Dominance of Ricinus communis in the Semi‐Arid Region Mediated by Allelopathy
ABSTRACT The introduction of invasive alien species can adversely affect the functioning of natural ecosystems. Ricinus communis L., widely present in the Brazilian semi‐arid region, establishes itself in areas with native species, such as Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart.

Undervalued Ecosystems: Ponds Boost Regional Macrophyte Diversity
ABSTRACT Ponds—depressional wetlands with ≤ 2 ha—are largely undervalued worldwide, despite serving as crucial diversity reservoirs. However, the extent to which ponds support diversity at the landscape scale is still underappreciated. Here, we investigate the contributions of ponds to macrophyte beta and gamma diversity in a subtropical wetland ...

Host Status of Brazilian Native Tree Species to Root‐Knot Nematodes
ABSTRACT Root‐knot nematodes (RKN, Meloidogyne spp.) are among the most important plant pathogenic organisms, causing significant damage, with a wide geographical distribution and being difficult to control. The ability of these nematodes to parasitize native trees from Brazilian biomes is little understood.

Familia de amplia distribución pantropical, con alrededor de 50 géneros. El número de especies consideradas ha variado de 550 a 800 y hasta 1400, según diferentes autores, lo cual da una idea del estado de incertidumbre en que se ha encontrado el arreglo taxonómico y el excesivo número de nombres que se manejan en la literatura, todo ello debido a la ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

BRIONONIC ACID FROM THE HEXANE EXTRACT OF Sandoricum koetjape MERR STEM BARK (meliaceae)
An oleane-type triterpenoid, briononic acid was isolated from hexane extract of the stem bark of Sandoricum koetjape Merr. (Meliaceae). This structure had been established based on spectroscopic data (UV, IR, and NMR) and by comparison with spectroscopic

Quantifying the abundance of four large epiphytic fern species in remnant complex notophyll vine forest on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland, Australia [PDF]
Epiphytes are generally considered rare in complex forests on the western edge of the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland. This assertion is based on comparisons with wetter forests in the Wet Tropics bioregion, but is of limited use in restoration ...

Oleanane Triterpenoids from Cedrela montana (Meliaceae) [PDF]
Two new oleanane-type triterpenes, characterized as 3-oxo-11α,12α-epoxy-oleanan-28,13β- olide and 3-oxo-olean-11-en-28,13β-olide , were isolated from the fruits and seeds of Cedrela montana (Meliaceae). In addition, the known compounds oleanonic acid , a mixture of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol, and the limonoid photogedunin were also isolated.
