Toward a phylogenomic classification of magnoliids. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Magnoliids are a strongly supported clade of angiosperms. Previous phylogenetic studies based primarily on analyses of a limited number of mostly plastid markers have led to the current classification of magnoliids into four orders and 18 families. However, uncertainty remains regarding the placement of several families.

Chronosequence Resampling Elucidates Tree Community and Forest Structure Recovery Patterns in Restored Tropical Rainforest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We studied forest structure, tree diversity, traits and community recovery patterns in an age gradient of actively restored Afrotropical rainforest in 2013 and 2021. The results showed early signs of recovery for tree taxa richness, basal area, stem density and community similarity with variable recovery rates.

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of an essential oil from the seeds of Myristica fragrans Houtt. (nutmeg oil) for all animal species (FEFANA asbl)

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of an essential oil from the seeds of Myristica fragrans Houtt. (nutmeg oil), when used as a sensory additive in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The additive contains myristicin (up to 12%), safrole (2.

Impact of end‐of‐century climate change on priority non‐timber forest product species across tropical Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 1120-1132, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Plant species providing Non‐Timber Forest Products (NTFP) are economically important across Africa. How this heterogeneous and understudied resource will respond to ongoing climate change remains understudied. Here, we modelled the impact of end‐of‐the‐century climate change on the distribution of 40 NTFP plant species distributed across ...
