An elevational gradient in floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus in Peru. [PDF]
We analyzed floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus along a steep elevational gradient in Peru. Results show floral traits and pollinator assemblage variation along the elevational gradient. We examined our results considering two hypotheses: (1) local adaptation to different bee assemblages ...

Climate and hybridization shape stomatal trait evolution in Populus. [PDF]
Summary Stomata play a critical role in regulating plant responses to climate. Where sister species differ in stomatal traits, interspecific gene flow can influence the evolutionary trajectory of trait variation, with consequences for adaptation. Leveraging six latitudinally distributed contact zones spanning the natural hybrid zone between Populus ...

Foliar spectral signatures reveal adaptive divergence in live oaks (Quercus section Virentes) across species and environmental niches. [PDF]
Summary Genomic tools have advanced our understanding of species and population structure, but distinguishing neutral from adaptive evolution remains challenging due to limited methods for measuring a broad spectrum of phenotypic traits. We used spectroscopic data from preserved leaves to test for adaptive divergence among populations of live oaks ...

Reduced Offspring Viability Is Associated With Long-Term Stability of a Narrow Avian Hybrid Zone. [PDF]
We investigated hybrid viability in a tropical, avian hybrid zone governed by strong selection on male secondary sexual traits between the white‐collared manakin (Manacus candei) and golden‐collared manakin (M. vitellinus). We assessed putative hybrid fitness by investigating adult survival and hatching success along with a prospective selective ...

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests. [PDF]
Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.

Providing sufficient pollen and nectar resources to support wild pollinators over extended periods in agricultural landscapes can contribute to crop pollination and ensure high fruit weight and quality. This can be achieved by restoring natural and semi‐natural areas near crop fields with native, long‐flowering plant species.
