Edaphic isolation as a driver of divergence in a new Amazonian species of Diclinanona (Annonaceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract For many years a mysterious collection made during an expedition to Venezuelan Amazonia in 1992 was in a folder at the former Utrecht Herbarium as “unidentified Annonaceae”. Several different genera were suggested for identification but since flowers were lacking it was unclear where this taxon should be placed. One of the suggestions based on

Multiple Anthropogenic and Climatic Factors Drive Tree Species Attributes in Ecologically Distinct Sacred Groves in Ghana

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Sacred groves are rich biodiversity hotspots serving as an important habitat for conserving species and providing ecosystem goods and services to meet societal needs. Despite the benefits these sacred groves offer, they are threatened by anthropogenic stressors coupled with climate change impacts, thereby limiting their maximum ability to offer ...

Sub‐Saharan African Oilseeds as Functional Ingredients: Nutritional Profiles, Bioactivities, and Strategies for Enhanced Utilization in Food and Pharmaceutical Systems

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Oilseeds native to sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) represent a nutritionally and economically significant yet underutilized resource for enhancing food and nutrition security. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the nutritional composition, bioactive constituents, and processing technologies associated with indigenous SSA oilseeds, highlighting their

Short-term Toxicological Evaluation of Monodora myristica Seed Oil

IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology, 2013
A short-term preliminary toxicological evaluation of Monodora myristica seed oil was carried out in order to determine the suitability of the oil for nutritional purposes. The total unsaturated fatty acids found in M. myristica seed oil was 79.93% while the total saturated fatty acid was 20.07% with oleic and linoleic acid making up the major portion ...

Complete genus‐level phylogenomics and new subtribal classification of the pantropical plant family Annonaceae

TAXON, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 1341-1369, December 2024.
Abstract Annonaceae is a major tropical plant family particularly diverse in tropical rain forests of the world. Although the classification and systematics of the family has significantly improved over the past decade, the most recent classification was based on a reduced set of plastid markers and incomplete genus‐level taxon sampling.

Widespread introduced species dominate the urban tree assemblage on the endemic‐rich tropical island of São Tomé

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Afrotropical cities are growing rapidly but how this impacts biodiversity is largely unclear. Our study on São Tomé Island, Central Africa, reveals that the urban tree assemblage is impoverished and dominated by introduced species, while the natural forest is essential for the protection of native and endemic species.
