Leaf anatomy of species of Calea sect. Lemmatium (Asteraceae) with a taxonomic emphasis
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Calea sect. Lemmatium is one of five sections of Calea (Neurolaeneae, Asteraceae), containing 12 species that are morphologically similar, which makes their identification difficult to non‐experts. The current study aimed to provide an anatomical characterization of species from Calea sect.

Symbiont Polyphyly, Co-Evolution, and Necessity in Pentatomid Stinkbugs from Costa Rica
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Interdomain symbioses with bacteria allow insects to take advantage of underutilized niches and provide the foundation for their evolutionary success in neotropical ecosystems. The gut microbiota of 13 micro-allopatric tropical pentatomid species, from a

Relatedness, trait evolution, and climatic niche divergence in mammalian island endemics
Oikos, EarlyView.Island mammals have influenced ecological and evolutionary theory since Darwin, and many of them provide textbook examples of the dramatic morphological evolution that often occurs in island communities. However, patterns of evolution in the climatic niches of island mammals have yet to be fully explored.

Changes in land cover drove the recent range expansion of a tropical farmland bird
Oikos, EarlyView.Several bird species associated with agricultural landscapes in the Palearctic and in the Nearctic (i.e. farmland birds) have been experiencing severe population declines since the 1970s, mainly due to habitat loss driven by agricultural intensification.

Oikos, EarlyView.Fragmentation and habitat loss driven by agricultural expansion have significantly affected bird ecology. Additionally, the growing use of agrochemicals impacts ecosystems and avian communities. Tools such as isotopic analysis provide reliable proxies for assessing organisms' habitat use and diet, and can also reflect environmental alterations, such as

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The primarily neotropical plant genus Heliconia has been cultivated commercially in gardens and nurseries for hundreds of years. Many of these same species are ecological keystones in their native habitats as important resources for herbivorous insects and pollinating hummingbirds, yet they face threats of habitat loss and degradation, competition with

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Novel forest ecosystems consist of forest ecosystems dominated by non‐native tree species that are difficult to restore to their pre‐human disturbance states. Nevertheless, novel forests can provide numerous ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and storage.
