A target enrichment probe set for resolving phylogenetic relationships in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2023 Abstract Premise Rubiaceae is among the most species‐rich plant families, as well as one of the most morphologically and geographically diverse. Currently available phylogenies have mostly relied on few genomic and plastid loci, as opposed to large‐scale genomic data.

Medicinal Plants Used in the Management of Sexual Dysfunction, Infertility and Improving Virility in the East African Community: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2023 Sexual disorders such as erectile dysfunction (ED), sterility, and sexual inappetence represent some of the complex reproductive challenges that require addressing the underlying causes. The aim of this paper was to systematically synthesize literature on the ethnobotany, phytochemistry, bioactivities, and safety of plants used as remedies for managing

Widespread introduced species dominate the urban tree assemblage on the endemic-rich tropical island of São Tomé. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAfrotropical 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.

The Meaning of Plants' Names: A New Discovering Approach to Its Medicinal and/or Toxic Properties. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat MedSome of the vernacular or scientific names are related to possible medicinal and/or toxic properties that can reveal the presence of potential bioactive agents, contributing to the discovery of new drugs and/or knowledge of the risks associated with their use.

On the hunt for the alternate host of Hemileia vastatrix. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 This hypothesis piece probes a 150‐year‐old question… “is there an alternate host of the fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix?” We use comprehensive geographical botanical data and automated text mining to narrow down the possibilities. Credit: Carvalho et al.

Density and characteristics of tree cavities inside and outside Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 Tree cavity availability, an important nest and shelter site for a host of species that are linked to patterns of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning elsewhere, has been given little attention to the Afrotropics. A baseline survey of cavity availability inside the high‐elevation (2200–3714 m) Afromontane forest ecosystems of Volcanoes National Park,

Canopy arthropod responses to repeated canopy opening in a wet tropical forest
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract With predictions of increased frequency of intense hurricanes, it is increasingly crucial to understand how biotic and abiotic components of forests will be affected. This study describes canopy arthropod responses to repeated experimental and natural canopy opening at the Luquillo Experimental Forest Long‐term Ecological Research Site (LTER ...

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical forest understory regeneration occurs rapidly after disturbance with compositional trajectories that depend on species availability and environmental conditions. To predict future tropical forest regeneration dynamics, we need a deeper understanding of how pulse disturbance events, like hurricanes, interact with environmental ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 2110-2172, March 2021., 2021 High Andean forests play a key role in providing ecosystem services for neighboring urban settlements. Here, we aimed to identify and understand the effects of anthropogenic perturbations on diversity, composition, and structure of plant communities, as well as aboveground biomass in high Andean forest remnants in the hinterland of Bogotá.

Traditional Medicinal Plants as a Source of Antituberculosis Drugs: A System Review
BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Medicinal plants are the chief components in the different oriental formulations in different traditional medical systems worldwide. As a thriving source of medicine, the medicinal plants with antituberculosis (TB) properties inspire the pharmacists to develop new drugs based on their active components or semimetabolites.
