Environmental heterogeneity influences liana community differentiation across a Neotropical rainforest landscape. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBy analyzing liana community variation among land units (LUs) that differ in geomorphology and soil properties along a 640‐ha tropical rainforest landscape in a neotropical reserve, we found strong evidence supporting our hypothesis that environmental heterogeneity, as represented by discrete LUs, promotes differentiation in liana composition across ...

Local Knowledge and Conservation Priorities of Medicinal Plants near a Protected Area in Brazil
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 We investigated the influence of socioeconomic factors (age, gender, and occupation) on the local knowledge of medicinal plants in the Araripe National Forest, Brazil, and the priority of conservation of the species as perceived by people. Additionally, priority species for in situ conservation were identified by calculating conservation priority (CP).
