Honeybees Collecting Latex From Breadfruit (<i>Artocarpus altilis</i>) in Puerto Rico Reveal a Novel Interaction With Broad Eco-Evolutionary Implications. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis article showcases a unique natural history observation of honeybees collecting latex from the breadfruit tree (Artocarpus altilis), both nonnative species in Puerto Rico. This represents a unique interaction and here we explore how this behavior may come about in novel ecosystems.

Tropical Montane Cloud Forests Have High Resilience to Five Years of Severe Soil Drought. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolA 5‐year throughfall exclusion experiment in a Peruvian tropical montane cloud forest reduced soil moisture by 69%, leading to lower photosynthetic inputs and autotrophic respiration but maintaining net primary productivity and carbon sink capacity. Trees responded through metabolic downregulation, reduced fruit production, increased wood density, and ...

Non-Native Plants Alter Bird-Plant Frugivory Network Structure in a Human-Modified Tropical Landscape. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples from 21 frugivorous bird species in Gamboa, Panama, was used to assess how non‐native plants influence frugivory network structure. Non‐native species, though comprising only 28% of plants, reduced nestedness, increased connectance and modularity, and caused disproportionately high secondary bird extinctions while ...

Endemic Vascular Epiphytes: Integrating Protected Areas and Suitability Models in the Amazon Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study aimed to identify the number of vascular epiphytes endemic to the Amazon rainforest and to estimate the distribution of 15 of these species using species distribution modeling (SDM). In addition, the work examined the potential occurrence of these epiphytes inside and outside protected areas (PAs) in the Amazon, with a view to predicting ...
