogene siliciclastic rocks, boundedat the base and top by lateritic paleosols and covered by quaternary sedimentarydeposits from the Solimões-Amazon river system.

Land‐use changes impact root–fungal network connectivity in a global biodiversity hotspot
Dimensioning the impacts of rainforest transformations below‐ground is constrained by our understanding of fungal functional guilds. Highly modified systems exhibited fewer connections, suggesting a dynamic restructuring of root–fungal relationships in response to land‐use changes.

Attraction of Pollinators to Atemoya (Magnoliales: Annonaceae) in Puerto Rico: A Synergistic Approach Using Multiple Nitidulid Lures [PDF]
Atemoya, a hybrid between Annona squamosa (L.) and A. cherimola Miller (Annonaceae), has potential to be a major fruit crop in tropical and subtropical areas. A major setback to fruit production throughout the world is low fruit-set because of inadequate pollinator visits, typically Nitidulidae beetles.

Phenolic metabolism in Sarcandra glabra is mediated by distinct BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases
Significance Statement Four genes and enzymes involved in the formation of hydroxycinnamoyl esters with shikimic, quinic, hydroxyphenyllactic, and benzoic acids as well as amides with hydroxyanthranilic and d‐amino acids were identified in Sarcandra glabra (Chloranthaceae), placed in a sister clade of the magnoliids.

Systematic revision of Myristicaceae (Magnoliales) in Madagascar, with four new species of Mauloutchia [PDF]
The systematics of Malagasy Myristicaceae is revised to take into account new collections made since the work by Capuron in the 1970s, as well as improved knowledge from fieldwork and two scanning electron microscopy studies by the author. Four new species are described: Mauloutchia annickiae Sauquet, M. capuronii Sauquet, M.

Floral structure and systematics in four orders of rosids, including a broad survey of floral mucilage cells [PDF]
Phylogenetic studies have greatly impacted upon the circumscription of taxa within the rosid clade, resulting in novel relationships at all systematic levels. In many cases the floral structure of these taxa has never been compared, and in some families,

We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...
