Similar understorey structure in spite of edaphic and floristic dissimilarity in Amazonian forests [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2015 Forest structure determines light availability for understorey plants. The structure of lowland Amazonian forests is known to vary over long edaphic gradients, but whether more subtle edaphic variation also affects forest structure has not beenresolved ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Plants and Insect Eggs: First Report of a Katydid Using a Fern as Host for Oviposition
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Ferns are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants worldwide and are particularly abundant in tropical forests. However, the ecological significance of such remarkable diversity has been often underestimated. In this article, we report for the first time the observation of ferns, specifically Polytaenium cajenense (Desv.) Benedict ...
