Global meliponiculture: challenges and opportunities [PDF]

Apidologie, 2006
Stingless bees are social bees that live in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. All species produce honey, which has been appreciated by humans since ancient times. Here, the general panorama of meliponiculture is presented. Deforestation and poor management are the main problems faced by this incipient industry.

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross-scale approach. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Climate Change Effect on <i>Haematoxylum campechianum</i> and <i>Haematoxylum calakmulense</i> (Fabaceae): Are We Losing Our Natural Heritage in South-Eastern Mexico? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Climate change threatens biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems, specifically in key species. It seems that Haematoxylum calakmulense will lose more suitable areas than Haematoxylum campehianum in the future. Our results should be considered in current and future reforestation plans to improve their efficiency.
