Comparative wood anatomy and origin of woodiness in subfamilies Secamonoideae and Asclepiadoideae (Apocynaceae)

TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 6, Page 1230-1250, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The Apocynaceae subfamilies Secamonoideae and Asclepiadoideae have undergone several transitions during their evolution with regard to growth form and degree of woodiness. In this study, we present a wood anatomical overview of both subfamilies that complements previous work on the remaining Apocynaceae.

Phylogenomics and generic limits of Dypsidinae (Arecaceae), the largest palm radiation in Madagascar

TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 6, Page 1170-1195, December 2022., 2022
Abstract With 178 species, palm subtribe Dypsidinae is one of the largest plant radiations on Madagascar. A well‐resolved species‐level phylogeny is required not only to unpick the drivers of this spectacular radiation, but also to define natural and useful generic limits in this taxonomically difficult group.

No evidence for yaws infection in a small‐scale cross‐sectional serosurvey in Ghanaian monkeys

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 507-512, January 2023., 2023
Our small‐scale cross‐sectional study found no antibodies against the yaws bacterium in Ghanian monkeys, such as the Monas monkey (Cercopithecus mona) shown in the picture. Nonhuman primate (NHP) testing in Ghana should be continued to reach a geographically equally distributed and species‐specific sample size that allows better statistical support to ...
