Timber and trails: Low-intensity selective logging and elephant trails shape seedling dynamics in an Afrotropical forest. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Very low‐intensity selective logging can be a compromise between strict conservation and income‐generating land use in tropical forests. Investigating how selective logging influences the understory environment and seedling dynamics as the forest regenerates offers insights into whether logging alters forest dynamics, influencing the ...

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 Evol
This 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 Lett
Phototrophs 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).

Comparative phylogeography of eight herbs and lianas (Marantaceae) in central African rainforests

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014
Vegetation history in tropical Africa is still to date hardly known and the drivers of population differentiation and speciation processes are little documented.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.
