The puzzling ecology of African Marantaceae forests
American Journal of BotanyAbstractMarantaceae forests are tropical rainforests characterized by a continuous understory layer of perennial giant herbs and a near absence of tree regeneration. Although widespread in West‐Central Africa, Marantaceae forests have rarely been considered in the international literature. Yet, they pose key challenges and opportunities for theoretical

Modeling the Current and Future Distribution of Indianthus virgatus (Roxb.) Suksathan & Borchs.: A Monotypic Plant Endemic to the Western Ghats-Sri Lanka Biodiversity Hotspot. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis article projected the distribution of Indianthus virgatus, a monotypic plant endemic to the Western Ghats–Sri Lanka biodiversity hotspot. The article also highlights the role of environmental parameters in determining the current and future distribution projections using MaxEnt and Wallace EcoMod. ABSTRACT Species distribution modeling (SDM) is an

Photosynthesis under far-red light-evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light-harvesting complexes. [PDF]
FEBS LettPhototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Rare Long-Term Data Reveal the Seasonal Dietary Plasticity of Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) in Response to Fruiting Tree Phenology. [PDF]
Am J Primatol(A) Generalized additive models illustrating the relationship between day of year and overall dietary breadth (sum of different food types) and dietary fruit breadth (sum of fruit genera). Lines indicate the predicted binomial probability of a given food type being found in a fecal sample, on a given day of the year (Day 1 = January 1st).

Electrical signals in prayer plants (marantaceae)? Insights into the trigger mechanism of the explosive style movement. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The explosive pollination mechanism of the prayer plants (Marantaceae) is unique among plants. After a tactile stimulus by a pollinator, the style curls up rapidly and mediates pollen exchange. It is still under discussion whether this explosive movement

Stable isotope evidence of meat eating and hunting specialization in adult male chimpanzees [PDF]
, 2013 Observations of hunting and meat eating in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), suggest that among primates, regular inclusion of meat in the diet is not a characteristic unique to Homo.
