Local Forest Structure and Host Specificity Influence Liana Community Composition in a Moist Central African Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Our study unravels liana community dynamics in Congo, addressing the scarcity of central African liana literature. Using unique datasets, we offer original insights into liana functional ecology, host specificity, and competition with herbs. ABSTRACT Lianas are important components of tropical forest diversity and dynamics, yet little is known about ...

Dynamic in vivo monitoring of granum structural changes of Ctenanthe setosa (Roscoe) Eichler during drought stress and subsequent recovery

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Investigating the effects of drought stress and subsequent recovery on the structure and function of chloroplasts is essential to understanding how plants adapt to environmental stressors. We investigated Ctenanthe setosa (Roscoe) Eichler, an ornamental plant that can tolerate prolonged drought periods (40 and 49 days of water withdrawal ...

Where did they come from, where did they go? Niche conservatism in woody and herbaceous plants and implications for plant‐based paleoclimatic reconstructions

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Premise The ecological conditions that constrain plants to an environmental niche are assumed to be constant through time. While the fossil record has been used previously to test for niche conservatism of woody flowering plants, additional studies are needed in other plant groups especially since they can provide insight with paleoclimatic ...
